Commercial Carpet Cleaning: How Often Should This Be Done?

November 20, 2018

Carpets are typically found in most residential buildings, such as houses and apartments. Commercial establishments like hotels and offices also have carpeted rooms. It’s no secret that carpets are an integral part of living spaces today, and they can see a lot of foot traffic in a short amount of time, especially in commercial buildings.

Of course, carpets look best when they are maintained and cleaned regularly, as nobody wants a carpet with unusual stains and odours. But the real question is how often should carpet be cleaned?

Commercial Carpet Cleaning VS Do-It-Yourself Carpet Cleaning

First off, commercial carpet cleaning is a professional service. It’s not the same as regular carpet cleaning which you can do on your own. Secondly, commercial carpet cleaning is more intensive and requires the use of specialized tools that can get rid of dirt, stains, allergens, and pollutants that may have settled in the deeper layers of your carpet. Meanwhile, DIY cleaning only takes care of the carpet’s surface.

Above all, commercial carpet cleaning requires skill and knowledge. This explains why it needs a trained hand because only professional carpet cleaners have a thorough understanding of the different kinds of carpets and methods of cleaning them properly.

How often do you need commercial carpet cleaning?

On average, carpets require professional cleaning every 12 to 18 months. But this is only applicable to carpets that are found in low-traffic areas. Carpets found in hallways, staircases, and other high-traffic areas may require more frequent cleaning every 6 to 12 months.

Professional carpet cleaners will look into other factors as well to determine how often your carpets need cleaning. Listed below are ways carpet professionals can tell how frequent you need commercial carpet cleaning based on the following criteria for residential buildings:

• Are shoes worn indoors?
• Are there children in your home?
• Are pets allowed on the carpet?
• Does your carpet have a light colour?
• Are their people in your household with allergies or asthma?

The more times you answer ‘yes’ to these questions, the more likely your carpets need to be cleaned on a regular basis. However, it is good practice to vacuum your carpet once a week, or at least once a month – whether or not you have scheduled commercial carpet cleaning services.
