Most consumers really do not know how often they should clean their carpets.  After investing money on carpeting in your home it is necessary to know how to take care of it not only for appearances sake but for the longevity of the carpets.  Just vacuuming your carpets does not do enough but it is a necessity.  For one thing, your carpet can attract and store a ton of allergens.  It can even start to affect the health of you and your family members. Dust can accumulate; along with other allergens like pollen you should vacuum your home on a daily basis to keep dust from building up.  You have to remember there are dust, hair, dust mites, odors, stains and smoke that come with it.  It really depends on many factors of your household and your daily activities.  Some households may not need carpet cleaning but once a year to every 6 months.  You have to take into consideration of children, pets and how many people live there.  If you do have pets and children in your home; you need to clean your carpets every 3 months.
