2019 Carpet Cleaning Checklist

Person checking items off of a list

As we move into 2019, now is the perfect time to get a jump start on the new year and evaluate the cleanliness of the carpet in your home. Here are some items to check off to help you decide if it's time for a professional carpet cleaning:

Do you notice dark spots or dirt and grime in your carpet?

One of the more obvious ways to tell if it's time for a cleaning is if you can visibly see the build-up of dirt and grime on your carpets. Inspect the areas of your home that receive a lot of foot traffic throughout the day.

Are there any signs of mold?

Take a look near windows, air conditioning units, and bathrooms for signs of mold growth. Mold growth can cause a variety of health issues for you and your family members.

Do you notice members of your household constantly sneezing or coming down with colds?

Just like with mold, letting dirt and dust build up in your carpet can cause respiratory problems and affect the air quality in your home.

Do your carpets give off bad odors?

If you notice an undesirable stench in your home, it might be time for a professional carpet cleaning—especially for homes with pets or children that like to cause messes or stains.

Has it been more than 12 months since your last carpet cleaning?

Remember: It's recommended in the cleaning industry to have your carpets professionally cleaned at least every 12 months.
