Carpets need to be periodically cleaned to extend the carpet’s life, improve your home or business’s health, and improve its appearance. However, people usually wait to clean a carpet when it appears to get very dirty, or only when they are ready to move out.

In the Reno-Sparks area, due to the desert dust that surrounds us, most carpets should be cleaned every 12 to 18 months. Waiting longer than this lets the dust and dirt sink deep into your carpet’s fibers. What happens then is the dirt grinds away at the carpet fibers, cutting and thinning the fibers. This wearing down of fibers is what leads to the appearance of thinning, worn carpet.

Of course some carpets should be cleaned more often. Stains and odors should be treated as soon as possible. Each passing day makes stains harder to remove, increasing the chance they become permanent. Heavily used carpets - for example hallways, office corridors, and similar locations with high traffic - should also be cleaned more often. On the flip side, some carpets don’t need cleaned as often. A Lake Tahoe vacation home which is in use only a few months a year, for example, or a lightly used area of the house may go two years without a carpet cleaning.

Your carpets are a large investment, and a carpet cleaning improves the environment as well as saves money in the long run. Contact us today to get your Reno area carpets cleaned today.
