Start Fresh with Pro-Master Cleaning & Restoration’s Carpet Expertise

Things may look tidy for a while when you clean your carpets yourself. However, normal vacuuming leaves fibers and subsurfaces harboring an alarming amount of dirt, bacteria and allergens.

A four person household drags in around 12 pounds of dirt annually. As each person can take up to 12,000 steps indoors on average every day, that dust, pet dander and outdoor debris grinds deeply into your carpets.

Pro-Master Cleaning & Restoration provides professional carpet cleaning to ensure your living space remains sanitary and fresh. Our specialized techniques remove visible stains and tackle the hidden allergens and bacteria that DIY methods don’t reach. 

How Often Should You Clean Your Carpet? Explore Expert Recommendations

Your family’s lifestyle and level of foot traffic are the leading considerations when thinking about how often you should clean your carpets.

For low-traffic homes, vacuuming weekly and scheduling deep cleaning every 6 to 12 months may suffice. However, homes with children, pets or smokers require more attention. We recommend twice weekly vacuuming and professional deep cleaning every 3 to 6 months for those homes.

Health authorities emphasize that unclean carpets can exacerbate respiratory issues like asthma due to trapped allergens and bacteria. Regular deep cleaning addresses these issues and ensures your carpets look and smell their best.

Pro-Master Cleaning & Restoration’s advanced cleaning methods combined with expert recommendations deliver results that meet the highest hygiene and aesthetic standards.

Understanding the Impact of Foot Traffic on Your Carpets

Foot traffic is one of the primary culprits we battle when we clean your carpets. Every step presses dirt and grit deeper into the fibers creating layers of grime that are difficult to remove with standard vacuuming. Just imagine — a four-person household takes around 17.5 million steps in your home annually. Even bare feet can leave oils and debris behind.

Untreated dirt causes long-term carpet damage. Constant pressure flattens carpet fibers, leading to a dull and worn appearance. Gritty particles act like sandpaper against the fibers over time.

Pro-Master Cleaning & Restoration restores the texture and fluff of your carpets, extending lifespan and delaying expensive replacements. Although strong, our methods preserve the structural integrity of your flooring.

Effective Carpet Maintenance Strategies

Between professional treatments, regular maintenance is key to knowing how to clean your carpet.

Here are some easy carpet care tips

  • Use vacuums equipped with HEPA filters to trap allergens effectively.
  • Blot, don’t scrub spills gently with a mixture of vinegar and water.
  • Neutralize odors by sprinkling baking soda before vacuuming — this single simple step can help eliminate lingering smells. 

Regular maintenance is important but professional services are essential for deeper cleaning. Pro-Master Cleaning & Restoration employs state-of-the-art equipment and techniques such as shampooing, steaming and drying to remove embedded dirt, tackle stubborn stains and deodorize carpets.

When we clean your carpets, your home receives the comprehensive care needed to stay fresh and hygienic especially in high-traffic areas.
