This is a minimum standard for all carpets to keep them fresh and free from allergens. However, high-traffic areas will need cleaning more regularly.<\/p>\n<p>Carpets benefit from being shampooed alongside regular vacuuming because it helps to lift dirt, grime, odours and allergens far more effectively. Think about it this way: If you dry shampoo your hair, it\u2019s sort of clean, but nowhere near as clean as properly washing and shampooing it. The same logic applies to your carpet.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-138716\" src=\"https:\/\/cleaning-express.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/how-often-should-you-shampoo-your-carpet-1030x773.jpg\" alt=\"how often should you shampoo your carpet\" width=\"1030\" height=\"773\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cleaning-express.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/how-often-should-you-shampoo-your-carpet-1030x773.jpg 1030w, https:\/\/cleaning-express.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/how-often-should-you-shampoo-your-carpet-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cleaning-express.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/how-often-should-you-shampoo-your-carpet-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cleaning-express.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/how-often-should-you-shampoo-your-carpet-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/cleaning-express.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/how-often-should-you-shampoo-your-carpet-scaled.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/cleaning-express.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/how-often-should-you-shampoo-your-carpet-1500x1125.jpg 1500w, https:\/\/cleaning-express.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/how-often-should-you-shampoo-your-carpet-705x529.jpg 705w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1030px) 100vw, 1030px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_Much_Does_it_Cost_to_Clean_a_Carpet\"><\/span>How Much Does it Cost to Clean a Carpet<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The cost of cleaning a carpet depends on several factors, such as the tools and products you plan to use, whether you rent or buy them, and even where you live. You can buy a carpet steam cleaner for about \u00a3100, but this isn\u2019t as effective as a proper shampooer.<\/p>\n<p>These will set you back several hundred pounds if you want to buy one (which isn\u2019t really necessary). Instead, look to hire a cleaning local company. Carpet cleaning can range from \u00a325 to \u00a3250 depending on how much carpet your home has.<\/p>\n<p>More cost-effective options include dry products, such as odour-eliminating powders. You sprinkle these on and then vacuum them out. They\u2019re never as effective as proper shampooing but are better than nothing if you\u2019re on a tight budget.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_Wash_a_Carpet\"><\/span>How to Wash a Carpet<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you\u2019ve decided to rent (or buy) a carpet cleaner, here are the general steps for how to wash a carpet. Bear in mind that these might differ depending on the product you\u2019re using, so check if the supplier has specific instructions.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1_Prep_the_Area\"><\/span>1. Prep the Area<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>First, make sure your carpet is ready to be washed. Start by removing as much furniture as you can from the room so you\u2019ve got a nice open space to shampoo. Most carpet cleaners have fairly small heads, but you\u2019ll want to make good use of the cleaner while you have it.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Vacuum_Thoroughly\"><\/span>2. Vacuum Thoroughly<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Next, you need to thoroughly vacuum the carpet. The easiest way to do this is to use the hose without any attachments, and get down on your hands and knees and give it a really good going over.<\/p>\n<p>Make a couple of passes over the carpet from different angles to remove as much dust and debris as you can. Although the carpet cleaner will pick up anything you\u2019ve missed, getting it clean reduces the risk of you clogging up the machine.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Spot_Clean_Problem_Areas\"><\/span>3. Spot Clean Problem Areas<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>For best results, you\u2019ll want to pre-treat any stained areas, just as you would with laundry. You can buy spot treatment products online easily, or the place you rented your carpet cleaner from might stock them. Simply follow the instructions on the bottle.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_Get_Your_Cleaner_Ready\"><\/span>4. Get Your Cleaner Ready<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Typically, a carpet shampooer has a clean water tank and a dirty water tank. You need to fill the clean water tank before you start and add the required amount of cleaning solution. There are different types available, such as odour eliminating, pet-specific ones, and more. Make sure you pick the right one for your needs.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_Work_Slowly_Across_the_Room\"><\/span>5. Work Slowly Across the Room<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>For best results, work in strips along the room. Press the cleaner\u2019s trigger to inject water into the carpet. Move forwards in a line and then work your way back to thoroughly suck up the dirty water.<\/p>\n<p>Repeat this process by moving the cleaner to a new line, pushing forwards and then pulling back. This is pretty much how you use a carpet cleaner!<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"6_Rinse_the_Carpet\"><\/span>6. Rinse the Carpet<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>This is an optional step that can help to remove any remaining dirt or cleaning solution. Once you\u2019ve cleaned the room, refill the clean water tank just with water. Make another pass over the room as normal to inject clean water into the carpet.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"7_Leave_it_to_Dry\"><\/span>7. Leave it to Dry<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Finally, just let the carpet dry. If possible, open windows and put the heating on, as this\u2019ll help the carpet to dry more quickly. You should expect it to take at least 4-6 hours, but it can take a day or two in colder or more humid conditions.<\/p>\n<p>Remember that the longer it stays wet, the more likely it is to develop a damp smell. If necessary, set up a dehumidifier to speed up the process.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_Often_Should_You_Clean_Carpets_Allergy_Sufferers\"><\/span>How Often Should You Clean Carpets? Allergy Sufferers<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>For normal carpets in homes where no one suffers from allergies, cleaning them once a year is enough. But if you have allergies, particularly seasonal ones, cleaning your carpets up to 4 times a year can be beneficial.<\/p>\n<p>This ultimately depends on the type of allergies you suffer from. For example, if you have hayfever or other seasonal allergies, clean at the beginning and end of the problem season. But if you suffer from allergies related to dust and mould, 4 times a year can be helpful.<\/p>\n<p>The process is no different for allergy carpet cleaning. Rent or buy a carpet cleaner and follow the instructions above. However, a steam cleaner could work fine for this, as it\u2019ll do a decent job of lifting the problem debris from the carpet.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_Often_Should_You_Shampoo_Your_Carpets_If_You_Have_Pets\"><\/span>How Often Should You Shampoo Your Carpets If You Have Pets?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you have pets, you should probably shampoo your carpets up to 4 times a year. This depends on factors such as how heavily your pet sheds and whether they have accidents in the house. For the latter, immediate spot treatment is necessary.<\/p>\n<p>A carpet cleaner will do a much better job of lifting pet hair than a vacuum cleaner. However, make sure you only use pet-safe products, as you can never be too careful. Bear in mind that residual cleaning solution could be transferred to their paws and into their mouth.<\/p>\n<p>If you want to learn more, please read our article about<a href=\"https:\/\/cleaning-express.com\/how-to-remove-pet-hair-from-carpet\/\"> how to remove pet hair from carpets<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_Often_Should_You_Wash_Your_Carpet_High_Traffic_Areas\"><\/span>How Often Should You Wash Your Carpet? High Traffic Areas<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>High traffic areas are those that receive a lot of footfall, such as a living room, hallway, landing, stairwell, etc. These need cleaning more often because there will be more dirt and the carpet fibres will be pressed down more regularly. For these areas, 2-3 times a year should be enough. Regularly cleaning high-traffic areas will also help keep the carpet in good condition, extending its lifespan by a surprising amount.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_Long_to_Wait_Before_Vacuuming_New_Carpet\"><\/span>How Long to Wait Before Vacuuming New Carpet?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>You don\u2019t have to wait before vacuuming a new carpet \u2013 you can theoretically hoover it as soon as it\u2019s laid. Doing so helps to remove loose fibres that might have popped out while it was being laid. Assuming it\u2019s been laid properly and is sufficiently tight, there\u2019s no reason why it can\u2019t be vacuumed immediately.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Final_Thoughts\"><\/span>Final Thoughts<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>How often should you clean your carpet ultimately depends on where in the house it is, how much traffic it sees, and whether you have pets or allergies. At least once a year is enough, but doing it more often can help to keep it in good condition.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, you need to also factor in the time required to do so as well as the cost of getting the equipment and cleaning products. But keeping your carpet properly clean will help to extend its lifespan and ensure your home looks clean and smells fresh.<\/p>\n<p>You also hire a <a href=\"https:\/\/cleaning-express.com\/carpet-cleaning\/\">carpet cleaning service<\/a> to clean your carpets without the added stress of cleaning, effort and time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Cleaning your carpet is probably a job that many of us overlook.
