It Depends on Your Household
There’s No One-Size-Fits-All Answer
Cleaning frequency depends on foot traffic, pets, children, allergy sufferers and the colour and fibre of your carpet. The right cycle keeps carpets looking great, protects indoor air quality and keeps your manufacturer warranty intact.
By Household Type
Recommended Cleaning Cycles
| Household | Vacuum | Professional Clean |
|---|---|---|
| No pets / low traffic | Weekly | Every 12–18 months |
| Family home | 2× weekly | Every 6–12 months |
| Pets or allergies | 2–3× weekly | Every 3–6 months |
| Commercial / high traffic | Daily | Every 1–3 months |
Don’t Wait for Visible Soil
Signs Your Carpet Is Overdue
1
Lingering odours
A stale smell means trapped soil and bacteria are breaking down in the pile.
2
Dull, flat colour
Embedded grit abrades fibre tips, dulling the carpet even when it looks “clean”.
3
Allergy flare-ups
Increased sneezing or dust may mean the carpet filter is saturated.
4
Visible traffic lanes
Grey pathways in hallways and walkways indicate deep-set soil.
