Keeping your carpets clean is a hassle, especially as more kids and pets are added. It can be difficult to keep up on carpet cleaning because you have to do it consistently or else your carpet can struggle. Here are some of the times when you would want to choose vacuum cleaning or steam cleaning when caring for your carpets.
Vacuum Cleaning:
• Biweekly: You should vacuum your home twice every week to keep your carpets clean. Since every household should own a vacuum, this should be a simple proposition, and it should be more than possible to keep up vacuuming twice a week.
• Debris: Vacuums are great at pulling things out of the carpet. Whether that be debris, hair, dirt, or anything solid that can get into the carpet.
• Hard-to-Reach Spots: Vacuum cleaners come with attachments that make it easier to reach spots. You can use them to get into corners, under couch cushions, or any hard to clean spots.
Steam Cleaning:
• Yearly: While different carpets may recommend steam cleaning every 6-18 months, the average is steam cleaning every year. It can be done more often if your carpets face a lot of stains.
• Stains: Steam is great at getting out stains that a vacuum may not be able to get out. This is great for someone with messy children or messy pets that often stain the carpet.
• General Cleaning: Since steam cleaning uses water to clean it can be used to get out deep-hiding debris that a vacuum may not get.
Steam cleaning and vacuum cleaning are both important parts of keeping your carpets clean, but they use different tools to do so. Make sure to keep up on both of these things to keep your carpets clean.
