How Often Should You Clean Your Carpet If You Have Pets?

Homes with pets should have their carpets professionally cleaned every 3 to 6 months to maintain cleanliness, extend carpet life, and remove pet-related contaminants.

But why is frequent carpet cleaning necessary? And how does professional cleaning differ from store-bought solutions?

Benefits of Regular Carpet Cleaning for Pet Owners

1. Removal of Pet Hair, Dander & Allergens

• Pet fur and dander get deeply embedded in carpet fibers, beyond the reach of standard vacuums.
• Our high-powered hot water extraction process flushes out and removes trapped allergens, improving indoor air quality.

2. Elimination of Pet Stains & Odors

• Pet accidents leave behind bacteria and lingering odors that standard cleaners can’t fully remove.
• Our advanced deodorizing treatments break down pet-related messes at the source.
• For deep-set stains, we evaluate and apply specialized pet treatments based on your carpet type.

3. Preventing Long-Term Carpet Damage & Bacteria Build-Up

• The longer pet stains, dirt, and dander remain in carpet fibers, the harder they are to remove.
• Regular professional cleaning prevents permanent staining, odor absorption, and fiber deterioration.

Factors That Determine How Often You Should Clean Your Carpet

✔ Puppy Age & Potty Training Stage

• Younger puppies (under 6 months) may require cleaning every 3 months due to frequent accidents.
• If potty training is nearly complete, you may extend cleaning to every 4–6 months based on accident frequency.

✔ Shedding & Breed Type

• Heavy shedders (e.g., Golden Retrievers, Huskies) cause more dander buildup, requiring frequent cleanings.
• Hypoallergenic breeds may not need cleaning as often unless they track in dirt or have accidents.

✔ Indoor vs. Outdoor Access

• Dogs with frequent outdoor access bring in dirt, mud, and pollen, leading to faster carpet contamination.
• If your pet spends time in the yard daily, consider a professional cleaning every 3–4 months.
