How often do you get your carpets cleaned??

[Blessed_wth_Triplets]

Hope you don't mind me asking! Just curious what others do. When we bought our house (6 months ago) we had our carpets cleaned, although they looked great and the previous owners said they had them cleaned every six months....they were clean freaks (like me!) and the house was in great shape.

My question is do they really need to be cleaned every year? We have no pets, don't wear shoes in the house, don't eat on the carpets...but obviously there is wear and tear.

Another question...it just seems to be that frequent cleaning would "wear" the carpet...no?

I clean mine whenever anything gets spilled on them. Sometimes that is once or twice a month or sometimes it's can be up to six months or more I guess.

We usually will do our own carpet cleaner 4-6 months and once a year the carpet cleaners come. We don't wear shoes in the house or have animals either but we still need to clean it for some reason or another?

Twice a year, when I do my spring & fall cleaning. I bought my own Hoover Steam Carpet Cleaner and I LOVE it.

We have our own carpet cleaner and just do it as it's needed. DD's room gets done the most as well as the area rug in out living room and hallway rug. My room gets done probably once a year

Well I don't have carpet but think of it like this. We have wood floors. We do not have any pets and we don't wear shoes in the house. My floors need to be washed a few times a week in addition to vacuuming often. How and why they get dirty I have no idea. They just do. Now think of a carpet that has only been vacuumed and not washed weekly. If it were me I would buy my own carpet cleaner and wash them once a month.
