Dust particles break down the fibers in your carpet, so besides regular vacuuming to remove extra dust and dirt before it can cause damage, we recommend professional carpet cleaning to remove all the dust, mites and allergens that your vacuuming can't. This will keep your carpet looking great for years to come.
In general, we recommend carpet steam cleaning every six to twelve months. This works excellently for carpet and furniture cleaning.
