Dirt, Smells, and Other Indications Your Next Carpet Cleaning Might Be Overdue

Wondering if it’s time to have your carpets deep-cleaned by a skilled professional?

Whether it’s simply been a long time since your last cleaning or you’re worried about a specific concern, there are a few important indicators to watch out for that’ll help you know when your carpets are ripe and ready for a professional cleaning.

#1 – It’s Visibly Soiled or Stained

Can you see dirt, soil, or other grime in your carpets? How about stubborn stains that just won’t go away no matter what you do? If so, you may need to up your vacuuming or spot-cleaning game—and it’s definitely time to get a deep cleaning from a trusted provider like Oxi Fresh.

Our routine carpet cleanings will clear up the great majority of that dirt and soil, making your carpets look cleaner and brighter. We’ve also got more advanced solutions that can help us tackle some of the toughest stains around.

#2 – It’s Smelly

If your carpets are at all smelly—and especially if those odors are lingering or persistent—you need a professional carpet cleaning. A basic carpet cleaning should provide some relief from mild odor issues, but Oxi Fresh also offers a powerful odor control solution that has you covered even in more severe situations.

#3 – Worsening Respiratory Issues

Are you noticing a spike in sneezing around your home? Or maybe your allergy sufferers are experiencing other seemingly worsening respiratory symptoms? If so, it’s possible your carpets are filled to the brim with dust mites, pollen, dander, or other common irritants or allergens.

Thankfully, a quality carpet cleaning from a capable professional can help with clearing away these nasty particles and supporting your indoor air quality. So go ahead and book that next cleaning today to see what it can do for your family.

#4 – You’re Prepping for a Big Event

Getting your home ready for a big event is one of the most common reasons people hire a professional carpet cleaner. Maybe you’re selling your home soon and need it to look its very best for potential buyers. Maybe you’re throwing a party for the “Big Game.” Maybe it’s the holidays and you’ve got all 19 of your cousins stopping by for dinner.

Whatever the case, freshly cleaned carpets can help you and your home shine in front of guests during all your biggest moments.

#5 – It’s Been Months Since Your Last Deep Cleaning

Has it been a long time since your last carpet cleaning? That in and of itself is a good indicator that you probably need a professional service. Even if your carpet seems to be performing and looking great, regular professional cleanings play a big role in protecting your carpets and extending their lifespan.

At Oxi Fresh, we recommend that residential customers get their carpets cleaned at least every nine to twelve months. In truth, the ideal frequency for your home can vary a lot based on your unique situation, such as how many children or pets you have in the home, how much traffic your home gets, what kind of carpets you have, and other relevant factors. Many of our customers have their carpets cleaned professionally as often as twice a year, but you might be able to get away with less frequent cleanings in a low-traffic environment.

If you’d like some help figuring out what the ideal frequency might be for your home, give us a call at 1-877-OXIFRESH. We’d be happy to help.
