When was the last time you had your carpets cleaned by a professional company?

Unexpected accidents or stains by a child or pet, you may feel can be cleaned by yourself with a carpet cleaning solution and a rag.  DON’T wait to have them professionally cleaned!

The Environmental Protection Agency recommends carpets in residential homes are cleaned every 6-12 months if 2 people or less live in the home who are nonsmokers. Larger families with both kids and pets, the EPA recommends a professional carpet cleaning every 3 months.

Indoor air quality in most homes is the basis for this recommendation.  Pet dander, dust and a multitude of other germs collect on your carpet, which acts as a filter for air circulating through your home.  Clean carpets can make a difference in the quality of life for pregnant women, people with allergies and asthma, and the elderly.

The average cost for a 3 room, two hallway carpet area cleaning is about $125 after coupons and specials are applied.  This information can be gathered by a quick check of professional carpet cleaning companies and their prices.
