How
Often Should Your Carpet Be Professionally Cleaned?
The IICRC* has stated in the Standard for
Carpet Cleaning that "Consumers must not wait until carpet
looks soiled before cleaning. Experts agree that clean carpet
contributes not only to the overall aesthetics of a structure,
but plays a significant role in the healthful state of the
overall environment in which people... spend the majority
of their time."
The United States EPA in a letter dated
January, 1989 (referenced in the IICRC Carpet Cleaning Standard*)
included the following information to serve as a guideline
for cleaning frequencies for carpet from a health perspective.
*What
is the IICRC Carpet Cleaning Standard?
This Industry Standard was developed to define the minimum
standards for carpet care by a task force with input from
DuPont, the EPA, Shaw Industries, ASCAR, BASF Fibers, the
Carpet and Fabricare Institute, the Carpet Manufacturers
Association, S.C. Johnston Wax, Monsanto, Miliken, and others
for the Institute of Inspection, Cleaning and Restoration
Certification (IICRC)
