One common question is how often should I clean my carpet or upholstery? This is a question without a clear answer. You should clean your carpet at least once per year but you might want to clean it more often if you have kids, pets or if you smoke. Your upholstery should be cleaned at least once every two years. If you use your upholstery heavily you should probably clean it once per year.

Another question asked commonly is how long will it take for my carpet or upholstery to dry? This depends on the cleaning method used. If you use a dry cleaning method you should expect your carpets to dry within one hour. If you use steam cleaning you should expect your carpet to dry within four to twelve hours. Upholstery will take between two to twelve hours to dry. This depends on the type of material and the method used to clean it.

One more question is, Is carpet cleaning safe? Yes it is. It is actually more unsafe to not clean your carpet. A clean carpet contributes to a cleaner home by removing impurities in the air. If you are sensitive to chemicals you might want to ask your cleaner what kind of cleaners they use. You might want to then either not be in the house while it is being cleaned or use a cleaner that uses all natural cleaning.

I hope these answers have helped you with your carpet cleaning questions. If you have further questions you should consult your local carpet cleaning company.
