If you have carpet on your floor you will no doubt know that having carpet cleaning done on a regular basis will keep it looking bright and fresh all the time. But regular does not mean often. According to Brilliance Cleaning, Six to twelve months is usually enough, depending on whether you have pets and toddlers. Professional cleaning done more often than that simply causes unnecessary wear the tear to the carpet, plus it disrupts your life while you wait for it to dry.

So what happens when you have tradies coming through the house to renovate or repair it? You can’t expect them to take their boots off at the door; they have to wear them on the job for protection.  But if the route to their job leads across your carpet it is highly likely to get very dirty, especially if the weather is wet and they’ve had to tread on unpaved areas to get to your door.
