How Often Should I Have My Rug Cleaned?

It’s extremely easy to zone out about the things we keep in our home. From dusting shelves and bookcases to window washing and more, basic household cleaning tasks are easy to forget but important to keep up on! With that in mind, the rugs we walk on virtually every day are perhaps one of the easiest things to forget to clean, but maybe one of the most important!

Depending on the type of rug, the amount of traffic and a few other factors, time estimates for when you should clean can vary. However, a general guideline is every one to two years. If there are frequent spills on the rug, if you have pets, children, or allergies, a yearly cleaning is the healthiest.
