Comment on How to keep carpet clean?
berryjam@lemmy.world 5 months agoThanks, I’d never heard of carpet cleaner machines before this thread, so I’m glad I asked. How often should I use it? My household is all adults, no pets, we wear house slippers.
IMO very rarely. You’d use it if something had majorly soiled the carpet that’s bigger than a spot clean or if you are freshening up, such as an exit or spring clean.
It’s a time consuming process, as you aren’t scrubbing the carpet - just spraying in soap and sucking it back out several times until it comes out clean.
It sounds like a hassle 😆 Thank you. Maybe I’ll do it just once on a hot summer day.
Oh it definitely is. Also consider having to work in a humid room as you’ll be working with a wet carpet too. Not gonna be fun on a hot day unless you have ventilation and air-conditioning.

Depends? Deep cleanings are usually done as needed- typically 1-2 times a year. (Commercially, carpeting is done every few months in high traffic, 6 months in low traffic,)
Every household is different.
