There are actually several different factors to consider when you are trying to figure out how often to clean your home. First of all, consider the number of people in your home. If there are only a couple people in the home, you can wait longer between cleaners. However, a home that has four or more people should be cleaned at least twice a year.

If you smoke, you’ll want to have your carpets cleaned more often. Usually it’s best to clean it about every four months or so in this case. Another factor is whether or not you have small children. If you do, you probably have spills on a regular basis, this could mean you need to clean more often than every six months. Pets are a factor to consider too. With pets, you’ll want to do the home at least twice or more each year, and if you have pets and some little kids, every 3-4 months is probably a good idea.

Of course, these ideas aren’t always absolute. If you start to notice that there are dark areas on the carpet at any point in time, it’s a good idea to call the cleaners to have the carpets taken care of. If you wait too long, you’ll do more damage to the carpets, so you shouldn’t wait if your carpets look very soiled and dark.
