Frequent vacuuming of your carpets can not take the place of hiring a professional cleaning service. Sweeping or vacuuming of your carpets can not only damage the carpet fibers, but can release hazardous debris like dust, mites, and harmful organisms into the air you breathe. The only way to make sure your carpets are clean is by hiring a professional service.
Carpets suffer more than wear and tear
Every time you walk on your carpet, you tend to push down the dirt and bacteria literally trapping it deep in the fibers of your carpet. The average 3 bedroom home accumulates up to 30 pounds of dirt, and filth in a year. Your vacuum cleaner pick up the surface dirt and dust, but it cannot clean the things that are lurking below.

The solution to your problem
The only way to be sure of having truly clean and hygienic carpets is to enlist the services of a professional carpet cleaning service. Finding a reliable and trustworthy service is as easy checking references. Friends and family may recommend someone they use. The BBB and servicemen websites can also help.
They most reliable tip is to look for the IICRC (Institute of Inspection, Cleaning, and Restoration Certification) LOGO displayed along with their name. This assures you that they have earned this certification by meeting a rigorous list of standards in both business and ethics expertise. This is a symbol of technical proficiency that distinguishes IICRC technicians from the rest.
