Title: How often do you........???
Post by: daysdeepclean on May 24, 2009, 07:24:12 pm: We moved into a brand new house over Christmas and I am noticing that our 80/20 is starting to look a bit grubby at the foot area of the sofa.... We have banned shoes, dogs, cats and bare feet but I'm itching to clean the carpets....

In our old house with dogs running riot, shoes on and food everywhere and the main door leading out to the main street, I was cleaning my carpets every 6 weeks.... and they needed it!

How often do you clean your carpets... and upholstery??

Safe and happy cleaning :)

Seriously, carpets (beige, 2 dogs and dirty me) yearly, suites leather so a quick wipe with a damp cloth. :-X

I probably do them every 3-4 month

my suites are both leather so they get cleaning whenever I'm bored or the wife wants me to do something i don't want to, "sorry can't do it I'm cleaning the suite"

Post by: Shaun_Ashmore on May 24, 2009, 10:02:16 pm: I clean mine about every 3-4 months, it's a bit of a chore as I have to clean the kids bedroom and they are usually a tip and you are looking at 4 hours to go all through but I usually do it all in one go as I don't feel like doing 1 room at a time, I have an aniline suite so that gets cleaned and colour balmed and that's another time consuming job, I clean and protect it every 3-4 months and a balm once a year ish, we live in an older house and you tend to get a more dusty feel to it, before we lived in a new build and that kept clean far easier.
