The frequency at which you need carpet and upholstery cleaning services and the actual cleaning methods that should be used depends on the nature of the carpeting and how much traffic your carpets endure.

Having children and pets in the house increases the cleaning frequency substantially because your carpet is more likely to have stains and smells with them around (the pets, not the children).

You also have to take into account if there are any people that suffer from allergies in your home. Dirty carpets can aggravate breathing problems and skin allergies for people prone to developing them.
