How Often Should You Clean Your Area Rugs?

Area rugs add warmth, color, and comfort to your home, but they also work hard every day. They collect dust, dirt, pet dander, and even allergens that can impact your home’s air quality. Regular cleaning doesn’t just keep your rugs looking good—it also helps them last longer and keeps your living spaces healthier.

General Guidelines for Cleaning Area Rugs

How often you should clean your area rugs depends on a few factors, including where the rug is located and your household’s activity level. Here’s a quick guide:

• Lightly used rugs (low-traffic areas): Vacuum weekly and schedule a professional cleaning every 12-18 months.
• Moderately used rugs (living rooms, dining areas): Vacuum weekly and professionally clean every 6-12 months.\
• Heavily used rugs (entryways, playrooms, homes with pets or kids): Vacuum 2-3 times a week and schedule professional cleaning every 3-6 months.

If you’ve got pets or someone in your household has allergies, you may want to clean your rugs even more frequently to keep allergens at bay.
