How often should I vacuum?

Mostly people prefer to run the vacuum regularly to keep the home feeling fresh and clean.  Although regular vacuuming is the easiest way to keep your carpet clean it some cases it can actually cause damage to carpet fibers. But the question is “How often should you clean your floors?” 

Of course, it depends on your household traffic. 

Its recommended that you should vacuum at least once a week with a quality vacuum cleaner. However, if you have more foot traffic over your carpet, you will need to vacuum more often. 

1. Vacuum daily in high-traffic or pet areas

High-traffic areas should be vacuumed every day if possible. To keep your carpet free from dust and dirt and prolong the life of your carpets, try to vacuum every few days with a slow and steady motion.

2. Vacuum twice a week in medium-traffic areas

Medium-traffic areas which don’t have as much traffic use as hallways and entryways like bedrooms, living rooms should be vacuumed weekly. However, if these rooms are used frequently then consider vacuuming daily.

3. Vacuum weekly in light-traffic areas 

Light traffic areas include meeting rooms or empty rooms. These areas need only be vacuumed once a week.

Every carpet is different, so be sure to review the amount of traffic that your carpet receives before deciding what frequency of vacuuming is required. Your carpets and rugs last longer when they are well-maintained, eliminating constant and costly replacements.
