How often do you clean your carpets?
Either shampoo rental machines or professionals coming to your house?

Re: How often do you clean your carpets?
Where's the option for "Never, we just live with dirty carpets"? 
I just use Resolve and spot-clean when I see a dirty spot.

Re: How often do you clean your carpets?
Our upper level, bedroom carpets -- never. We don't have pets, and they don't really seem to require it.
Our lower level den, however, is a high traffic area, with an entrance to the garage and the back patio. And the carpet in that room is a lighter shade. We steam clean it (we own a machine) probably quarterly, and it looks SO much cleaner when we are done. And when I say "we," I mean DH.

Usually around quarterly, although it's not on a schedule. Having the machine in the house makes it easier. When we still had our dog, we did it a lot more often.

Re: How often do you clean your carpets?
We've been here for about a month and have already done it 3 times on the lower level. They were nasty. Owner had a dog and the whole LR reeks of dog.
Since we are just renting right now, we have to deal otherwise I'd have ripped it all out. So, I went out and bought a machine for about 135 and it's been the best investment ever. Thing really does do a great job!
I have bad allergies, I vacuum 2x/wk at a minimum, I imagine doing the carpets quarterly at a minimum.

Re: How often do you clean your carpets?
Umm... once when we moved in... Its now 2 yrs later... lol We're getting new carpet next month though... Could never seem to get them as clean as I would have liked and with baby coming, I feel more at ease if she is crawling around on a clean carpet
