Is Carpet Cleaning Worth the Money?

Professional cleaning makes the most sense when carpet needs periodic deep cleaning, significant soil removal or knowledgeable stain treatment beyond routine vacuuming. The Carpet and Rug Institute (CRI) recommends professional deep cleaning every 12 to 18 months, subject to the carpet manufacturer's requirements.
