How Often Should You Really Steam Clean Your Carpets in High-Pollen Areas?

Carpets act like giant air filters in your home, trapping airborne pollen, traffic exhaust soot, and outdoor pollen blown in from the Cambridgeshire countryside.

Recommended Carpet Extraction Frequency: - **Low-traffic adult households:** Every 12 months - **Homes with dogs or cats:** Every 6 months - **High-traffic family homes or student lets:** Every 3 to 6 months - **End of tenancy checkouts:** Mandatory for full deposit return

The Hot Water Extraction Advantage Unlike DIY shampooers that leave soapy residues that attract dirt faster, professional hot water extraction injects 60°C pressurised solution deep into the backing and instantly vacuums it out, removing 98% of deep bacteria and allergens.
