Guideline for cleaning frequencies
The IICRC* has stated in the Standard for Carpet Cleaning that "Consumers must not wait until carpet looks soiled
before cleaning. Experts agree that clean carpet contributes not only to the overall aesthetics of a structure, but
plays a significant role in the healthful state of the overall environment in which people spend the majority of their
time."
The United States EPA in a letter dated January, 1989 (referenced in the IICRC Carpet Cleaning Standard*)
included the following information to serve as a guideline for cleaning frequencies for carpet from a health
perspective.
