The Best Times of Year to Get Your Carpets Cleaned (And Why It Matters)

Carpet cleaning is one of those things we tend to put off… until there’s a stain we can’t ignore. But waiting until your carpet looks dirty means it’s already holding onto months (or years) of trapped dust, allergens, and odor. At Reform Carpet Cleaning, we recommend cleaning your carpets proactively not reactively. And when it comes to timing? Some seasons are better than others.

🗓️1: When Should You Clean Your Carpets?

We get this question all the time from Denver homeowners. The answer depends on a few things:

  • Do you have kids or pets?

  • Do you have allergy sensitivities?

  • Do you host guests often?

  • Do you live in a high-pollen or high-dust area?

But even without all those variables, we generally recommend:
🧼 Twice a year for most homes
🐾 Every 3–6 months if you have pets or heavy traffic

🌸2: Why Spring Cleaning Isn’t Just a Trend

Spring is the perfect time to deep clean your carpets. Why?

  • You’re clearing out pollen, dander, and dust that built up during winter

  • Your windows will finally be open allowing better airflow and drying

  • It freshens your home right before summer activities and hosting

Think of it as hitting the reset button on your home’s air quality.

🍁3: Why Fall Cleaning Is Just as Important

Fall often gets overlooked but here’s why we love it for carpet cleaning:

  • You’re about to spend more time indoors

  • Cold air traps allergens and bacteria inside your home

  • Snow and mud are on the way — clean now before the mess piles up

  • It’s the perfect prep for holiday guests or real estate showings

Pro tip: Clean your carpets before the holidays, not after.

✅4: Other Times to Consider Carpet Cleaning

  • Before moving in or out of a home

  • After construction or remodeling

  • After pet accidents or flooding

  • Before a baby starts crawling

Even one deep cleaning at the right time can extend the life of your carpets and improve your indoor air quality.
