Why cleaning frequency matters
Carpets act like giant air filters — they trap dust, pollen, pet dander and micro-grit that gets tracked in from Kiwi backyards. Left unattended, that debris cuts fibres like sandpaper and shortens carpet life by years.
A realistic schedule
Not every household needs the same routine. Use this as a baseline and adjust for pets, kids or allergies:
- Single adult, no pets: professional clean every 18 months
- Family of four: every 12 months
- Pets or asthma sufferers: every 6–9 months
- Rental turnover: always before handover
Signs it's time — even if the calendar disagrees
Matted traffic lanes, a lingering musty smell after rain, or visible darkening around doorways are all cues to bring the truck-mount out early.
The DIY vs pro trade-off
Supermarket rental machines apply water but rarely enough heat or extraction to lift embedded soil. A professional hot-water extraction reaches 90°C+ and removes 3–4× more residue.
