Most new carpets are protected at the factory, but depending on the activity and traffic in your home; some of these protectors can wear down. By reapplying a stain protector after cleaning, you can spot clean your carpets easier in case you experience any accidental spills or stains.
Besides the normal traffic in your home, there are a few other events that could lead to the carpets becoming extremely soiled. For example if you do any internal improvements or construction to your home, the dust from sheetrock, dried paint, concrete or mud from outside can find its way deep into the carpets that regular vacuuming wont reach. A professional carpet cleaner can evaluate the situation and treat your carpet accordingly. By adding this professional touch, you can be sure that your carpeting will turn out as clean as possible.

However, proper cleaning with the aid of a professional cleaner and quality cleaning products along with moisture control can ensure suppression of bacterial and fungal growth.
In order to extend the life of our carpets there are a few minor things that should be done regularly. Carpets should be vacuumed at least twice a week. Most soil and surface dust can be removed simply by vacuuming which will reduce the wear of the carpet. Soil and dust act like sharp particles that can affect the fibers and change the appearance of the carpet. By following a regular routine of vacuuming, you keep the day-to-day grime from becoming embedded in the carpet fibers. Vacuuming helps keep the carpet looking groomed in between professional cleanings. Also, by Scotchgarding your carpets you will be able to remove up to 40% more dirt when you vacumn not to mention the protection agaist a variety of accidents.
Professionally cleaning your carpet will help to ensure that the only reason you decide to replace it is because you aren't in love with the color anymore!
