Regular professional carpet cleanings can help prolong the life of your carpet and keep it looking great. While frequent vacuuming can help alleviate some of the build-up caused by pet dander, soil particles and dust mites, we recommend having your carpets cleaned professionally once per year. Otherwise, trapped particles can wear down the carpet fibers and make them look dingy. At A.J. Rose Carpets & Flooring, a Boston carpet cleaning and retail store, we use the hot-water extraction method preferred by leading carpet manufacturers such as Mohawk, Karastan, Shaw and more.
