The short answer to the titled question is yes. Better yet, if your area rug is in a high trafficking area, it’s highly recommended that you get it professionally cleaned at least once a year. The methods are much more accurate than any technique you can perform at home, including but not limited to hot-water extraction, stain protection treatment, and dry-cleaning.
Which brings us to our next question, why would you want an area rug professionally cleaned?
Prolong Life
Vacuuming an area rug weekly can keep it well maintained, but that’s not the only trick to get the job done. Professionally cleaning an area rug can remove all dirt, debris, and stains that you may miss or can’t get out. It’ll also restore the fibers to as new as can be, ensuring long lasting comfort every time you walk on it.
Maintenance of Rich Colors
If you prefer DIY rug cleaning, think again. Using harsh and harmful agents to remove stains may not be the best idea, especially if you don’t have a professional background. Chemical residue build up can actually make colors bleed and there’s no way to stop that once it starts.
Better Home Hygiene
If you think about it, dirt can lead to bacterial growth deep within the roots of a rug. It’s hard to tell, but small food particles can easily get stuck in the rug fibers. From there, a number of problems can arise, including but not limited to intense allergies all year round. You don’t want to impact the air quality like that, so getting a pro to fix the situation is your best bet.
Refreshing
The most obvious reason to get your area rug professionally cleaned is to simply refresh it. Older rugs can start to look dull and lose their softness after a few years. If you have a service that cleans them regularly (at minimum once per year), you’ll get your money’s worth and you’ll refurbish it to be as good as new.
Professional Cleaning is Affordable
Most people don’t take note of this, but professionally cleaning your area rug is not some extraordinary expense; it’s quite affordable. Much more affordable when compared to purchasing a brand new rug every few years.
Think of a rug as an investment. You wouldn’t want to purchase brand new furniture just to let it get dinged up and worn down, would you? Of course, time will take its toll. Decades down the road, you won’t have the same brand new furniture or rug you once had. But, if you keep it in good condition with regular cleanings, there’s no reason your area rug shouldn’t last you until the kids grow up and go off to college, at least.
