Your home is your family’s haven and sanctuary from the rest of the world. Unfortunately, we tend to carry a lot of dirt from outside in with us.

Even when shoes come off at the door there are a million ways that our floors and carpets get covered in filth and germs.

Ultimately, you’d like your floors to always be clean enough to eat off of, cause we all know that’s where the 5-second rule for any food dropped is pushed to the limit.

If you’re wondering “How often should I deep clean my tile and carpet floors?”

Keep reading as we give you all the dirt on the best way to keep your family healthy and happy with the best way to deep clean tile floors and carpets in your home.

I Mop My Tile So They’re Clean. Right?

If you think a quick sweep and mop will do the trick you may be fooling yourself. While you’ve gotten up all the surface dirt, there could be lots of germs and bacteria that aren’t always visible to the naked eye.

Any germs or bacteria are just waiting to grab onto a baby’s hands as they play or that rice Krispie square your teenager dropped and then ate right before supper.

You may think it’s fine because you mopped earlier.

How Clean is Your Mop Really?

If you let your mop air dry you could actually be making your floors worse by using it again to mop the floor. The bacteria and germs that grow as it sits wet after use will multiply rapidly and rather than cleaning the floor you are basically painting bacteria onto it.

You may have just mopped this morning with a brand new mop but every germ or unsanitary thing that enters your house will be working its way towards the floor thanks to gravity.

A study of cleaning equipment such as rags and mops in hospitals found that even chemical disinfectants couldn’t completely sanitize previously wet mops.

So How Do I Clean My Tile?

There are some things you can do to keep your family and home healthier and cleaner.

You’ll want to get your tile professionally cleaned so that any dirt, stains, discoloration, and germs are removed.

The best way to do this is to hire a specialist that does carpets and flooring with a deep steam cleaner.

You don’t want harsh chemicals or cleaners so be sure that the company only uses materials, cleaners, and procedures that will be safe for your family and pets.

Don’t Forget Your Carpets

You may have the greatest vacuum in the world but the truth is there is no vacuum that compares to the cleaning power of deep steam cleaning.

The best way to keep your family and home healthy is to regularly have a professional deep cleaning of your tiles and floors regularly.

How Often Should I Clean My Tile and Carpet Flooring?

While the floor traffic and circumstances in every home is different most people should consider getting all their floors and carpets professionally steam cleaned every six months.

Homes that have small children who spend a lot of time on the floor or have pets that shed a great deal of hair and track in more germs and dirt you may want to consider as often as every six to eight weeks.
