Q: Should I avoid cleaning my carpet?

Q: How often should I clean or shampoo my carpet?
A: Carpet cleaning should be done every 12–18 months, or more frequently in high-traffic areas. Always follow the manufacturer’s cleaning guidelines. Your Lowe’s Flooring Specialist can help you identify the best cleaning method for your specific carpet type.
Q: Will steam cleaning cause mold in my carpet?
A: Not if done correctly. Mold only becomes a risk if the carpet stays wet for too long. Professionally steam-cleaned carpets should dry within 12 hours. Proper extraction and drying techniques prevent mold growth.

A: Yes, but be cautious. If you rent a carpet cleaner, follow the instructions carefully to avoid over-wetting. Ensure the carpet dries completely within 12 hours to prevent mold or mildew.
