During this unprecedented situation, with whole families restricted to their homes, the CDC is suggesting more frequent cleaning.

The CDC recommends using appropriate cleaners for soft porous surfaces. Using a Hoover® solution and a carpet cleaner with fast-drying capability will allow you to extract dirt and germs from below the surface without restricting your family and pets from rooms for hours at a time while your carpets dry.
