How often should you vacuum clean your carpet?
Vacuuming your carpet entryways on a daily basis is recommended to remove soil from the carpet pile as this is where dirt is first deposited. This stops dry soil and debris in high traffic areas from damaging your carpet over time. Cleaning this part of your carpet helps stop the dirt from spreading to other areas. As modern carpets are designed to reflect light and resist stains this can make soil harder to see. This means regular vacuuming cleaning is important even if the carpet does not appear to be dirty.
If daily vacuuming is not realistic, then vacuuming entryways at least twice a week is advisable. Regular vacuuming also cuts down on indoor air pollution by ridding the room of dirt particles before they become airborne. This is particularly important if anyone in the home is allergenic. Dust mites dead body parts and droppings are cleared by vacuuming, reducing allergy problems.
Using slow steady strokes is advisable when vacuum cleaning a carpet. Pulling the vacuum cleaner against the grain of the carpet stands fibres up and exposes embedded soil. You should repeat several times over each area, with each stroke removing more particles. Making all the final strokes in the same direction leaves a uniform appearance. Having rotary brushes on your vacuum cleaner helps loosen soil on your carpet.
