The most important thing to know before cleaning your carpet is the type of carpet that you have. 

Although equally effective,Proper Way of Using Vacuum for Best Carpet Cleaning Result Articles other methods are time consuming, and can cause potentially more damage if done incorrectly. For example, using detergents on carpets are highly effective, but they need to washed off completely. Leaving any particles on the carpet will act like magnets for more dust and bacteria

Also, other cleaning products can pose health hazards. Certain chemicals are bad for inhalation or skin exposure, which is why if such scenarios arise, it would be best to let professionals handle the situation.

Do a walk-through of your carpeted areas picking up clutter and any large pieces of debris that your vacuum cannot suck up such as leaves from shedding house plants, small toys, paper clips, anything that is obvious.

At the end of the day, it is best to establish and maintain a regular cleaning schedule for your carpet. Cleaning it daily is best in maintaining the quality of your carpet and prolonging its useful life. Making it part of one's daily routine will continually eliminate dust and soil build up. On the other hand, cleaning it once a week or such will allow for dust and dirt to accumulate and get embedded in the carpet, making vacuuming harder.

*While vacuuming, make sure to use different cleaning heads for different areas on the carpet—wide heads for wide spaces, and more specialized ones for corners and areas with furniture.

*Vacuum with light, repeated strokes to get rid of dust and dirt deeply embedded in your carpet.

*Also, in maintaining and prolonging your carpet's useful life, maintain a regular cleaning schedule depending on how busy and populated your house is. It would be best to clean it about five to four times a week to not allow dirt and dust to build up, clog, and harden carpet fibers.

*Remember that vacuuming is not the only way to clean your carpet. It is an effective first step, but never limit yourself to it. When dealing with liquids and animal waste, vacuuming will take away dry particles, but it will leave behind bacteria and smaller particles in the carpet fibers and mat. In such cases, cleaning with hot water, detergents, or even calling for professional help would be viable options for your carpet's maintenance and care.
