One of the easiest and mot effective things you can do to keep your carpet clean and looking good is regular vacuuming. This is very important even for your health as your carpeting is basically one big air filter that traps all kinds of dirt and allergens in the carpet fibers that can cause respiratory issues. According to this article from Men’s Health: “your carpet probably contains about 200,000 bacteria per square inch, making it 4,000 times dirtier than your toilet seat. “Rugs are botanical and zoological parks,” says Tierno, who says hundreds of thousands of different types of species live there. These invasions occur because the average person sheds about 1.5 million skin cells every hour; these skin cells hit the rug and serve as food for germs.” Obviously regular vacuuming is crucial for removing contaminants. But how often do you really need to vacuum? The honest real answer to how often is often enough to vacuum is: everyday would be too often. You are surely thinking no one has time to do that everyday, and that is very true. So to get the most out of your most likely once a week vacuuming, go slow, realize the time you are pulling the vacuum back is when you are do the majority of the cleaning so really take your time especially right in front of your sofa(s), hallways and the transitions from hard surfaces to carpet. Here are a few tips from The Carpet and Rug Institiute:
