Maintain your carpets appearance by vacuuming.

The simplest and most important job is regular vacuuming. This should be done with a good quality vacuum cleaner once or twice a week depending the level of traffic the carpet experiences. In less frequently used rooms once every two weeks may be enough. It is important to brush or vacuum up any small patches of visible dirt (soil) from earth or food etc. as soon they occur to avoid it being treaded into the carpet. The small hand held vacuums are useful tool for this job, but a dustpan and brush is better than nothing.

Following a few basic guidelines will ensure you get the most out of your vacuum cleaner. Before you begin vacuuming you should check that the area is clear of any objects that could clog or damage the vacuum cleaner. Check that the bag or container does not need to be emptied. Vacuums with brushes work best going forward so that the brushes can loosen the dirt from the carpet prior to it being sucked up. Work in a methodical pattern with slightly overlapping strokes to ensure that the entire carpet is covered. Use the attachment tools to reach into corners and under furniture to remove the last of the dust and dirt.

Not all Vacuum cleaners are equal. The purpose of vacuuming is to remove solid soil. A good vacuum cleaner will have a mechanism designed to loosen dirt from the fibres of the carpet so that they can be sucked up into the cleaner. Cyclone vacuums have the advantage of needing to be emptied less frequently whilst still maintaining excellent performance. The most important thing to consider when buying a vacuum however is usability there is no point buying an all singing all dancing machine, if the very idea of lugging it around puts you off vacuuming on a regular basis.
