How often should vacuuming be done?
The frequency of vacuuming is determined by the amount of wear your carpet gets. Areas can be classified into heavy and light traffic. This is based on the amount of “use” your carpet gets in these areas.For heavy traffic areas, vacuum the “traffic lanes” daily and the entire area twice weekly. In less traveled areas, vacuum the carpet lanes twice weekly and the entire area once a week.Dirt and debris need to be removed to keep the carpet looking its best longer. Walking on dirty carpet allows the soil particles to work their way down into the carpet fibers, making it more difficult to remove and leading to possible damage. By vacuuming regularly, you will remove these particles from the surface before they can get to the fibers and create a problem.To get the best possible results, be sure to vacuum the area slowly and go from side to side. Occasionally change your vacuuming direction to help stand the pile upright and reduce matting.
