Carpet cleaning tips from TLC start with vacuuming as an essential maintenance step. Carpets should be vacuumed once each week and more frequently in high traffic areas.
This will prolong the life of your carpets by preventing dirt buildup, and you should also use a crevice tool every few weeks to clean baseboards, radiators and similar places. Dividing the floor into quadrants and vacuuming each quadrant is a good way to vacuum wall to wall carpeting and ensure that you don't miss any spots. When you vacuum a carpet, and especially plush carpets where dirt is more likely to get embedded, you should take your time and run several passes over each area. When you go slowly and make several passes you ensure that the the suction from the vacuum will remove the deeply embedded dirt and grime.
