Use walk-off mats at all entrances to prevent outside dirt from tracking onto your house. Mats can be placed at the main entrance, the kitchen, the backyard and the balconies. Protect your carpets from humidity, soot, grease, damage, and above all, do no allow dirt build-up. Periodic relocation of furniture, if possible, will allow for a more even distribution of foot traffic on carpets and lanes.

2. Vacuum regularly

The frequency of vacuum cleaning will depend on the amount of foot traffic and household soil your carpet is exposed to. Use your vacuum cleaner as many times as you want since it does not damage the carpet. On the contrary, it is very advantageous. Most dirt and dust are usually abrasive due to their sandy particle content, and they reduce the life of your carpet. No one like you to know when, where and how often to vacuum. Never stop vacuumming! The best way to remove embedded dirt is to vacuum slowly in both directions with a slow lateral movement. All vacuum cleaners vacuum dirt, but not all of them “remove it”. The most recommended ones are vertical vacuums with a beater/brush bar, propelled by the same motor, such as Hoover’s, Yelmo’s, Eureka’s, Singer’s, and also called “carpet sweepers”. If you choose one of them, make sure that the brushes, and the belt are in good condition. Also, keep the bag empty. Pay careful attention to the manufacturer’s instructions.
