Most people who have newly installed carpets in their home will now be thinking about how to maintain them. Fortunately, there are a number of tips that can help to maintain the carpet for a long time.

One of the simplest and most obvious ways to maintain the carpet is to clean it regularly. You may use a vacuum cleaner, such as the vax carpet cleaner, to vacuum the carpet at least once a week. Some people even like to vacuum the carpet more than once in a week. Regular vacuuming helps to prevent the build up of dust and dirt, and it's important to also clean under furniture which is often neglected.

Another simple method to maintain your clean carpet is to instigate a "No Shoes Rule" in your household. All your family members and any guests must take off their shoes before they come into your home and step on your carpet. This may seem like a strict rule for some, but many people who have started this rule have benefited. Shoes often gather dirt and mud from the outside, especially during rainy days, and the "No Shoes Rule" will ensure your carpets remain cleaner for longer.
