Regardless of the fiber used, proper care of carpeting requires regular cleaning, the best form of preventive maintenance. Invisible dirt particles on the surface - not foot traffic - do the damage that wears out carpeting. Grit that’s not removed chews into the fabric as the carpet is walked on.

Normally vacuuming carpeting once or twice a week should be sufficient for removing dirt. The vacuuming should be done whether the surface looks dirty or not. Always use a vacuum cleaner that’s in good condition ; one with a vibrating beater bar is considered best for all-round use.
