Naturally, heavy traffic areas require more attention to remove dirt particles. These areas should be vacuumed at least once a day, as should primary and secondary traffic lanes. Medium traffic areas should be attended to at least twice a week. Light traffic areas and the rest of the carpet should be thoroughly vacuumed at least once a week.

Even though time consuming, regular vacuuming is very cost effective and can remove up to 80% of surface dirt.

A vacuum cleaner with a motor driven brush and beater bar does the best job of cleaning. The beater bar loosens the compacted dirt making it easier for the brush and vacuum effect to remove the particles.

Operate the machine slowly back and forth and let it do the work. Don’t hurry – this is another false economy.
