Provided it is done with a vacuum in great shape and done correctly, the answer is 80% of all dry dirt (excludes the oily dirt). What is done correctly, you ask? In the open areas, 5 forward passes and a returning 5 backward passes each taking 5 seconds per forward pass and 5 seconds each backward pass to complete at the very minimum. These areas require a daily vacuuming regiment. Areas covered with furniture or in closets are to be vacuumed with 3 forward passes and a complimentary 3 backward passes, each taking 5 seconds and these need to be vacuumed once per week. That is the very minimal treatment for your carpet.

Everyone has an excuse that sounds good to them for why they can't do this much labor around the house. It all boils down to living life as a responsible adult.

Why Do We Clean Our Carpets?

It is a hard job keeping carpets and rugs looking clean and new. Often we spend an hour with the vacuum cleaner and as soon as we have done the carpets look unclean again. A weekly run over with a vacuum cleaner might be enough to get dirt from the surface but it hardly ever removes the deep stains which get way down into the carpets fibers. It is this dirt which causes carpet to age quickly and looks shabby.Carpets need to be well cared for, think about how much utilize they get. High traffic areas have to stand up to daily, even hourly use. If a carpet is well maintained it can add value to our residence, not to mention it adds to your home's aesthetic appeal. Vacuuming your carpet appropriately, with a regular commercial cleaning adds years to a carpets life
