“The most important thing to do is vacuum as often as possible, at least twice a week. This will prevent dry soil from really wearing down your carpet prematurely. Use clean walk off mats at all entry’s. Keep your area rugs and hard surfaces clean as they can be a source of dirt for your clean carpet. Try to not wear shoes, especially outdoor footwear on the carpet as this brings in all the contaminants from outside like asphalt sealant, oils, dirt and bacteria, etc.. Wear white socks or go bare feet instead. If you must clean a spot use as little spotter as possible applied to a white terry cloth towel(not directly to the carpet) then slowly work from outside in on your stain. Once gone, dampen clean area on towel with warm water and try to wipe (rinse) the spotter out of the spotted area to rid the carpet of residue so not to attract dirt a short time later. Stay off spotted area till dry.

Never try to clean your carpets with plug in the wall store bought or rented portable equipment. These machines are very weak and leave so much cleaning residue that your carpets will be dirtier in a few weeks then what you started with. Also the cannot dry carpets properly so that also is very damaging for your carpets. The worst carpets we see are do it yourself and dry cleaned carpets as both leave a lot of residue which attract dirt extremely fast.
