Don’t rely solely on robot vacuums or cordless stick vacuums. They lack the suction and power to ferret out dust, debris, and pollutants deep within your carpet.
While you’re cleaning, avoid soaking the carpet in liquid. Doing this can make stains spread, and it can cause moisture to seep underneath your carpet, potentially damaging your floors or causing mold or mildew to develop.
Steer clear of steam cleaners. They’re poor cleaners, and they can harm fabric and fibers.
