One of my friend told me not to clean and other said to clean I'm confused about that. Again now-a-days it is providing dust more than its own service.
So, I need a helpful, experimented and experienced suggestion.

I vacuum my carpet in every month... But still don't know why its bothering me... Sometimes it seems too much dust and dust mites like making suffocation... And heaven knows what else hiding in there.
So, I need a helpful, experienced and experimented suggestion.

I purchase a carpet recently near about 1 month form someday … Now, I am a bit confused that should I clean the carpet or not. If I do then what would be the method!

I want to know about the difference of cleaning carpets in hot and cold water. Which system will be preferable? Please provide me a suggestion about this …

What is the helpful, merits and demerits of cleaning carpets in dry method !
Help please.

You ONLY ever get 80% of what you put into a carpet out of it. So I never use the 'dry/powder' method. It builds up at the base.

Commercial carpets are recommended to be cleaned ever three months due to the traffic and the weather. For your home you can rent a hot water extractor system to clean your carpets (wall to wall) after you pre-spot the spots and stains. Usually stains are very hard to remove, spots come out. If you know what the spot is then purchase something that is made for those spots to pre-spot.. Never rub to try to clean spots that only ingrains the spot material into the knap of the carpet. Blot it with a clean white cloth several times, again resist the temptation to rub, makes it worse.

The next time that you want to clean your carpet you should be able to clean the 'traffic areas' only. This is where the traffic lanes are in your home. Then the following time wall to wall again. Carpets gather a lot of things, dirt, bugs, viruses, etc, even though they appear to be clean, they need a through cleaning on a regular basis. It also extends the 'life' of the carpet/s.

Again I recommend the hot water extraction method we have tried them all over he last twenty years and this is the best.
