To keep your carpets clean, you want a vacuum that has powerful suction plus a variety of attachments to remove dirt and hair from deep within the pile, as well as from corners and tight spaces.
As for how often you should vacuum, Robin Murphy, founder of ChirpChirp Residential Cleaning Services, says, “In areas with heavy foot traffic, vacuuming should be done at least twice a week…However, plush carpets trap more dirt and debris than low-pile carpets and may require more frequent vacuuming.”
