To keep your carpet and rugs in good condition, dirt and soil needs to be removed on a regular basis. A good vacuum is a smart investment. The newer ones with HEPA filters tend to remove more pet hair and dirt and are often recommended for people with asthma and allergies.


After vacuuming, you may want to use a dry deep cleaning product to get stubborn dirt and stains out of the carpet. Spot clean with sprays. These products don't need additional water, but they aren't totally dry, either. You spray the product on the spot, and rub in with a stiff brush. After waiting several minutes, the product is vacuumed up.


Other dry carpet cleaning products include granules, which are spread across the entire carpet. They grab onto dirt deep into the carpet and dissolve dirt and soil. The granules are then vacuumed up.


Appliances exist which aid in the process. They use brushes to work the chemicals into the carpet, and also fluff up the matted down carpet. The vacuum finishes the job. These appliances can usually be purchased at stores that sell vacuums or rented at stores that rent large equipment.

Odor removing powders are lightly sprinkled onto the carpet, then vacuumed up. These products can be used each time you vacuum. They are only for odor removing and they will not keep the carpet clean.
