DALTON, Ga.--According to the Carpet and Rug Institute (CRI), properly vacuuming carpet is the easiest and most effective way to keep your carpet clean.
The CRI recommends vacuuming areas often that receive the most traffic, such as hallways, stairs and exterior entryways. Ideally, vacuum all the floor coverings a minimum of once a week, and the high-traffic areas more often, based on the usage.
