3. The proper use of the entrance to your home will help.  Try to have people take their shoes off at the door and this will keep most of the tracked soils off the surface of the carpet.  Interestingly enough, dirty bare feet are actually clean carpets worst enemy!  Oils from your feet can set dirt into the carpet and make carpet cleaning a lot harder.  You should always use entrance mats outside of your doors and make sure that anyone who enters your home use the mats to help get debris and dirt off of their shoes before they enter. You can also take off your shoes and request that guests do the same, prior to entering your home.

   Around 80% of the soils that enter a building or home are dry. The remaining 20% are greases, oils, and starches, often from bare feet! The dry soil types are easily removed by vacuuming. A professional carpet steam cleaning will get deep seated dirt right out even when your vacuum won’t.
