Living in a place with carpeted floors for the first time. What kind of cleaning routine should I have to keep the carpet clean?

    Our house is a high traffic house where we have lots of visitors as well as 3 dogs so my schedule is going to reflect that.

    • Vacuum twice weekly. On Monday with a robot vacuum, then on Wednesday with a Dyson for a deeper clean.
    • Spot shampoo when there are accidents.
    • Shampoo all carpets once every 3 months.
    • Have carpets professionally cleaned once a year in the spring.

    Ultimately the problem is how dirt enters your home. Our house would be a million times cleaner if we didn’t have dogs. They track in dirt and it is just a pain to control.

        It does work but we still use a small spot carpet cleaner right away. This helps to keep things from getting bad. Our dogs rarely have accidents in the house (it’s been over a year since the last one) but they seem to find other ways to make a mess.

      Yup my doggo tracks in so much dirt, but I wipe her paws when she comes in so it doesn’t end up in the rest of the house.
