Maintenance
Vacuuming is the most effective way to routinely clean carpet and vacuuming removes over 90% of the dirt from carpet if a proper routine schedule is followed. As a result of the relatively easy maintenance of carpeting, it is about 65% less expensive to maintain and clean than hard floors such as wood flooring over its life according to this 2002 study by the Institute of Inspection, Cleaning and Restoration Certification, Vancouver, WA.
