Keeping your home carpet clean and dirt free is a big responsibility, especially if you have children. You can't take the carpet outside for a thorough clean, unless you laid carpet tiles. You need a safe straightforward way to clean the carpet inside your home or office space. This could be done by hand, or choose from one of the wide range of specialist machines available to clean your carpet. The most well known would be the upright vacuum cleaner which has been around for over 100 years. Most households use an upright vacuum cleaner, as they are very simple to use. They will eliminate most of the dirt. For stubborn stains spotters are sometimes used as an effective method. They use rotating brushes to clean deep into the carpet. Just bear in mind, the fabric used to make the carpet you are cleaning may be delicate, so you should refer to manufactures instructions for guidance before usage.
One other type of carpet cleaning machine called a "carpet cleaning extractor" is good cleaning deep into the carpet. It works by spraying a chemical into the carpet. As you roll the machine, the rotating brushed will go over the damp part, to scrub the carpet, followed by a vacuum on the rear end, to suck up the liquid containing the dirt and chemical.
Many people use steam cleaners for deep cleaning. These are effective and more natural, without the use of chemicals. The hot steam loosens the dirt within the fibres.

It's not just about the removal of dirt, but also keeping it as new the prolonging the life of the carpet. Once machined, let the carpet dry then vacuum. Then a simple run over with the vacuum every 2 days is more than sufficient.
