How often should I shampoo my rugs?
Can you answer _nicole_'s question about rugs?:
I just moved and I have beautiful new carpeting. I already make people leave their shoes at the door. I also heard too much shampooing attracts more dirt. How often should I shampoo my rugs?
Thanks all so much for your input. There are no best answers as they all are good. I do keep socks on and will encourage guests to do the same. I will vacuum daily, and give it a good shampooing every year. Thanks all so much!

if you make people remove thier shoes like we did in Hawaii and you vacuum daily and I mean daily no need to shampoo ,the carpet has protection from stains that can be removed in the shampooing process
personally I would not have carpet as it is nasty stuff ,dirt ,allergens etc but if you follow the program you are on it should be fine
removing shoes at the door is ancient Japanese custom
It just depends on how much company you have. I'm sure everyone who walks in your door won't remove their shoes. I bought a carpet shampooer and use it about every 3 months or so. BUT…………….I have alot of people in my house!
As long as they wear socks, you should be good shampooing once a year or so, but if you allow barefoot, the carpet people told me that the oil from your skin will make the dirt stick more to the carpet
