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!

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
