4)   Use quality vacuum equipment.  Check the Carpet and Rug Institute’s list of vacuums that passed the Green Label Program at:  www.carpet-rug.com.

5)   Use high-efficiency vacuum filter bags  to trap small particles of dust and allergens.

6)   Vacuum frequently before soils become embedded in the carpet.
