Carpet is a very important feature of your home, adding comfort and warmth  and it is not cheap to buy. It is therefore very important to look after it not only for hygienic reasons but also to enjoy it for a very long time.  Vacuuming is important to clean it and free it from dirt and must be done on a regular basis.  High traffic areas should be done daily whereas spare  bedrooms for instance only once a week.  If you have pets, kids and smokers you would need more regularly vacuuming than say if you were living on your own or a couple out all day at work.  Dust and dirt gets ingrained into the fibres of the carpet which can lead to discolouration

Neglecting your carpet will definitely lead to a short lifespan of it, and you will need to replace sooner than you had hoped.  So remember …… vacuum frequently.
