Why carpets smell bad?

Bad odors on carpeting will be the result of concentrated stains and pet urine. If grimes are not removed right away, they will create nests of dirt, where bacteria will grow, too.

The frequency of carpet cleaning depends on how easily your carpet becomes dirty. If you receive a lot of guests almost every day, you will have to clean your carpets more often, around once or twice in every two months.

Are there basic rules for rug cleaning?

There are always some rules when it comes to carpet cleaning and especially when it comes to handmade rugs, which are precious and valuable. If they're machine-made, rug cleaning is easier. You must always read the labels. Wool rugs, for instance, must be vacuumed in different directions and it's no good to vacuum using force or wet silk rugs. The rules follow the needs of fibers.

Do I need to sweep the floor before vacuum cleaning?

While you will get little benefit from sweeping carpeted floors, you should remove hair form them in advance. This will help you immensely when you get to the vacuuming.
