Once a week? Twice a month?

Also how do you vacuum the carpet under the bed in the bedroom if your vacuum cleaner can't reach under it? Can you get away with not vacuuming there at all?

Once a week everywhere for me. Floors mopped 3 days a week. I don't do it, though. Housekeeper does it.

I was wondering this same thing the other day, as I have just moved into a place with carpet. I vacuum once a week though.

I think my roomba does it 2 or 3 times a week. That little bastard gets under everything.

When you see marijuana sprouts coming up from the seeds you spilled onto the carpet. Transfer said sprouts to the greenhouse in your backyard.

Carpetless. We aren't animals so we don't have carpet.

Twice a week, shampoo once a month give or take.
Kids man...

ETA: Once the kids get a little older and arent so clumsy, the carpet is getting replaced with hard wood.

We slacked on vacuuming our carpet for a while. We kept getting tons of house flies in our house and couldn't figure out how they were getting in. I started noticing these little brown pods scattered around the carpet, and thought it was just dirt at first. I took a closer look later and realized is was the pupa of a fly. I then started finding maggots in the carpet. That was the last straw! I took our belongings out of the house and burned it down. No more maggots.

Vacuum your carpet often!

Neato robotic vacuum. Twice a week in the whole house and I don't do anything besides pick up dog toys and shoes on the ground.

It has changed my life and I'm not exaggerating

Carpet is trashy. Hardwoods or tile with area rugs is the way to go.
