    Hi,
    I am living in an apartment complex. I have vinyl flooring in my house right now. I am moving to a different apartment next month which has a carpet flooring.
    I am not sure how to take care of carpet floorings. What are the precautions or cleaning methods do you use for the carpet floor? I have a son who is four and a half years old. He is always play with water,paint and other stuff and make my current flooring messy. I used to mop it.
    Since moving to a carpet flooring, i am just thinking how to clean it up in a daily basis. I do have a vacuum cleaner which I use it to vacuum my vinyl flooring and big rugs. Something like this

    www.target.com/p/dirt-devil-174-sim...

    Is this sufficient for the carpet floors or do I get a bigger ones? Any suggestions for the brand?

    Any input is appreciated. Thank you.

    Your vacuum cleaner is fine. But with a young kid, you will need to vacuum atleast every alternate day. Carpets attract dust and can cause asthma and skin allergies. Use a washable playrug which you can wipe clean with a damp cloth when your son paints etc.

    Buy a big area rug to cover the living area ie end to end of sofa. So that beneath area stays good.
    In your kids room too cover with a area rug on the carpeted area.
    You can get from Target/Walmart/ Costco
    You have to vaccum alternate days.
    2 or 3 month once you can go for carpet washing by renting the machine from Home Depot which is 25$, rug Doctor.
