Roberts suggests that to make carpets safer, you should use a vacuum cleaner with a power head. Then, once a week for a period of several weeks, make 25 passes over the carpet within four feet of the main entrances, 16 passes over areas with heavy foot traffic, and 8 passes over the remainder of the carpeted areas.
Robertsa kungs iesaka lietot putekļsūcēju ar uzgali, kas vairo sūkšanas jaudu, un ar to reizi nedēļā paklāju tīrīt šādi: 25 reizes šurpu turpu pārbraukt paklāja daļai, kas atrodas metra rādiusā ap ārdurvīm, 16 reizes braukt pāri iestaigātiem celiņiem un 8 reizes sūkt pārējo paklāja platību.
