Whereas there are some experts or professionals who suggest vacuuming the carpet even after the cleaning process as a matter of final touch.

Considering the advantages and the disadvantages of this vacuuming at the final stage, We prefer to do this vacuuming process at certain times after cleaning. You can consider this vacuuming by leaving a one time gap between the cleaning processes.
