First you need to know what causes rapid resoiling. It is caused by a sticky residue being left on the carpet. This residue is normally from carpet cleaning detergents and shampoos that have not been thoroughly rinsed. So to prevent rapid resoiling you need to prevent leaving behind this residue. If you plan on hiring a carpet cleaner you can do this by making sure that they use a good fresh water or acid rinse to rinse your carpeting. Most carpet cleaners will use some sort of detergent or shampoo in their pre-spray. This is not a problem as long as they rinse it out with plain water or the acid rinse. Just make sure that they do not use a detergent rinse which some cleaners use to make cleaning easier on them. If you want to go one step further you can find a cleaner who uses soap free carpet cleaners. They are out there and with them you do not have the chance of residue. This may not be an option for you if you have heavily soiled carpets however as this might require the use of detergents. If you plan on cleaning the carpet yourself you should plan on making extra passes over the carpet with plain water to try and rinse out as much residue as possible. Make some extra dry passes as well. It might take much longer but it will also stay cleaner much longer.



As you can see, it is possible to have clean carpets that do not resoil quickly. Just be sure to take the time to hire the right cleaner or take the time to do the job right yourself.
