Vacuum cleaner and how to take care of carpet

We are moving to a new house with new carpet. The staircase and the entire upstairs (except bathrooms) are carpeted. This would not be my first (or second or third) choice, but replacing all that brand new carpet is not in budget for the moment.


So, I have basically not had carpet for most of my adult life and I could use some pointers on caring for it. We have a shark upright vacuum cleaner I use on our one rug. I am pleased with it. But should I consider a different vacuum cleaner? I could leave the shark downstairs for the living room rug and store a second vacuum upstairs.


And how and how often should I plan to clean the carpet? We have kids and a dog so it will see heavy use.


If it makes any difference to your recommendations, three of the four of us have dust mite allergies.

Thank you!
