Pick up any small, hard objects, such as pins, buttons, coins, or plasterchips. They can easily clog the hose and filter or even worse, damage the fan and motor. Take chairs, footrests and waste-baskets out of the room or set them on larger furniture to minimize furniture moving while you vacuum. Adjudt the nozzle of your upright vacuum so that it rides in close contact with carpet's pile. If the nozzle is too low, it will make the vacuum hard to push. If the nozzle is too high, air will enter the vacuum above the carpet instead of being pulled through the carpet.
