How to Get Rid of Pet Dander on Carpet
From the surfaces in your home, the goal is to remove the dander as much as possible. Though you cannot complete get rid of it, you can decrease it significantly.

Dander is a protein-based substance that clings to surfaces and easily settles nearly anywhere. To help control the dander in your home, apply the following the steps listed below.
Hard surfaces need to be wiped down.

Clean upholstery and curtains periodically. Pets are not known to sacrifice their comfort, even if they have to indulge in using the furniture behind your back, they will sit, sleep, and lounge on them, spreading their dander in the upholstery. A lint brush works well on the surface for daily use. Vacuum the upholstery once a week while getting the cushions and crevices to get all the dander more efficiently removed. Curtains will also collect the dander, so make certain to wash them periodically according to the directions on the tag. Once or twice a year, have the upholstery professionally deep cleaned.
The rugs and carpets should be vacuumed daily. Lurking just below your feet is an accumulation of pet dander from the rugs and carpets.

Carpets rugs should also be professionally cleaned once or twice a year to retrieve the dander that settled below the surfaces.
