The method and product you use to clean your carpet will really depend upon what carpet you have, like for instance a Persian or Chinese one, the kind of climate you live in, whether or not you have messy pets and of course your budget.
The easiest and most popular method of cleaning a carpet is vacuuming it. You will need a vacuum cleaner and how often you vacuum will depend upon your requirements- in other words, when do you have time to clean, how dirty does the carpet get and so on.
Another feasible option is to get a hold of a good quality carpet cleaner. You can check the internet for options. However it is better for you to check your local janitorial store or sweeper store for some choices. You could purchase a carpet cleaning machine- this may be a tad bit expensive if you don't have spare cash at hand but on the other hand, there are places that rent these machines for about twenty dollars a day- which would do as well.

Vacuum the carpet and then dilute one soup spoon of special shampoo for carpets in lukewarm water. You can find this shampoo in supermarkets. Apply this manually using a scrubbing brush.
Avoid walking on it until dry. You can use this way weekly or every 20 days so as to clean rug and carpet surfaces. Use a piece of cloth dampened with the same solution. It brightens the carpet appearance and its great the Persian and Chinese carpets. This way is really great and works on all the carpets. Good luck.

To add to Elsa's answer. If you are using an extractor the trick is to not leave any residue behind. I tell my customers to do the following:
Do not put the cleaning detergent in the machine. Instead get yourself a pump up sprayer and put it there. Spray your carpet with it. Give it some dwell time to loosen soils. On your machine use only plain water. The final results should be a carpet with as little residue as possible. Why?, because a sticky residue attracts dirt and you'll be cleaning that carpet a lot sooner then you have to. Think about washing your clothes and stopping the cycle before rinsing. It will attract dirt like crazy, not to mention the feel of it.
