Commercial Carpet Care Tips

1. Keep walkways and entries clean.

            Sweep, blow, vacuum or rinse soil away from the entry area often.

 2. Use walk-off mats at all entrances.

            This will prevent dirt form being tracked inside and soiling carpets and rugs. 

3. Vacuuming

            Routine vacuuming with properly maintained, quality equipment is the single most important step a business can take to prolong the life and appearance of carpet. A top-fill upright vacuum with brush agitation, or a canister vacuum with a “power head” incorporating brush agitation should be selected and used with routine frequency. Equally important, soil that is loosened and vacuumed from carpet must be collected in the vacuum’s  recovery system and not allowed to re-enter the air within the structure to contribute to indoor air pollution. For this reason, a high efficiency filtering system or bag should be used in any vacuum equipment employed.

            It is helpful to have a hose attachment for getting in those tight corners, edges, and furniture.

            Equally important, check your vacuum often. If it has beater bar, make sure it turns and the brush and belt are in good condition. Change the paper bag often, even if they aren’t full. The air from the floor has to pass out of the bag to get the soil into the bag, and if the pores are clogged it won’t work.  The most expensive vacuum is not good if it isn’t being used or if it isn’t working properly.

            Vacuuming is essential to maintaining the beauty of the furniture and prolonging its life. Removing dust and dirt, before it is ground into the fiber, can extend the life of your upholstery by up to 40%. The weekly maintenance will also enable you to notice new spots and stains and treat them accordingly.

            Finally, don’t allow your carpet and upholstery to become excessively soiled. Soil itself is damaging and, when too long in contact with the fiber, may become “set” and impossible to remove.
