Preventive
Maintenance

• Daily vacuuming: In alltraffic areas, abrasive hard soils will be damaging your carpet. These soils wear on the fibers and backing, cutting them and causing permanent damage. Regular systematic vacuuming of these areas is the most important element in the maintenance of carpet.Eighty-five percent of the soil being tracked into your building is dry, and vacuuming regularly will remove these contaminants before they become imbedded in the fibers and backing.
• Type of vacuum used: For maximum results, select a vacuum certified by the Carpet and Rug Institute (CRI) Vacuum Cleaning Indoor Air Quality Program (www.carpet-rug.org). Studies have proved that upright plug-in vacuums with brushes and a beater bar remove more dry soils than any other type of vacuum.
• Walk off mats: Walk off mats should be 10-20 feet long,or as long as possible for your facility. On average it will take thisdistance of travel across carpet to “clean off” your customer’s shoes. Properly placed and maintained mats willextend the life of your installed carpet.
• Have interior and exterior hard flooring swept and cleaned on a regular basis.

These details are necessary for even the best cleaning service to meet your expectations. Without them, even the bestcarpet maintenance programwill produce inferior results.
