CARPET MAINTENANCE SYSTEMS
A guide to the proper care of commercial carpet

Soil Control

1. Maintenance of entry walkways ~ regular sweeping and / or cleaning of hard surface areas that lead into a building.
2. Use of walk off / entry mats ~ entry mats should be placed at most locations and changed or cleaned regularly.
3. Restriction of food services to designated areas will help reduce soiling throughout the office area.
4. Chair Pads ~ under desk pads prevent damage to carpet, pad and prevent casters from grinding in dirt.

Interim Maintenance
Vacuuming Schedule ~ the single most important part of any maintenance program. All carpet in high traffic areas should be vacuumed daily.

Training of staff member (s) to clean spots and spills as they occur.

A Professional Carpet Maintenance Program
A professional carpet maintenance program will prevent carpet resoiling, resulting in a high appearance level at all times, extended carpet life and improved indoor air quality.

ADVANTAGES OF A PROFESSIONAL CARPET MAINTENANCE PROGRAM

High Appearance Level
The highs and lows of the soiling / cleaning cycle are eliminated, leaving your carpet looking clean throughout the life of the installation.

Extended Carpet Life
Carpet fibre damage is greatly reduced, resulting in longer carpet life.

A Uniform Level of Original Colour
In many cases carpets ugly out long before they wear out. Carpet Maintenance prevents soils and stains from accumulating between cleanings, resulting in longer carpet life.

Savings
Extending the life of the carpet translates into deferred replacement costs. The annual interest in the cost of a new installation substantially exceeds the annual fee of the maintenance program.

Improved Indoor Air Quality
By its inherent characteristics, carpet acts as a natural filter catching soil, carbon and other airborne particles that permeate the building through the air handling system. In many cases these pollutants can create or aggravate respiratory problems. Regular maintenance will prevent these pollutants from accumulating in the carpet.
