Carpet

PLEASE NOTE: NO CARPET IS ABSOLUTELY STAIN PROOF. SOME CARPETS HAVE

STAIN RESISTANT TREATMENTS TO IMPROVE YOUR ABILITY TO CLEAN UP STAINS,

NOT PREVENT STAINS. CARPETS WITH SOIL RESISTANT TREATMENTS REDUCE THE

RATE OF SOILING BUT, THESE ALSO REQUIRE REGULAR CARE AND MAINTENANCE.

Vacuuming

The most important step in caring for your carpet is vacuuming. Vacuum thoroughly and frequently,

particularly in high traffic areas. Bear in mind that walking on soiled carpet permits the soil particles to

work their way below the surface of the pile where they were they are far more difficult to remove.

Frequent vacuuming removes soil particles from the surface before this happens.

For rooms with light traffic, vacuum the traffic lanes twice weekly and the entire area once weekly.

Those areas with heavier traffic require that the traffic lanes be vacuumed daily and the entire area

twice weekly. Up to three passes of the machine will suffice for light soiling, but five to seven passes

may be necessary for heavily soiled areas.

Vacuum Cleaner Recommendations:

1. Carpet manufacturers recommend the use of vacuums with a rotating brush or beater/brush

bar which agitates the carpet pile and mechanically loosens soil for the vacuum to remove.

2. Carpets with thick loop pile construction may be sensitive to brushing, rubbing, or scraping of

the pile surface which may cause fuzziness and pile distortion. It is recommended that

vacuums with brushes, bristle strips and/or beater bar are used, test in an inconspicuous area

to make certain it will not damage the carpet.

3. Vacuums with top loading bags are preferred over bottom loading bags. This helps ensure the

vacuum does not lose effectiveness as the bag fills. Replaceable paper bags do a better job of

trapping extremely small particles; cloth bags often allow these particles to pass through the

bag and back into the air. Bags should be checked frequently and replaced when 2/3 full.

4. Make sure the belt is in good condition and that the beater actually rotates when in contact

with the carpet. Adjust the height of the vacuum cleaner by raising the beater/brush bar to the

highest setting. Then lower the bar until it contacts the pile enough to vibrate the carpet slightly

several inches away from the machine but not enough o cause a significant slowing of the

motor. Vacuuming across the traffic pattern occasionally, rather than in the traffic direction, will

help prevent matting.

A good vacuum cleaner is vital to prolonging the life of your carpet. An inexpensive carpet sweeper

will remove surface dirt but will not effectively remove the hidden dirt and particles embedded in the

pile.

Cleaning

While vacuuming is sufficient to remove most dry soil, the oily soil coming from cooking vapors, air

pollution, and that tracked in from outside presents a different type problem. These particles of oily

soil deposited on carpet fibers can cause gradual but significant dulling of delicate pastel colors: the

color isn’t lost but is hidden under the film. If this type of soil is allowed to accumulate, it literally glues
