Vacuum Frequently
Dirt not only collects on the surface but works itself down into the carpet. Loose dirt, dust, sand and other atoms may be vacuumed up with a mercantile vacuum. This will have to be done on a regular basis taking into account the amount and type of traffic. Daily light vacuuming is very desirable because this will support keep the dirt from being ground further into the pile. Periodically, when it comes to once a week, vacuum more exhaustively by going over the same areas more often or by using a particular beater bar vacuum. The regular remotion of this type of dirt will help prolong the life of the carpet.
Remove Spots and Stains Immediately
The remotion of spots and stains will have to be done without delay after spillage occurs. Stains that set up become difficult to remove. Use particular spotters as described in the “Carpet Spot and Stain Removal Chart”.
Oils and greases gather on the carpet an cause a great deal of of the dirt to adhere, thence creating an unsightly appearance. The use of chemical cleaners will be required for the remotion of this soil. Refer to the chart.
Use Yarn Pad Frequently
Like all other flooring materials, carpets will become much more soiled in traffic pattern areas. These areas will have to be cleaned with the yarn pad. This procedure makes it possible to clean any type of carpet with a conventional floor machine in a fast, effective and safe manner. It also permits the passage of traffic without delay following the cleaning routine and does not require remotion of all the furniture.
o Before you use a new yarn pad, pre-soak or launder it to remove factory sizing.
o Remove as much furniture as possible from the room.
o Vacuum the area to be cleaned exhaustively to get up all loose dirt.
o In an out-of-the-way area, test fabric for color fastness of possible harm from shampoo or spotter.
o Pre-spot all spots and stains, using “Carpet Spot and Stain Removal” chart.
o Dilute 9-12 oz. of carpet shampoo to each gallon of water in the wringer bucket and immerse pads. Use plastic drop cloth to protect versus spillage.
o Place a ¾” stripping pad under the drive block of the floor machine. Lightly spray the bottom of a wrung-out yarn pad with some of the shampoo solution and place it beneath the stripper pad.
o Lightly spray approximately 10′ x 10′ square of the carpet with a solution of carpet shampoo mixed 1 portion to 10 constituents of water from a tank sprayer or trigger sprayer set on “mist”. Do not over-wet the carpet.
o Traverse machine back and forth until the 10′ x 10′ square is covered, then repeat in the other direction. When the pad becomes excessively soiled, turn it over and scrub with the other side. Repeat spraying and scrubbing in the adjacent areas. Be sure to feather into antecedently cleaned areas to prevent streaks. If the carpet fibers are white with shampoo, work it into the carpet just like you were polishing a floor. Hand scrub borders and corner areas.
o When both sides of the yarn pad become excessively soiled, wash the pad in the carpet shampoo solution and wring it out. Then rinse it in the clear water and wring as arid as possible.
o Don’t over-wet the carpet. Try a test area first. Remember to spray the yarn pad before using so it will move easily. Traverse areas until carpet is closely dry.
Use Extraction Regularly
The extractor is a rinse and vacuum machine. The extractor uses hot water and a low-foaming cleaning agent for regular cleaning of carpets. If the carpet has been antecedently shampooed with a arid foam product, the extractor must be applied without adding a detergent to the hot water. This rinses out the shampoo residue or build-up and carries the soil away as before: however, the foam must be scaled down in the pick-up tank by using a de-foaming product. This extractor method wets the carpet less than a shampoo procedure but a little more than the Yarn Pad Method.
o Remove by hand apparent accumulations of soil, such as gum, candy and other loose objects.
o Move as much furniture as possible from the area.
o Test fabric for color fastness or possible harm from the detergent or spotters in an-out-of-the-way area.
o Treat stains and spots with particular spotters. See “Carpet Spot and Stain Removal” chart.
o Thoroughly vacuum to remove all loose dirt. Overlap so there is little probability of soil being missed.
o Fill extractor solution tank with 2-4 ounces of an extractor detergent per gallon of hot water. Follow extractor directions for heat control and other necessary operation procedures. To clean, place wand at a comfortable distance in front of you so the triangular tool is perpendicular to carpet. Depress dispensing valve and pull wand toward you as a slow, steady pace, freeing the valve just before the end of the “pass”. Then return tool to same spot and vacuum the damp area until soil or water may no longer bee seen entering pick-up tank. Repeat operation with each “pass,” somewhat overlapping the former one. (See special “Build-Up” directions). Do not over-wet carpet.
o Arrange the best possible drying conditions and keep all traffic and furniture off until wholly dry.
o If furniture with metal tips will have to be substituted on carpet that is not exhaustively dry, insert cardboard, plastic or aluminum strips underneath to prevent rust marks.
Detergent Build-Up
If carpet has a high degree of previously-used arid foam shampoo build-up, do not add detergent to the hat water and use de-foamer in the pick-up tank or as directed on the label. Carpet may be tested in advance by rubbing with a wet sponge or rag. If foaming occurs, follow these special directions.
Shampoo As Needed
Seasonal shampooing will be necessary for to a great extent soiled carpets. Institutions with their own floor scrubbing machines and vacuums may do their own cleaning with only a few extra affixations needed. The following are the steps commended for this:
o Remove by hand apparent accumulations of soil such as gum, candy and other loose objects.
o Move as much furniture as possible from the area.
o In an out-of-the-way area, test fabric for color fastness or possible harm from shampoo.
o Treat stains and spots with special spotters. See “Carpet Spot and Stain Removal” chart.
o Thoroughly vacuum to remove all loose dirt. Attempt to raise crushed tufts so that the shampoo may get into the fibers to remove the soil. Overlap so there is little chance of soil being missed.
o Fill floor machine solution tank with a shampoo solution. This must be a special detergent that is quick drying and that will not leave a film which may cause quick re-soiling. Use a particular nylon carpet brush pre-soaked in water for one hour. Select an area with regards to 5′ x 10′ at one corner of carpet. Proceed so that you wind up in a area off the carpet to keep from walking back throughout the wet carpet. Release the solution as the floor machine is running. Do not over-wet or the drying will be prolonged and carpet may shrink or be stained from the backing. Scrub with a side-to-side motion. Overlap so that there may be no missed areas. Hand scrub border and around corners. After scrubbing, vacuum with a wet vacuum arrangement. Then brush the nap of the carpet in one direction with the grain.
o Arrange the best possible drying conditions and keep all traffic and furniture off until totally dry. Then vacuum once again to lift the pile and remove any detergent residue or loosened soil or pile.
o If furniture with metal tips ought to be substituted on carpet that is not exhaustively dry, insert cardboard, plastic or aluminum strips under to prevent rust marks.
Special machines with built-in foam generators will provide a arid foam on the carpet and they may also pick up the foam and soil all in one pass. These do not wet the carpet as much, but in turn do not clean rather as well as this procedure.
Spray With Anti-Static As Needed
When Humidity in a room gets under when it comes to 50%, there may be a build-up of static electricity on personnel as they walk over the carpet. This will discharge as they touch a grounded object such as a light switch. The discharge or spark may be a hazard since it may ignite flammable gasses that may be in the air. It may be a source of annoyance or even fright since it is a sudden prick to the skin surface. The use of an anti-static product may reduce this build-up on the carpet.
