The cleaning and maintenance of commercial carpet has long been a strength of Capital Carpet Care.
Commercial carpet will generally have higher traffic and soiling conditions, which may require different cleaning procedures and
cleaning it is better served by a systematic maintenance program.
Pre-Cleaning Inspection
Things to consider are traffic and soiling conditions, amount of down time required for drying, carpet construction and type of installation, as well as customer expectations and budget. Look for any pre-existing conditions such as spots, stains, excessive wear, open seams or any other type of damage.
Preparation of Carpet
At Capital Carpet Care. we have always been firm believers in the need for power pile lifting all heavy traffic areas in commercial installations. This procedure lifts crushed carpet pile and thoroughly removes dry particulate soil. Pile lifting should precede all wet cleaning techniques, and is specified by many commercial mills.
Cleaning Techniques
All commercial maintenance should begin with a corrective cleaning system in order to obtain the desired appearance level that is to be maintained. This initial cleaning may incorporate the Carpet Care Products from the first section of this guide or may also be accomplished using the multi-functional
Chemstractor® as a rotary shampoo extractor. The Rotary Extraction method may be used with a variety of specific shampoos
depending on the nature of the soil and the maintenance schedule. Enzyme Carpet Shampoo is instrumental for the cleaning of
food service areas while Professional Carpet Shampoo and our premier Formula 161 Soil Retardant Shampoo is most appropriate for other commercial carpet installations.
Once the optimal appearance is initially obtained, that appearance level should be systematically maintained with a routine schedule of power pile lifting and bonnet cleaning. Complete Services
In addition to the primary function of corrective and subsequent maintenance cleaning procedures, commercial maintenance encompasses all aspects of environmental service as it relates to textile coverings. Routine spotting. Fabric cleaning and annual static control are but a few important elements. Capital Carpet Care has many specialty spotting agents ideally suited for the unique task of commercial carpet spotting. |
