"The Five Elements" - A customized comprehensive carpet care program consists of five elements:

Soil Containment

· Use entrance mats to keep dirt from entering or spreading through the building

· At least once a month replace air filters and inspect air ducts often for build-up

Vacuuming

· Light-to-medium traffic areas: Vacuum as needed, but at least every 2-3 days.

· Heavy-traffic areas: Vacuum daily - entrances, corridors/hall areas, break

areas, elevators and work/copy rooms.

· When selecting a vacuum cleaner, choose a high quality Hepa- Filtration Vacuum and follow the manufacturer's recommendations for use.

Spot and Spill Removal System

· Check for spots daily and treat immediately.

· Most carpet today has a soil-resistant treatment, making spots easier to remove.

· Act quickly! The longer the delay, the higher the probability for a permanent stain.

· Blot liquids with a dry, white, absorbent cloth or plain white paper towels (without any print design). Do not scrub area! Continue to blot until the area is essentially dry.

· Gently scrape up semi-solids (dried food, modeling clay, finger-paint, etc.) with a rounded spoon and vacuum. Do not add moisture.

· If you plan on using stain removal cleaners, please consult us before you make a purchase. Most Stain removal products sold by retailers, despite their claims often cause permanent fiber damage. Although the spot comes out quickly the spotting agent never stops working and color loss or fiber damage will occur some weeks or months after.

Management Cleaning

· Professional systematic soil removal based on a regularly scheduled cleaning based on time not appearance. Carpet is designed to trap and hide soil. Some commercial grade carpet can hide as much as a pound of dirt in one square foot of carpet before it is noticeable. If you wait until the carpet looks dirty significant fiber abrasion has already occurred.

Restorative or Restoration Cleaning

· Is a deep cleaning, high heat multiple step process that to removes residues and trapped soils. There are some conditions where appearance change must be expected. Direct sunlight exposure promotes fading or color loss. In areas where the oily material from asphalt sealers is tracked into the building, carpet and other flooring may become yellowed over time.

Check the traffic lanes often for slight dulling of color; this indicates a build up of soil. It is virtually impossible to remove all of this material once it has penetrated the fiber of any carpet. Entrance mats and scheduled cleaning can reduce this phenomenon. Areas where large amounts of sandy soil enter the building may become dull in appearance over time. This is due to abrasion of the fiber surface, affecting the reflection of light. Frequent vacuuming helps to minimize this problem. Care should be taken with cleaning products. Janitorial chemical spills from window cleaners, disinfectants and toilet bowl acids will cause dye stains and bleach spots.

A professionally designed and implemented Appearance Management program performed by qualified personnel, properly equipped and trained, is essential for optimal long-term performance of your carpeting and textiles.

If you don't maintain it, you can't expect it to stay clean!
