Interim Maintenance
An interim maintenance program should be included in your commercial carpet’s cleaning and maintenance program. Interim cleaning is designed to
reduce the soil-removal burden during hot-water extraction cleaning cycles, make your daily scheduled maintenance easier to perform, and to help
your carpet retain a fresher, cleaner appearance. Proper interim cleaning is fast and effective, and provides a safe way to help retain a high
appearance level with your commercial carpet. Interim cleaning can include the use of a commercial pile lifter (dual counter rotating brushes) to
remove deeply embedded soils, or a fast-drying liquid encapsulate. Unlike hot water extraction, interim cleaning does not require significant training
to do or expensive equipment and can be performed by in-house maintenance personnel. As in vacuuming, the frequency of interim cleaning needs
will vary based on traffic and soiling conditions. The use of the Carpet and Rug Institute (CRI) Seal of Approval (SOA) approved products and
equipment is required.
Restorative Deep Cleaning Requirements
Although the frequency of restorative deep cleaning needs also vary, you must have your carpet cleaned professionally using the hot-water
extraction method by a certified professional carpet cleaner following the IICRC Standard Reference Guide for Professional Cleaning and using the
Carpet and Rug Institute (CRI) Seal of Approval (SOA) products and equipment every twelve (12) months to maintain your warranty rights. Due to
higher concentration of traffic, areas such as, but not limited to lobbies, corridors, elevators, and food service locations will require more frequent
cleaning. Carpet is easier to maintain, and more successfully cleaned when cleaned before becoming discolored by soiling. Hot-water extraction
cleaning removes deeply embedded dry soils that can damage carpet fibers and be a deterrent to the long-term appearance and performance of a
carpet. All chemicals used must have a pH level of less than nine. Before cleaning, a carpet must be thoroughly vacuumed. Heavily soiled carpet
may require the use of a pile lifter and/or a traffic lane pre-spray prior to hot-water extraction. If the carpet was manufactured with a stain resistance
treatment, Beaulieu recommends the re-application of Scotchgard™ Protector or similar treatment where applicable by a certified professional carpet
cleaner after each professional hot water extraction. The use of fans, air-blowers, dehumidifiers, and air conditioners will help reduce drying times,
which generally do not exceed six to eight hours. The use of a Bonnet or any carpet cleaning equipment or method other than professional hot-
water extraction cleaning for restorative cleaning of your Beaulieu® commercial carpet is prohibited and will void these warranties. The use of
portable extraction equipment that continuously recycles the cleaning solution can cause accelerated re-soiling. The use of this type cleaning
equipment is not recommended. For questions or more information, Technical Services can be contacted at 800-944-2840 or
[e-mail].
OmniLoc™ Modular Carpet Tiles must only be extracted using a maximum 100 psi and the temperature at the wand should not exceed 100 degrees
Fahrenheit. Exceeding these limits may disrupt adhesive bond on perimeter of the tiles.
PLEASE NOTE: The use of a Spin Bonnet, the use of detergents containing optical brighteners, and the use of silicone-based soil protection
treatments is prohibited, and will void your warranties.
