DEEP CLEANING FREQUENCIES
The table below is provided as a general reference for how often different
types of traffic areas should be Deep cleaned during normal situations.
HOT WATER EXTRACTION TIPS
Test the cleaning agent to be sure it dries without stickiness
or residue; otherwise it can cause rapid re-soiling.
Use only cleaning agents that have a pH factor below 10 and
contain low levels of volatile organic compounds (VOCs).
When preformed properly, carpet should be dry within 4-6 hours.
We recommend the use of portable or truck-mounted equipment or
self-contained extractors. Extractors incorporating a brush between
the water jet and vacuum are recommended.
Remove as much moisture as possible with dry passes.
Enhance drying time by using air movers and, if possible, do not
permit traffic on the carpet until it is dry.
RECOMMENDED EQUIPMENT
Presprays are a vital part of a good hot water extraction.
Dual cylinder brush scrubber is recommended to agitate and
pile lift the yarn.
All equipment and chemicals must be CRI approved.
