Carpet & Soiling Germs and  Bacteria Germs and bacteria of all kinds can be tracked onto your carpeting. Even the use of treated door mats cannot prevent  this, but may significantly retard the process. These germs are alive and thriving in your carpet, and as long as it remains dirty, they will continue to  breed and grow. Soapy, Sticky Residue Soapy and sticky residue from conventional shampoo, dry foam, spray, and bonnet methods of cleaning will cause rapid  resoling due to the lack of proper extraction of the chemicals used  in these  methods. Spots and stains will resurface because they were only pushed a little deeper, and the traffic lanes will appear dirty much sooner. Sand, Grit, and Hard Dirt Particles Sand, grit, and hard dirt  particles which are deeply embedded in your carpet will cause abrasion of the tips and sides of  the fibers. These scratches will make the carpet look dull after a  time. Dirt Particles Dirt particles contain an  assortment of minerals and chemicals which are gathered and blended from a wide area. Humidity or moisture tracked into your home on shoes can act as a catalyst to this  foreign matter. The reaction may cause severe damage to the carpet dye  and can  actually change the color of the carpet if it remains over long periods of time. Gasses In The Air Gasses in the air caused by the burning of various fuels and the action of the sun on certain other gasses in the  atmosphere can affect the stability of a carpet dye. Many Disinfectants Many disinfectants and harsh detergents can  affect the dye. The longer these foreign elements are allowed to remain in your  carpet, the more likely the chance of damage to carpet dye. It is dye damage that first causes you to notice a change in the color of your  carpet. About 90% of All Soil Is.... About 90% of all soil is dry particulate and can be easily removed by normal vacuuming. Only about 10% is oily and needs  special attention. What Can You Do About These Problems? The  Three Steps to Successful Maintenance: 1. Vacuum. 2. Vacuum. 3. Vacuum. This is the secret to success dry carpet will not be harmed by brushing action to the fibers. Therefore, we recommend a good quality, upright vacuum cleaner with a reel-type brush to move the tips of the carpet pile so the  dirt can be removed with the air velocity created by the vacuum. The amount of traffic and the relation of the carpet to dirty access areas are the main factors governing the frequency of vacuuming. The basic rule is that dirt should not be allowed to settle in the carpet. Walking on dirt and grit that has settled into the base of the fibers  causes an abrasive action, which results in the appearance of traffic lanes and  worn areas. Vacuum traffic lanes every day. Use a back-and-forth motion in one direction, and then finish the carpet by going back-and-forth in  the opposite direction. And remember, go slowly. Change the disposable bags or empty the vacuum often Filled pickup bags  result in less suction and less dirt removal. Be sure to check the belt that  drives the brush or beater bar. A broken or worn belt reduces efficiency. And  don't be upset by the amount of fiber you pick up from new carpet. These are  ends which are not removed in the manufacturing process and often appear for  many months. Carpet Sweepers and electric brooms are useful for picking up  surface  soil, but it is important to know that they will not clean deeply. Never use a broom of any kind on the carpet. At best, the dirt is just moved around, and a dust problem is created. One of the best methods of preventing the tracking of soil throughout your homeor business is to provide removable mats at each entrance to your home - both  inside and outside.  These removable mats can be laundered, hosed, beaten or   vacuumed as soil accumulated to a noticeable degree.
