There are advantages to installing a carpet maintenance program:

1. The highest level of appearance possible.

2. A more uniform level of carpet color because stains will not be allowed to accumulate between cleanings.

3. The life of the carpet is extended. Clean carpets last longer because they receive less damage by soil abrasion and airborne acid pollution, filtration dust, etc.

Allow us to suggest that extensive or specialty spot cleaning, traffic area cleaning and restorative cleaning could be provided by The Club Carpet Care. Let's review the individual aspects of carpet maintenance...

VACUUMING:
Your company is responsible for regular carpet vacuuming. Carpets can not be over vacuumed. All exposed carpet surfaces should be vacuumed at least once each week. Entry areas and high traffic locations must be vacuumed daily.

Carpet edges and locations where dust builds up (areas that are difficult for an upright vacuum to reach should to be vacuumed with a hose and nozzle attachment or swept with a broom.) This should be performed at the very least four times each year.

TRAFFIC AREA CLEANING:
Cleaning only the portions of the carpet that are walked on is called "traffic area cleaning". It is an effective and inexpensive way to keep the entire carpet looking clean.

Each building has its own high traffic paths. Areas adjacent to entries and exits, areas leading to elevators, garages and the outside area of concern. So are stairwells and any carpeting near vending machines, water fountains and mail boxes, etc. Thus, traffic areas could be serviced as often as every three months.

The Club Carpet Care offers three ways to accomplish regular traffic area cleaning:

1. Bonnet cleaning. A system of dry cleaning that removes surface soil. It provides an inexpensive cleaning for traffic areas because it is fast to perform.

2. Steam (Hot Water) Cleaning. This provides a deeper cleaning of traffic areas. It is slightly more expensive than bonnet cleaning, but longer lasting.

3. WALK-OFF MAT ROTATION: Using walk-off mats, also called entry mats is an ideal way to reduce tracked in soil from reaching the carpeting. These mats must be of good commercial quality and need to be vacuumed daily. Once they become soiled they should be removed for cleaning. Rotating (replacing) the soiled mat with a clean mat requires that you have an available replacement set of mats.

Your service personnel should vacuum these mats daily . The Club Carpet Care is able to thoroughly clean your soiled walk-off mats for reuse. A walk-off mat program makes a major improvement in building cleanliness.

RESTORATIVE CLEANING:
By implementing a schedule of carpet maintenance procedures that includes the aforementioned services it is possible to prolong the need for a complete steam cleaning service of the entire carpet which is called restorative cleaning.

While the restorative cleaning may be postponed, it can not be avoided. Eventually, airborne contaminates and even the spot cleaning chemicals and traffic area cleaning detergents particularly from bonnet cleaning must be flushed out of the carpeting.

In some buildings a complete cleaning could be postponed for up to two years. However, most experts agree that it is more reasonable to perform restorative cleanings on an annual basis to remove airborne contaminates.

The Club Carpet Care uses a steam (hot water) cleaning system. It features a water rinse that removes the cleaning detergents used in the cleaning process. We believe that it provides the most thorough restorative cleaning process available .

The benefits of a carpet maintenance program:

Uniform level of good carpet appearance

Increased carpet life by reducing soil damage

Increased service finds & corrects problems

Flexible programs change as your needs change a program designed for your specific needs:

Tracked in soils near entries and in elevators:

rainy season muds.

pine needles from Christmas trees.

oils and greases from garages.

Considering the seasons and standard soil patterns, the following carpet maintenance program is being presented as an example. It is one of many possibilities to be considered:

FIRST YEAR

 

April	Restorative cleaning
July	Spot cleaning and mat rotation
September
	Traffic area cleaning (Total Rinse)  Lower floor stairs  Elevators Near garbage chutes
November	Spot cleaning and mat rotation.

Each of your buildings requires a careful evaluation and its own program based on: The lifestyles of the residents, the age and condition of the carpeting, the building location and its operating budget . These and other considerations lead to the development of a carpet maintenance program.

The Club Carpet Care would be pleased to evaluate any of your properties and provide a detailed carpet maintenance plan for your review.
