Protect Your Investment
Carpet is unparalleled for versatility and benefits. Its colour, pattern, and texture contribute to an overall atmosphere and visual effect that can dramatically influence the look and feel of residential and commercial premises. Aside from its functional advantages, carpet is incredibly cost-effective when maintained appropriately. A carefully planned and executed maintenance program will help protect the aesthetic and practical value of your carpet. Such a program should be considered at the time of carpet selection and finalised, at the latest, before installation. This maintenance guide has been compiled to help you plan and implement an effective carpet care program, to harbour the greatest outcomes from your carpet, for years to come.
Planning a Maintenance Program
When selecting a carpet for a space, the designer should consider the necessary end use; with this in mind, they should pre-inspect the carpet, identify its construction and fibre and evaluate the eventual soiling and cleaning needs. A simple, consistent, maintenance program may be carried out by in-house staff, outside professional cleaners, or a combination of both. Should you choose to outsource your carpet maintenance or any part of it, EC is willing to assist with the names and details of reputable cleaning firms.
The effectiveness of any maintenance or cleaning program depends on careful supervision, trained personnel, and the use of correct equipment and chemicals.
The necessary elements of an effective maintenance program are:
Preventative Measures (before installation) Regular Maintenance (weekly) Interim Maintenance (monthly) Long-Term Maintenance (annually/bi-annually)
