Cleaning Techniques Vacuuming
Using a good quality vacuum cleaner with strong suction and a revolving brush usually yields the best results. Opt for a vacuum featuring an efficient filtration system, like HEPA-grade filtration, to effectively trap fine particles and avoid their redistribution. For loop pile carpets, it is advisable to utilise a vacuum cleaner with a smooth, brushless head for regular cleaning. Given that certain vacuum floor-head models incorporate stiff bristles, we advise against employing turbo or power-driven heads, as these can potentially harm your carpet. For cut pile carpets and a combination of cut and loop pile carpets, all types of cleaner heads are suitable. However, it is important to be mindful of excessive use of a revolving brush-style vacuum cleaner head, as it may impact the appearance of your carpet over time.
We recommend vacuuming daily in high-traffic areas and every second or third day in lesser-use areas.
For effective vacuuming:
• select professional equipment that is suited to your installation and volume of traffic. • vacuum slowly and thoroughly, making three to five passes over an area. • empty vacuum bags frequently. A bag 2/3 full can reduce the vacuum efficiency by up to 50%. • keep all equipment clean and ensure all parts are in good working order. Repair or replace the floor tool if it becomes blurred, so as not to damage loop pile carpeting.
