Flooring Maintenance

Cover Your World Flooring, Inc.

Vacuum and spot clean your carpet daily.

Acceletated carpet wear occurs when traffic grinds imbedded soil into the carpet fiber. You can extend your carpet's life by placing walk-off mats at exterior entrances, and vacuuming traffic areas thoroughly everyday.

Only about 20% of carpet soil is solube in water or solvent. You can remove much of the remaining 80% (fibers and particles) by vacuuming thoroughly every day, emphaszing heavy-soil areas like entrances. Your vacuum should have a powered brush and strong suction.

To ensure spots are removed promptly, give yourself a carpet first aid kit containing:

Dry cleaning solvent (e.g. perchlorethylene)
Detergent solution (a teaspoon of non-bleach powder in a cup of water)
Ammonia solution to neutralize acid stains (a tablespoon of ammonia in cup of water. Vinegar (of citric acid) solution to neutralize alkaline stains (1/3 white vinegar 2/3 water)
White absorbent clothes or paper towels.
