The way to CLEAN CARPET TILE

Commercial carpet tile has many benefits. It’s durable, economical, high quality, and always ready to accommodate heavy traffic. Carpet tiles cover the floors of many airports, hospitals, office buildings, and restaurants, and it has quickly become a valued favorite in the commercial market over the past several years.

Another key advantage of using carpet tile is its easiness to maintain and clean. Proper maintenance and cleaning helps the carpet look great and prolongs its lifespan.

Regular vacuuming is very important to the life of commercial carpet tiles. Remember, a quick once over is almost useless. Take long slow steady passes over the carpet to pick up loose particles and debris. Leaving them behind causes damage to the fibers and shortens the life of the tiles. High-traffic areas need to be vacuumed every day, moderate traffic areas should be vacuumed two to three times a week, and perimeter and edges should be addressed weekly.

React quickly when a spill occurs. Gently blot any surface liquid immediately. Do not allow a spill to become a stain. Here are some additional tips to help preserve the life of the tiles, decreasing the need for premature replacement: 

1.Remove ink with water followed by a solvent spot remover.

2.Remove coffee with a warm mild detergent solution first, then use a solvent spot remover.

3.Use a cloth or sponge to apply solvents or solutions.

4.Treat spots working from the outside towards the middle.

5.Rinse the spot after using a water-based solvent.

6.Remember, the tile can always be lifted out of place rinsed off and returned.

7.Use protective mats by entrances to absorb excess liquid and dirt.
