Deploy Alternatives to Deep Cleaning

摘要

If you think vacuuming and deep cleaning are your only weapons against carpet soiling, prepare to add another to your arsenal. Low-moisture carpet care is familiar in the cleaning industry, but it is lesser known among building owners and facilities managers. It involves a variety of tactics and equipment, but some of the strategies can be performed by your staff. Familiarize yourself with low-moisture methods and employ them before your carpet becomes washed up. Low-moisture care refers to any type of carpet cleaning that allows fibers to dry and return to their natural state in two hours or less at approximately 65% humidity and 70 degrees R, according to the Low-Moisture Carpet Cleaning Association (LMCCA). "Carpet hides dirt - this is a weakness, not a strength," says John Holibaugh, secretary and treasurer of the LMCCA and regional sales manager at manufacturer Enviro-Solutions. "We can't see soiling until it has layered from the bottom up. Low-moisture cleaning removes soils from the top before they become embedded."
