Dirt containment requires effective barrier systems including exterior

sweeping and walk-off matting as essential first lines of defense in an

effective carpet maintenance system. Tracked-in soils present threats

to both carpeting and health. Some are allergens. Some are tacky and

attract more soils. And some are quite abrasive.

Debris that collects outside building entrances will find its way inside if

allowed to build up. Keeping all entrance areas swept is a simple and

easy way to reduce the soil load inside of buildings.

Oil on greasy parking lots adheres to shoe leather then transfers to

carpet pile, especially in high-traffic and shoe-pivot areas. Once

transferred, the gummy consistency collects additional soils. In

addition, asphalt residues tracked onto carpet create a

"yellowing/browning" condition that is difficult if not impossible to

remove especially on olefin carpet. Walk-off mats reduce these threats

and help keep carpet clean longer.

Grit a significant threat to carpet’s appearance over the long run coats

all external surfaces in great abundance. The reason is this substance;

a microscopic rock has many sharp, jagged, cutting edges. Tiny as it

is, it scratches, gouges, and grinds carpet pile yarn, especially under

body weight and shoe leather. Over time, when grit is tracked in, it

abrades pile yarn’s polished finish, causing carpeting to appear dull

and unattractive, and causing yarn damage that cleaning cannot repair.

Exterior sweeping and properly maintained walk-off mats will greatly

reduce the grit threat.

Dry soil removal is accomplished through vacuuming. Proper,

frequent vacuuming is important for a variety of reasons: Particulate

soils should be captured before they filter down below the carpet’s

surface where they are much more difficult to remove. Particulate soils

that accumulate at the carpet backing contribute to future surface-

soiling problems because they tend to wick to the surface after interim

maintenance cleaning. Careful vacuuming helps to control the

accumulation of yarn-damaging grit.

A variety of safe and effective vacuuming tools are available. The most

common problems with dry soil removal relate to inadequate vacuum

maintenance. These problems include 1) vacuum heads not set to the

proper level, 2) belts in need of replacement, and 3) vacuum bags that

are nearly or completely filled and as a consequence the vacuum’s

effectiveness is dramatically reduced.

In addition, facilities cleaning staff often haven’t been taught how to

vacuum properly and are often expected to vacuum too much

carpeting in too little time. The end result is that carpeting is not

vacuumed properly and only visible debris is removed

The most common complaints about spots on carpeting are “We

remove the spot, but they keep coming back,” and “The spot won’t

come out.” Why do spots reappear? Frequently the substance that

causes the spot penetrates all the way to the carpet backing but only

the surface is cleaned. Consequently, the substance below the

surface wicks back after cleaning. The other reason is that the

spotting chemical leaves behind a soil-attracting residue that is not

rinsed away. Left in the carpet, it attracts soil and becomes a dirty

spot.

Why don’t all spots come out? Some seemingly un-removable spots

can be removed if the right chemical is used. Different spots require

different spot-removal agents. Another reason is that spots are

permitted to remain in carpeting too long and bond with the fiber.

Spots should be removed as soon as possible after they occur.

Finally, some beverages can dye some types of carpeting. Removal

of these spots involves the use of special cleaning agents and should

only be attempted by specially trained technicians. The solution to

spotting problems require:

• a regular, scheduled spot removal program

• the use of proper spotting procedures and products

• a designated carpet spot removal specialist with special training to

tackle tough-to-remove spots

Carpet in high-traffic areas must be cleaned more frequently.

Otherwise, the buildup of damaging soils will abrade the fibers and

leave permanent, ugly traffic patterns. Proper traffic-area maintenance

can increase carpet life by up to 50 percent. This, in turn, will greatly

reduce carpet-replacement costs. Frequent cleaning of high-traffic

areas, using a cleaning method that removes not just surface soil but

also the grit that builds up beneath the surface and causes premature

wear is an integral part of an effective carpet maintenance program.

The objective of most carpet cleaning methods is merely to improve

appearance. They clean one dimension, the surface. Because surface

cleaning cannot deep clean and rinse, it leaves embedded soils and

chemical residues behind. Over time these substances build up until

the carpet is compacted with filth from surface to backing. The result is

rapid re-soiling and a steady decline in appearance.

Periodic deep cleaning is needed to prolong carpet life. AllMighty

Cleans’ High-Flow Extraction is designed to clean all three dimensions

of the carpet: the surface, between the fibers, and all the way down to

the backing. It removes both imbedded soils and chemical residues

simply and easily.

The effectiveness of every cleaning tool or process is dependent upon

the skill and know-how of the operator. An effective system requires in-

service training both at the time of implementation of CMA and

periodically thereafter as new designated staff are brought onboard. Too

often training is neglected by cleaning contractors and facilities

managers alike. This is a mistake with potentially huge consequences in

lost productivity. It is critical that sufficient time be set aside for in-

service training.

An effective in-service training program will have at least five elements:

1. Explain the purpose of the tool or process, how it works, and how it

fits into the overall carpet care system being implemented.

2. Demonstrate proper application of the tool or process.

3. All cleaning staff should have an opportunity for hands-on use of the

tool or application of the process with an instructor present.

4. Equipment cleanup and maintenance. This is a very important but

often neglected part of the training process. It should be a stand-alone

part of the training.

5. “Bull” session at the end. Designated staff often will be reluctant to

speak up or ask questions at first for fear of appearing “stupid.” By

waiting until the end for a semiformal “bull” session, the instructor will

have the opportunity to establish rapport with the staff and to observe

the skills and limitations of the participants. Questions and input are

more likely and answers more effective when time is set aside at the

end of the training.

Dirt does not accumulate in carpet evenly. Certain identifiable areas

such as entryways, food service areas, and areas adjacent to hard-

surface floors will accumulate more soil more quickly. These areas

typically constitute only about 20 percent of the overall carpet floor

area, yet they account for up to 80 percent or more of the overall soil

load.

Development of a maintenance schedule that strategically allocates

resources to those areas that get dirty first and most will result in

cleaner, more healthful facilities. In addition, it will enable budget

conscious facility managers to increase productivity by maximizing the

effectiveness of their staff’s cleaning efforts.

In addition a periodic review between facility managers designated In-

House staff and cleaning contractors will help to streamline and

customize efforts. Occasionally it will become clear that certain areas

will require more resource allocation than expected and vice versa.

Therefore, good lines of communications and a partnership approach

between all involved entities should be encouraged.
