Maintaining Carpet Tile Products
To contribute to the length of time your carpet tiles will give you a high level of performance, you can undertake regular maintenance on them. Maximizing the lifespan of these heavy duty carpet squares often is as simple as keeping them as clean as possible.- Vacuuming. Vacuuming the tiles removes soil and particles from deep in the fibers. It also restores the pile height. Heavy traffic areas should be vacuumed daily, while medium and light traffic areas can be vacuumed once or twice a week.
- Cleaning. A wet carpet cleaning several times a year loosens stubborn soils and returns the carpet closer to its original color. When wet cleaning the carpet tiles, you have to take care that you don’t oversaturate the fibers, which can cause shrinkage.
- Catch-all mats. If you use rubber entry mats and thick entryway carpet mats at the doorway to your commercial building, people entering from outdoors can remove some of the dirt, debris, and moisture from their shoes, keeping it away from the main carpeted areas.
By using all of these maintenance methods, fewer contaminants will be embedded in the carpeting inside the building, which keeps the carpet tiles in a good condition for a longer period of time, giving them greater longevity.
