The Importance of Vacuuming

0
0
Proper vacuuming is the easiest and most effective way to keep your carpets clean and looking their best year round. The Carpet and Rug Institute recommends you vacuum on at least a weekly basis, and on high traffic areas, vacuuming is recommended daily.
Here are a few tips for vacuuming.
  1. Don’t treat it like a race. The faster you vacuum the more you will be leaving behind.
  2. It’s all in the backstroke. The suction action of the vacuum is doing the most work when you are pulling the vacuum back towards you. The brush bar is spinning opposite of the direction you are pulling the vacuum and that is what is opening up the carpet pile to let the suction pull up the dirt that has fallen below
  3. Ensure proper airflow. The suction of a vacuum is strongest when the air is able to move freely through the vacuum. If you are using a bagged vacuum ensure the bag is no more than half full. If it is a bagless vacuum do not fill the vacuum above the fill line. Also on any vacuum check the filters to ensure smaller particles of dust are not reducing your suction power.
  4. Use the Attachments. The hard to reach corners and edges of your carpets can be easily reached by using your vacuums hose and attachments to suck up the dust and debris that has settled along the edges of your floors.
  5. Check and clean the brush bar. If you have hair and string wrapped around your brush bar you are going to reduce the effectiveness of the brush to lift and separate the carpet pile. Take a pair of scissors and cut away the mess.
Did you know that approximately 85% of the soil and dirt in your carpets is dry and can be removed through regular vacuuming? When you need to have your carpets professionally cleaned it’s the remaining 15% of oily sticky dirt that you are hiring us to remove. But of course you want 100% of the dirt removed.
We take the time before all cleans to do a thorough vacuuming before applying any product onto the carpeting. When having your carpets cleaned professionally always make sure the technicians are doing a complete pre-vacuuming, especially if they are using water. What happens when dirt and water mix? Mud and it is not something that will be removed with just one or two passes with a wand.
At the Clean Carpet Company we take pride in ensuring your carpeting gets the absolute cleanest it can be.  Call us at 636-395-0895 if you have any additional questions about keeping your carpets clean year round. Mention this post to get 1 room free when you have 3 rooms or more.
