Excess cleaning chemicals can exacerbate re-soiling, while over-saturating the carpet can causes odors and even mold issues.<\/p>\n

More is not better<\/h3>\n

In the past the thinking has been \u2018more is better\u2019 \u2014 and we\u2019ve all been guilty of this. But when we load these carpets up with chemicals, we tend to see re-soiling happening more quickly.\u00a0 This degrades the appearance of the carpet a lot sooner than it should.<\/p>\n

In addition to following equipment manufacturer\u2019s instructions for chemical usage, consultants advise users to rinse chemicals from the carpet thoroughly following hot water extraction, as well as low moisture options \u2014 particularly when applying the cleaning product to the carpet via the machine\u2019s tank. The same holds true for interim cleaning methods such as encapsulation.<\/p>\n

An encapsulation system<\/h3>\n

When you use an encapsulation system, it\u2019s important to remove the compound because, if you don\u2019t, it will take the dirt off your shoes and leave it in the carpet.<\/p>\n

Just as chemicals need to be removed thoroughly from the carpet after cleaning, custodians need to recover as much water as possible from the carpet and avoid over-wetting it. This is a mistake that often occurs when dealing with high-traffic areas or stubborn stains.<\/p>\n

Make sure that you get the carpet dry, preferably in four to six hours. Beyond 24 hours, you run the risk of mold growing.<\/p>\n

Air movement<\/h3>\n

Air movement and carpet blowers can help to speed up the process. Staff should also check that carpet equipment is in good working order. A clogged vacuum, for instance, may not recover water properly, resulting in longer dry times. Jets should also be flushed on a regular basis to ensure that they don\u2019t get clogged.<\/p>\n

A lot of times, custodians turn on the machine and hear the vacuum or pump and assume it\u2019s working. But just because it\u2019s making noise doesn\u2019t mean it\u2019s working properly. You want to inspect it regularly to make sure you\u2019re getting proper flow of the jets and proper suction of the vacuum.<\/p>\n

In addition, tanks should be emptied and rinsed after each use and allowed to air dry to avoid odor problems caused by bacterial growth.<\/p>\n
