Understanding is the major issue involved in maintaining any facility, small, medium or large. The majority of customers concerns would be cleanliness, hygiene, image and safety. As with any business, facility owners and managers desire to give the best to their clients at the same time maintaining their budgets. With experience and much research we have determined that there are 6 parameters that need to be covered.

The cleaning services provided are instituted efficiently and effectively. The carpets or areas cleaned must be fast drying, with a pleasant odor, hypoallergenic, and to be completed at a fair and reasonable price. With the advances of technology, service providers must be prepared to let go of old, antiquated, inefficient ways and ideas, and embrace new, efficient and Environmentall Human-friendly practices.

Current Situation

Cleaning chemicals can create problems.
We want to minimize risk to ourselves and our associates.
We need to use kinder and gentler products for cleaning and disinfecting.
While still producing a clean, safe product
Exemplifies the need to go GREEN and HEALTHY.

New Questions:

Will the chemical be effective in cracks, crevices, or on porous surfaces?
Will contact with the treated surface put people at risk?
Are the chemicals being used, compatible?
Will the residue left on the surface be of any consequence?
Will the chemical, over time, build up or degrade the surface being cleaned?

Simple Human and Environmentally Positive Cleaning in Two Easy Steps.

[/av_textblock]

[av_textblock size=” font_color=” color=” custom_class=”]

Firstly, Let us deal with Chemistry with Simple and Easy Definitions

Soaps are made by combining a Fat or an Oil with a Powerful Alkali.
Alkalis are a water soluble caustic metal, usually Potassium or Sodium.
Detergents are a Synthetic cleaning agent containing surfactants that do not precipitate in hard water and have the ability to emulsify oil and suspend dirt.
Surfactants are surface-active ingredients or wetting agents that reduce the surface tension of a liquid in which it is dissolved and allows for bonding of the liquid to a solid surface.

[av_textblock size=” font_color=” color=” custom_class=”]

Deterrent to Detergents- In general, detergents contain:

Surfactants
Builders
Emulsifiers (solvents)

[/av_textblock]

[av_textblock size=” font_color=” color=” custom_class=”]

Detergents work by:

Reducing surface tension
Emulsifying oils
Agglomerating soils

One of the biggest problems with all known surfactants are their aquatic toxicity, and skin irritation properties. They also create synergistic reactions with other pollutants in the environment. They will enhance skin absorption of other ingredients in cleaning products contributing to dermatitis etc.

The understanding is that the chemicals we are exposed to will eventually become part of our body chemistry. A recent CDC report found over 147 industrial chemicals and pesticides in the blood and urine of 5000 volunteers. It is far safer to limit the chemicals we are exposed to and what we expose the environment to.

Secondly, let’s look at the future of Extraction.

Carpet Perceived Negatives:

Represent a substantial investment.
Are viewed as a germ and dirt trap.
If not maintained properly can contribute to poor indoor air quality.
Can wear out prematurely with incorrect maintenance procedures.

Carpet Facts:

Mold and germs can occur on any surface.
Mold only exists where there is moisture and dirt, coupled with poor cleaning and maintenance habits.
Carpet does not present a risk to indoor air quality.
Any emissions from new carpet, dissipate within 48 hours or faster with proper ventilation.
Keep allergens from becoming airborne.
Allergens trapped in carpets can be removed by proper vacuuming techniques.

Carpet Positive:

Add warmth and is soft under feet.
Quieter than any hard floor.
Comes in a variety of colours, tones and styles.
Easy to decorate with.
Can hide many surface imperfections.
With proper maintenance can last beautifully for many years.

[/av_textblock]

[av_textblock size=” font_color=” color=” custom_class=”]

Why use Carpets?

Analyzing and comparing all living conditions, Carpet makes for a healthier home or facility. The dust load in the air is substantially reduced compared to any hard floor.
All things being equal-only if proper cleaning systems are employed and maintained on a Consistent basis.

Carpet Maintenance Guidelines

Reduction of Soil entering building
Removal of Dry Soil
Treatment and removal of spots and spills
Cleaning

Reduction of Soils Entering Building

The importance of the Quality and Proper placement of Walk-off Mats and Water Absorbent Mats in the removal of dirt, oil and contaminants off of shoes before anything can be tracked through the building CAN NOT be Underestimated.
Quality of mats is important as cheaper mats will not stand up to the demands of a commercial location and are therefore a poor investment.
Walk off mats will greatly reduce the amount of soil entering a building from the front entrance.
At any point where there is direct contact to the outside and from kitchen floors to a carpeted restaurant area.
As a wet carpet acts like a giant shoe cleaner, a water absorbent mat will prevent any moisture from getting to the carpet.
Best application is soil removal mat first followed by water absorbent mat.

[av_textblock size=” font_color=” color=” custom_class=”]

Removal of Dry Soil

Vacuuming is the most significant element in the maintenance of carpet and the overall appearance of the facility.
Research has shown that 85% of soil tracked into a building is dry, and the other 15% is oily.
Vacuums are designed to control this soil.
Frequent vacuuming extracts particulate soil from the surface before it has a chance to be worked down into the pile.

How Dry Soil can Damage Carpet

Carpet is a polished plastic or natural fibre thread.
Continuous movement of soils will score fibres reducing their life.

Need for Pilelifting

Due to the use of dry powders, foams, shampooing and spin bonnet cleaning, many carpets are being replaced prematurely due to the damage and residues left behind by these antiquated and inefficient extraction systems.
Regular use of a pile lifter can remove deeply embedded dry sand and soil and open up the pile in order to make cleaning more effective.

[av_textblock size=” font_color=” color=” custom_class=”]

Treatment of Spots and Spills

Identify the spot or problem.
Clean up Loose Debris.
If Wet, Extract with Water.
If Dry, Vacuum.
Apply Treatment.
With Cloth Work towards Centre.
Blot with Clean Towel.
Fold Towel, Lay over spot and add Weight.
Leave until spot wicks into cloth.

[av_textblock size=” font_color=” color=” custom_class=”]

Shampoo and Spin Bonnet Systems

Average weight 130 lbs.
Rotating at 75 – 150 RPM.
Due to the use of dry powders, foams, shampooing and spin bonnet cleaning, many carpets are being replaced prematurely due to the damage and residues left behind by these antiquated and inefficient extraction systems.
Carpet manufacturers do not recommend this process to maintain carpets.

High Pressure Hot Water Rinse.

High Pressure excellent for POWER WASHING.
Maximum pressure allowable 100psi.
Carpet manufacturers do not recommend this pressure to be exceeded.

High Flow, Low Pressure Rinse.

Extremely effective in flushing out deeply embedded soils.
Uses only water to rinse.
Carpet Manufacturer approved method of cleaning.
Pressures and flows regulated to 60 psi at 1 to 3 gpm.
High volume of water saturates therefore can damage carpet over time.
