\"\"<\/a>How much do you know about the carpet care program in your facility?\u00a0 Do you know what your custodial contractor has implemented in terms of frequency, or the type of maintenance and machines that are used on the carpets you\u2019ve invested in?\u00a0 That\u2019s right.\u00a0 Type of maintenance.\u00a0 I\u2019d bet a few of you thought hmm…there\u2019s vacuuming and steam cleaning right? Wrong.\u00a0 And in fact, the options have really changed the way many custodial teams develop their carpet maintenance programs.\u00a0 First let\u2019s be clear about steam cleaning.\u00a0 It\u2019s just that, it uses steam.\u00a0 Often times people use steam cleaning and hot water extraction interchangeably, but they are two different methods.\u00a0 If you\u2019re not sure what\u2019s happening on your carpets, start asking questions.\u00a0 Find out what\u2019s being done and how often.\u00a0 Why?\u00a0 Because each method has its pros and cons, but the latest technology, encapsulation, has quickly becoming a key element to carpet care programs, sometimes taking over the deep cleaning process entirely.\u00a0 You\u2019re intrigued right?\u00a0 Only Facility Managers answered yes to that question but that\u2019s what we\u2019re here for.\u00a0 That\u2019s why we share our experience and recommendations. \u00a0Because we\u2019re here for you, Facility Managers.\u00a0 YOU are our customers.\u00a0 And your customers, are our customers too.\u00a0 So keep reading\u2026<\/p>\n

Believe it or not, encapsulation programs have been around for about 25 years.\u00a0 It\u2019s a low moisture carpet cleaning program.\u00a0 It\u2019ll never fully replace the extraction method, but it can eliminate the need to shove water and detergent into your carpet multiple times a year. \u00a0And we love that!\u00a0 Encapsulation uses special chemicals that encapsulate and crystalize soils on the carpet. \u00a0The machine is used to agitate the carpet and chemical carrying it deep into the fibers and scrubbing in multiple directions while lifting the pile at the same time. When the product dries, removal of the stain is as simple as running a vacuum over it.\u00a0 Really.\u00a0 The final step is a vacuum.<\/p>\n

The units are less cumbersome and easy to move than typical extractors or van truck units.\u00a0 The moisture levels are low.\u00a0 The process takes less time to perform than extraction.\u00a0 And carpets are dry well before they\u2019d be dry with extraction, often is just 25 minutes.\u00a0 Yes.\u00a0 You read the right. \u00a025 minutes.\u00a0 Which makes it great for facilities that run 24\/7 or those that operate late into the night, and open very early in the morning, leaving only a short window for deep cleaning projects.\u00a0 \u00a0It\u2019s a great program and one that we truly believe in.\u00a0 Depending on the type and use of your facility, it could almost completely replace extraction.\u00a0 However, be warned, some facilities with intense traffic levels in geographical areas that are susceptible to extreme weather like snow, rain & flooding, will always need an extractor onsite and in use.\u00a0 So make sure you ask your custodial team what they\u2019re doing on your carpets.\u00a0 Or call us! We can build a carpet program tailored to your facility that meets your needs and works to extend the life of your carpets\u2026because they are one of your biggest investments!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
