Romco e-Catalogue 2019

Proper Specification: 1. Carpet Colour - In heavy traffic areas such as entrances, a darker colour will retain its appearance longer. 2. Survey Your Facility and determine heavy, medium and light soil traffic areas and choose your carpet accordingly. Heavy - Outside entrances, corridors, elevator lobbies, stairways and main aisles. Medium - Secondary aisles, office spaces, meeting rooms and atriums. Light - Back offices, conference rooms, executive areas. 3. Preventative Maintenance - For long term appearance, plan areas to trap soil before it reaches the carpet. Provide adequate walk-off matting at all building entrances. These should be used year round for wiping soil and water. Routine Cleaning - Vacuuming 1. Equipment - Use a dual motor upright vacuum with a beater- bar or brushes with high suction. Because the carpet is highly abrasion resistant, low settings are acceptable. 2. Method - Slow deliberate vacuum-passes are more effective. A minimum of four passes, forward and back, are recommended for effective dirt removal. 3. Frequency Carpet Area Vacuuming Heavy Traffic Daily Medium Traffic Every other day Light Traffic Once or twice a week Spots & Stains 1. Remove spills and stains immediately. 2. Solid substances should be removed first with a spoon. 3. Liquid spots can be dabbed with white blotting paper, repeat the dabbing until blotting paper is no longer wet. 4. If spot is still visible, use a carpet spot remover, (with as little as possible) and dab spot simultaneously with wet cloth or sponge. 5. Never use commercial stain removers which could penetrate through the backing and damage the carpet. 6. Do not walk on the wet spot. 7. For more difficult stains, contact your sales representative. If possible, establish a ‘hot line’ for employees to call for an immediate response to spills. Spot cleaning should be done daily. The best time to identify stains is during regular vacuuming. Deep Cleaning - Restoring 1. Equipment - Hot water extraction is the most effective method of removing deep soil. Units with heavy water pressure (PSI) and strong suction (water lift) are recommended for best results. Water temperature should not exceed 160 oF. 2. Method - When extracting, do not ‘over wet’ the carpet and extract as much water as possible with dry passes following the final wet pass. Avoid cleaning chemicals which leave residues. Remaining residue can attract soil and cause more frequent cleaning. 3. Frequency Carpet Area Hot Water Extraction Heavy Traffic Minimum four times per year Medium Traffic Minimum twice per year Light Traffic Once per year Monitoring Your Carpet Do a walk through inspection of all areas monthly. For optimum appearance and protection of your carpet, it may be necessary to adjust the frequencies of vacuuming, spot cleaning and extraction.
