17 Specialty Vacuums Vacuuming is perhaps the most under-rated and under-performed task related to proper carpet care maintenance. Vacuuming can remove up to 90% of dirt particles from a carpet. Choosing the proper tool for the job is critical. Because the process of vacuuming disturbs and lifts dust, bacteria and allergens from the fibers of the carpet, a HEPA type media filter should be used to trap all of the soil and dust within the vacuum. A carpet must not only look clean but must be hygienically clean. Step 1: Preventive Maintenance 70% of all dirt is tracked into buildings from the outdoors by way of foot traffic. If dirt is trapped at the door before it reaches carpet areas, cleaning time, labour dollars and health risks can be reduced. Step 2: Vacuuming Vacuuming can remove up to 90% of dirt from a carpet. Unlike hard flooring, carpet is three dimensional and has the depth and ability to hide dirting. Carpet can trap and hold up to 1 lb. of dirt per square foot before it starts looking dirty. Step 3: Spot Removal There is no such thing as a stain-proof carpet. Carpets treated with stain protection are designed to slow down the absorption of liquids into the carpet fibers, making it easier to clean and allowing more time to attend to it. The longer you wait to remove a spot, the more difficult it will be. HEPA Media Filter HEPA media filters are most commonly known for their use in vacuum cleaners. These filters are simply meant to filter the air traveling between the appliance and the air. They are designed to filter allergens and improve the overall efficiency of the appliance. The Tracker and Fast Track filter the air twice before it exits the vacuum; with both models using a HEPA Media Filter.
