When considering an Axxios commercial carpet maintenance program, please keep the following in mind:

COMMERCIAL CARPET TEXTURE SURFACE RETENTION

Commercial carpet in heavily traveled areas receives the most wear. For better appearance and longer carpet life, try to reduce the amount of traffic on these areas or use small rugs in front of heavily used chairs or furniture. Remove and clean these rugs while vacuuming the primary carpet or rug. You should occasionally move furniture and reverse area rugs. Although some change will eventually occur in the texture of your carpet, reducing the wear on paths and in front of furniture will slow this change.

COMMERCIAL CARPET FADING OR COLOR LOSS

Give your commercial carpet the normal protection from direct sunlight that you would give to any colored fabric. Emissions from heating systems or chemicals, such as pesticides, household cleaning agents and other household items, can also result in color loss.

COMMERCIAL CARPET FILTRATION SOIL

Filtration soil may appear as dark or grayish lines on commercial carpet along walls, stairways and under doors. It is caused by airflow over and through carpet, allowing fine soils to settle on the surface. It is often caused by an improperly balanced ventilation system, when the volume of air entering a room exceeds the system's capacity to remove air from the room. Excess air then seeks exit sources in gaps along walls and stairways. Prevent the airflow through carpet and carpet edges by sealing openings through the commercial carpet and under doors and baseboards. Keeping the air in the area clean and using good filtration in your heating and cooling systems and commercial vacuum cleaners can help. Filtration soils may require special cleaning treatment for effective removal.

COMMERCIAL CARPET ODOR

During and immediately following the installation of your new commercial carpet, there may be a slight odor, which may result from the removal of your old commercial carpet and cushion or from the new commercial carpet, cushion, adhesives or seaming tape. Ventilation with fresh air is recommended. Ideally, windows and doors should be opened, and the HVAC system should be operated at maximum capacity for 48 to 72 hours.

COMMERCIAL CARPET SOILING

Maintain the beauty of your commercial carpet by cleaning it regularly before it becomes excessively soiled. Dirty, airborne particles may be deposited on commercial carpet, causing dulling. Dulling is caused by the deposits of all types of soil. For example, a delicate rose color may gradually become a neutral taupe because of soil, while light blue may take on a dull, gray-green hue. Red clay soil also can cause a pronounced change in some colors. In spite of such phenomena, the original color of a commercial carpet is not lost; it is still present under the soil. Oily soil may be very difficult to remove after it has been on the commercial carpet for a long time, and it may be actually absorbed into the fiber, causing the carpet to have a yellow cast. Frequent commercial carpet cleanings are important to avoid this problem. Entry mats at doorways trap soil, and combined with routine commercial cleaning and vacuuming, provide extra protection for all commercial carpeting.
