A clean carpet will give people a warm and natural feeling. Correct cleaning and maintenance methods and appropriate cleaning supplies can extend the service life of carpets.
Reasons why carpets are easily stained
Carpet dirt can be roughly divided into two categories, namely wet dirt and dry dirt. Oily dirt accounts for 15% and dry dirt accounts for 85%. When we come in from the outside, we bring both kinds of dirt in with us. As people move around, this dirt often settles to the bottom of the carpet, where it accumulates and eventually needs to be removed with a vacuum cleaner. Because wet dirt is sticky, it will stick to the carpet, so it requires specialized cleaning equipment and cleaning agents.
How to maintain hotel carpets
1.Vacuuming: It is a cleaning task that must be done once or multiple times a day. It can suck away about 80% of the dust on the carpet surface. Using a vacuum cleaner can not only remove dust and grit from the carpet, but also reduce the number of times the carpet is washed and restore the elasticity of the carpet fibers, thereby extending the service life of the carpet.
2.Ensure the carpet is dry: If due to certain circumstances (such as water leakage, sprinkling, etc.) or after the carpet is washed, the doors and windows must be opened to allow for good ventilation to dry the carpet. If the carpet has too much moisture due to special circumstances such as water leakage, you must first use a water suction machine to repeatedly After treatment, open doors and windows for ventilation or use a carpet dryer to dry it.

After cleaning and water (dust) absorption processes, it will take about 4 hours. , the carpet can be used normally.
5. Thorough cleaning: The main method is to use an extraction machine with a carpet cleaning agent (low-foaming agent) to strongly penetrate and decompose, and absorb the stains with strong water absorption. Generally, a highly volatile low-foaming carpet agent is used. After about five hours, the carpet can be returned to normal use and the carpet will be restored, giving people the fluffy, soft and fresh feeling again.
Everyone should keep in mind that the carpet itself is closed, and moisture is not easy to circulate and evaporate in the air during cleaning. If you choose a low-foam carpet agent with poor volatility, it is very likely to cause the hemp layer at the bottom of the carpet to deteriorate and become moldy, resulting in strange The smell will directly affect the guest's feelings, thereby affecting the hotel's operation. This is something that must be paid attention to during the carpet cleaning operation.
