Vacuums for Carpet Tiles

Vacuums for Carpet Tiles and Carpet Planks as recommended by Flooring Manufacturers

It can be confusing trying to work out which vacuums for carpet tiles actually work. Commercial flooring manufacturers agree that vacuum cleaner performance will directly affect the longevity and presentation of the commercial carpet. Vacuuming should be done using a quality vacuum cleaner featuring a power head. Preferably one with dual motors (one motor powering the brush to agitate pile and the second motor providing strong suction). Therefore an Upright!

The carpets maintenance program should be considered as part of the buying decision – from the very start. If proper maintenance is neglected, the carpets appearance and performance will suffer, shortening the carpets useful life and raising long-term costs.

Vacuums must have tools that can access edges and hidden areas. A requirement for vacuum filtration systems (according to Australian Standard AS/NZS 3733-1995) is that vacuums must be capable of filtering 97.5% of dust to 0.5 microns.

Vacuum bags should be disposable.

Commercial Flooring without the flaws

Cleaning Commercial Flooring

Aesthetics and comfort are likely to rank high on the agenda when selecting floorcoverings for commercial installations. Nevertheless, these are not the only considerations; maintenance and long-term performance will almost certainly be seen as key issues when it comes to determining the final specification, especially when sustainability and whole life costs are brought into the equation. So Cleaning Commercial Flooring needs to be a well planned process.

Carpet v Hard Floor

Considerable controversy exists over whether smooth floors or carpets are the easier maintenance option. In reality, both have their place, but with a good cleaning regime, carpet will retain its appearance and be as hygienic as any other flooring material – it holds the dust, grime and associated bacteria in place, rather than allowing it to float into the air to be inhaled. From a health and safety perspective, carpet is soft should falls occur, and non-slip even when liquid is spilt. It also offers comfort underfoot and is an inherently sound-absorbent material, ideal where acoustics are an issue.

Upright v Backpack v Barrel

With a good upright vacuum cleaner, carpet maintenance is very easy. Models with strong suction and motor driven brushes are the most effective for carpets as they groom and lift the pile and remove dirt far more effectively than back pack and suction only cylinder cleaners. A variety of height settings on good quality upright vacuum cleaners allow adjustment to different pile heights and constructions. On certain models, an electronic guide for brush height ensures optimum cleaning results and a longer brush life.

A well-designed upright vacuum cleaner offers the benefits of manoeuvrability, controllability and overall ease of use. Uprights offer a very high level of productivity, can clean a carpeted floor rapidly and, as the brush roller agitates the pile, it is always done thoroughly. If the upright is used in a systematic way, such as overlapping one-pass sweeps, the floor area is cleaned quickly and efficiently, saving considerably on time-related costs.

Matting and then there’s matting

Commercial cleaning is a regular task that must be conducted to the highest standards. Any cleaning regime will depend on the usage of particular areas and should take account of the fact that, when carpet is walked on, any dirt or grit trapped in the pile will be crushed against the fibres causing premature wear and matting. This is a particular problem at entrances and other heavily-used areas, so daily vacuuming is advisable in these locations. Entrance mats to protect carpeted areas are always sensible, and it is vital that these are regularly vacuumed too.

Dry v Wet Commercial Floor Cleaning

For removing soiling that a vacuum cleaner cannot pick up, carpet cleaning powder (also known as compound) is ideal. This consists of micro-sponges which contain a safe solvent for greasy soiling, a neutral shampoo for non-greasy soiling, and an anti-re-soilant to delay re-soiling. The powder may be used in conjunction with a brushing machine which works the powder deep into the pile and around every fibre, in the process absorbing soilage. Unlike wet cleaning agents, which result in problems such as carpet shrinkage, adhesive damage, smell and long periods where the area cannot be used due to lengthy drying times, powder is simply vacuumed away leaving the carpet clean, soft and fresh.
