Carpet and Tile Cleaning Tips
Carpet and tile cleaning is an essential part of maintaining the beauty of any carpeted surface. We carry a large selection of Bonnets, Machines, chemicals, and more to keep your Carpet and tile clean. Unlike traditional carpet, where you have to lift and replace the entire floor covering, with carpet tiles it is much easier to replace individual soiled or damaged tiles.
That said, you must take some time to maintain your carpet tile surfaces to prolong their life. Vacuuming regularly is essential and the same rules apply for carpet tiles as any other type of commercial carpeting – a regular thorough vacuuming with a good quality industrial-style vacuum is required to get rid of the majority of dirt particles. High-traffic areas need to be vacuumed daily, moderately traveled areas two to three times per week, and the perimeter and edges of your carpet tiles weekly.

If a particular area of your carpet tile becomes heavily soiled or stained, it is recommended that you use a spot treatment product on the affected tile. Most manufacturers recommend a gentle cleaner and water, or a solvent cleaner such as alcohol or acetone. Be sure to test any cleaning solution on an inconspicuous area of the tile before using it and always thoroughly rinse any spot treatment from your carpet tile with fresh, clean water. When blotting any type of stain on your Summit Cleaning, you want to press firmly not rub. For example, felt marker pens should be washed with warm water, coffee with a mild detergent, and alcohol or acetone will remove most stains from cigarette burns.
In addition to the above tips, some manufacturers of carpet tiles may recommend the use of protective mats at entrances to prevent tracked-in snow and salt from causing damage or discoloration to their flooring products. It is also a good idea to place some doormats at all exits to absorb excess moisture that could otherwise be tracked into your carpet tile flooring.
