Practical guide: How to clean a carpet effectively?

Your professional carpet needs regular cleaning. This ensures that it retains its shine, softness and durability over the years. For this, simply vacuuming the carpet is not enough. Stains need to be treated, and the right products and machines used. In this article, we explain how to clean a carpet effectively.

Why you need to clean your carpet regularly

Clean your carpet regularly to preserve it

A regular maintenance of your company carpet is the best advice we can give you. This will reduce the replacement rate of your floor covering. It's the only way to ensure that your carpet reaches its manufacturer's life expectancy. What's more, your carpet will remain supple, bright and healthy.

3 key steps to carpet care

It's important to respect the 3 levels of carpet maintenance: vacuuming, regular stain removal and annual cleaning. Please note that areas subject to the heaviest traffic, such as elevator exits or bathroom exits, should be cleaned more regularly.

Health and environmental benefits

Without proper cleaning, dust and dirt will become embedded in the fibers. This will reduce the product's lifespan and hasten the replacement of your textile floor. This risk can be eliminated by appropriate maintenance.

Pre-cleaning preparation

Initial carpet vacuuming

Before proceeding with the cleaning itself, thecarpet vacuuming is essential. Choose a brush vacuum cleaner. This type of equipment is adapted to textile coverings, and its rotating brush removes dust and allergens in depth. It also straightens and plumps the fiber. We recommend using SEBO's XP3 model, which has 100% automatic settings. This type of appliance is also recommended for regular vacuuming. As for cleaning, the busiest areas should be vacuumed 3 to 5 times a week.

Carpet stain removal

Pre-treatment of stains by stain removal will facilitate their removal. It's important to use a product adapted to the type of stain to be able to treat it effectively. At Orak, we've made this step easier with two stain removal products: Orak Spot and Orak CS. The former is suitable for grease and food stains, the latter for coffee and other difficult stains.
