Carpet cleaning and maintenance procedures

Carpets are widely used in restaurants, conference rooms and other places because of their beauty, safety, comfort, cleanliness, sound absorption and heat preservation. Because of the different fibers and structures, carpets are different in price, usable area, beauty, practicality and durability.

According to the different textile fiber materials, there are three kinds of carpets commonly used in hotels, namely chemical fiber carpet, natural fiber carpet (commonly used in hotels) and blended carpet.

Star-rated hotels generally do not lay low-grade chemical fiber carpets except for some public areas that are prone to water accumulation. In principle, star-rated hotels should choose blended carpets with a high proportion of wool fibers.

The renewal cycle of carpets is generally 5-7 years, but this does not mean that carpet maintenance can be ignored. If it is not well maintained, it will be unrecognizable within a year or two; If it is well maintained, it will still be beautiful and soft as new after five years, so in the operation of the hotel, the maintenance of carpets must not be taken lightly.

Routine cleaning and maintenance procedures for carpets are as follows:

Moreover, frequent vacuuming can reduce the times of cleaning carpets, restore the elasticity and softness of carpets and prolong their service life.
