March 5th, 2007

Now there is a big choice of carpets for any type of premises. Carpets do more cosy not only apartments, but also offices, therefore it is necessary to pay special attention to ways of care of them. Many large companies spend millions dollars for creation of corporate image. But incorrectly chosen program on carpet cleaning can essentially impair a little an image of firm.
Cleaning of the carpet without cleaning techniques knowledge is insufficiently effective: carpet coverings quickly wear out. And in fact for last 30 years the technology of their cleaning was considerably improved. Thus, first of all, the professional cleaner pays attention to structure of carpet covering.
In a greater part of the Europe woolen and half-woolen carpet coverings are widely used. It is considered, that the traditional woolen covering has advantages before synthetic one: it does not accumulate a static electricity and provides comfort with the softness. Its only lack is its leaky bearing against the floor.
In America and Russia synthetic carpet coverings are very popular. Constantly improving, the synthetic carpet covering becomes more attractive and more antistatic.
The higher the maintenance of natural fibres in a carpet is, the more difficult cleaning will be. The carpet from natural fibres detains dirt more actively than synthetic carpet does.
Pile and coloring
The density of pile considerably influences methods of carpet cleaning. The more densely pile is, the more dirty pieces will remain on its surface. The carpet of high quality can detain up to one kilogram of dirt on each square meter, and its pollution will be imperceptible. Usually basic store of dirt is the top part of pile is approximately 30 percent of its length.
The majority of carpets are resistant to acids. Average concentration acid means rinse improves color of the carpet, softens it and prolongs term of exploitation. Many cleaning carpets means have an alkaline basis. Their constant use is reflected in brightness of paints and can lead to partial loss of color. It is necessary to be especially close at work with multi-color carpets as coloring one part of a carpet in color borders is possible.
