Welcome to VACUUMMING 101
Proper vacuuming is the easiest and most effective way to keep your carpet clean and beautiful. Something as simple as vacuuming can also have a tremendous impact on the air you and your family breathe-removing loose soils while they lay on top of your carpets and rugs helps prevent them from becoming airborne during normal household activity…GREEN CLEANING begins with Proper Vacuuming. Vacuuming also maintains the luster and pile density keeping flooring textiles beautiful and comfortable!
From our friends at the Carpet and Rug Institute (carpet-rug.org):
How to vacuum
On carpet, use slow, repetitive front-to-back motions in an overlapping sequence. A quick once over doesn’t do much. On the other hand, don’t press down or make too many passes over the same spot. Instead, move slightly to the left or right about every four strokes.
To get the most out of your vacuuming regime, remember these few easy tips:
- When vacuuming, don’t ignore those corners and crevices where dust builds.
- “Top-down” cleaning saves you the step of vacuuming again after dusting. Dust blinds, windowsills, and furniture surfaces first and then vacuum away any fallen dust.
- Remember to remove and replace or empty vacuum bags when they are half to two-thirds full.
