Arena Cleanng Sevices

Keeping your carpets healthy


Dust and debris in your carpeting will add to it's general poor appearance and are a harbour for dust mites. All of our customers vac their carpeting regularly but it's important to make sure the right of choice of vacuum is used. In general terms if your carpeting is a loop pile use a machine without a brush or beater bar. Regular cleaning with a brush machine will lead to strands being loosened from the loop causing pilling and damaging the fibre. A cut pile will be fine. Vacuum regularly to prevent loose soil saturating the pile. Some find their machines performance deteriorates over time so If your machine has filters ensure they are cleaned once every 3 weeks, more often if you have pets. For a vacuum to suck it must have airflow through the filters, I find having two sets of filters eases the situation, whilst one is washed and drying a fresh one can be fitted straight away. Pre motor filters should be replaced at least once a year. Bagless vacuums will benefit having the cyclone areas 'tapped out' once a month. A small hand brush is useful. Machines that use bags. Use a fresh clean bag often even if it is not full. Particles of dust will block the the fine mesh inside bags reducing your vacuums performance. With brushes and beater bars check for debris which can wrap itself around the bristles. It's easily cleared using a pair of nail scissors to cut it clear, be careful not to cut off the bristles. When using a vacuum it's the backward stroke with upright machines that is doing the business, use the crevice tool around the edges for all those little bits of fluff. Be sure to move furniture where possible.

We recommend yearly deep cleaning with our professional cleaning service and If you have pets you may consider more frequent cleans. Regular vacuuming will extend the life of your carpeting considerably but there will still be abrasive grit deep in the pile. We empty and clean our recovery tanks after each job so be sure to ask to see the clean recovery tank before we start and then take a look afterwards. The grit and debris that has been extracted with professional cleaning can clearly be seen. It is this grit that degrades and wears the pile on your carpeting so keep you vac in good order, it will save you a fortune.
