Would you use the family car to haul a load of bricks?
As crazy as it would be to haul bricks with the family car — cleaning a dense commercial glue down carpet using a "residential" cleaning process is equally crazy.
Cleaning a commercial carpet as if it were a residential carpet simply isn't a good fit. Yet that's the way it's been done for years. No wonder there's been so much frustration maintaining commercial carpet.
Commercial glue down carpets are different
- Densely packed fiber (limited airflow)
- Glued to the floor (limited airflow)
- Often matted/crushed fiber (limited airflow)
- Often olefin/polypropylene fiber (naturally wicks)
- Wicking & recurring spill stains
- Dinginess of traffic lanes
- Carpets "ugly out" before they wear out
Recurring spill stains can be a nightmare
