Why a Maintenance Program?

The benefits of an on-going carpet maintenance program are:

Lower Price

It takes considerably more time to restore a carpet than it does to maintain one. Carpet maintenance programs also afford the contractor many schedule efficiencies compared to restorative cleaning. It is for these reasons that carpet maintenance programs are very cost effective.

Better Appearance

One of the biggest benefits of a carpet maintenance program is that it allows you to maintain a very high appearance level on a consistent basis because carpets are cleaned more often in the high traffic areas.

Longer Lasting Carpets

Carpet maintenance programs not only improve the appearance level of the carpet, but a good program will also extend the useful life of the carpet.

Cleaner Air Quality

Confronted with problems such as indoor air quality and "sick building syndrome," many facility managers are looking for ways to eliminate the source of these problems rather than relying on expensive ventilation systems. In his new book "Cleaning for Health," Dr. Michael Berry of the EPA states that soiled carpets definitely have an impact on indoor air quality. Therefore, cleaner carpets translate into cleaner air.

Warranty

Many carpet manufacturers now insist on a regular maintenance program in order to keep the warranty effective.

"Carpets cleaned on a restorative basis will, as a rule, ugly out before they wear out."
