Our three step carpet maintenance program is simple but thorough, developed with your needs in mind. Based on our customer experience, this program addresses all the possible concerns of customers looking for a truly reliable and professional carpet cleaner.

Step 1

Walk-Off Mats - Walk-off mats collect soil before it enters the building. Mats should be long enough - at least 4 steps across. Advice: vacuum daily, clean frequently, and change often.
Designated Eating, Drinking and Smoking areas - By designating areas for eating, drinking and smoking, the problems of soiling and staining are minimized.
Regular and Thorough Vacuuming – this is a vital part of any
preventive maintenance procedure. Immediate and proper vacuuming removes soil so it does not spread to other carpeted areas.

Step 2 - Management of Carpet Appearance

Maintenance Program - Extend the life of your carpet with a thorough maintenance program that will ward off known “spoilers”: dirt, pollution, grease, and stains!

Cleaning Frequency - Don’t wait until your carpets show signs of wear and tear. Our planned maintenance programs put a stop to carpet wear-out and premature carpet replacement.

Step 3 - Planned and Scheduled Programs

Vacuuming - A well-planned and consistent vacuuming schedule is indispensable to any carpet maintenance program. Vacuuming frequency should be based on high, medium and low traffic areas.
Spots and Stains - Daily and monthly spotting programs are needed to maintain the overall general appearance of your carpets. ECOInterior Maintenance has spotting kits for daily use by staff or janitorial crews.
Carpet Cleaning - low moisture carpet cleaning procedures will be used at regular scheduled intervals. The frequency will depend on traffic and soiling levels. Restorative cleaning will also be programmed to deep-clean the carpet with water extraction techniques as necessary.
