The selection of carpet is a major design consideration for commercial and institutional environments.The selection of carpet is a major design consideration for commercial and institutional environments. Choosing the right carpet lays the foundation for all other interior contract finishes, creating a coordinated visual and tactile effect. Because carpet is the most abused textile, its selection must not only be viewed in aesthetic terms, but also in its ability to meet the demands of time and traffic.

Architects and interior designers consider a variety of criteria when specifying carpeting, such as:

  • Type of construction
  • Gauge
  • Density
  • Pile Height
  • Weight
  • Fiber Type
  • Dye Process
  • Primary and secondary backings
  • Installation Method

To ensure that your carpeting sustains its appearance over time, aesthetic and performance considerations must be balanced with precise maintenance procedures. Our cleaning solutions protect the carpet fibers from rapidly re-soiling, which occurs from traditional carpet cleaning methods. The results are the soil's easier release from the fibers during nightly vacuuming and your carpet retaining a cleaner appearance longer. The exclusive products Corporate Care employs leave no residuals and are detergent free.

Corporate Care Makes Vacuuming More Effective.

The carpet maintenance program you choose has a tremendous impact on how your carpet will look in the years ahead. Soils, whether visible or not, will permanently ruin a carpet if not correctly removed, even on a daily basis. Because carpet is a textile, it absorbs and accumulates soils in one of three ways: soil is tracked in, deposited from the air, or spilled. The type of soil (dry, oily or wet), and the manner in which it invades the carpet, affects the ease of removal. Most cleaning firms offer only limited methods of carpet cleaning. But in order to enhance the lifetime and beauty of your floor coverings, your carpet maintenance company should offer you the correct protective measures, such as restorative maintenance or various flexible preventative maintenance processes.

Carpet Wear and Tear.

Without the Corporate Care System™ carpeting will lose its initial uniform appearance through soiling and/or constant traffic, even with an effective walk-off matting system. We provide solutions to the damaging soil accumulation which occurs through a phenomenon known as "oil bonding". The oily silica components of tracked-in and environmental soils literally bond to the carpet fibers. These oily residues, initially invisible, attract and hold gritty particles and airborne soils. Nightly vacuuming becomes less and less effective over time in removing these soils.
