Vacuuming Schedule and Tips REGULAR VACUUMING SCHEDULE TRAFFIC AMOUNT CLEANING AREA NUMBER OF PASSES CLEANING RATE Light Traffic Lanes 3-5 Daily Light Overall 1-3 Weekly Moderate Traffic Lanes 5-7 Daily Moderate Overall 5-7 Twice Daily Heavy Traffic Lanes 5-7 Daily Heavy Overall 5-7 Daily Vacuuming Hints: As in all cleaning procedures, the first step is to gather the recommended janitorial equipment together and transport it to the area to be cleaned. Keep brushes clean. Replace them when worn. Be sure the belt is in good condition and the beater bar/brush actually rotates when in contact with the carpet. Never allow the soil bag to become more that ¾ full. The more soil in the bag, the less suction the vacuum has. This makes soil recovery difficult. Vacuum ACROSS the traffic pattern occasionally to prevent matting. Timely Tips: The best way to prolong the life of your carpet is to develop a well-planned maintenance program. Whether you’re managing a single or multi-building complex, this maintenance plan can save you time and money. Here are some “timely tips” to help make your maintenance plan efficient and successful: Preventive maintenance is the best care for carpet. Use an upright vacuum cleaner regularly. For recommended usage, see the article on “Vacuuming Rooms and Corridors”. An upright vacuum is best. Tank or canister types should have a separate beater bar or brush unit. Frequent removal of loose soil will extend carpet life and postpone wet cleaning. Check the vacuum cleaner belts, motor and beater bar/brush often. The effectiveness of a vacuum depends on a clean, properly rotating brush. Never allow your vacuum cleaner bag to become more than three-fourths full. Clean carpet before it looks dirty. Change filters in your heating and air-conditioning systems regularly. Both the carpet and the entire building will stay cleaner longer. Place walk-off mats at every entrance.
