Santa Fe Floor Care

We repeatedly tell our clients that regular vacuuming and professional cleaning are the best ways to prevent premature wear of carpets and rugs. Sometimes our clients ask whether there’s such a thing as vacuuming too much. Here are a few pointers to help you keep your carpets and rugs looking great for years to come without inadvertently causing premature damage.

Do you have a good air filtration system?

The biggest reason carpets and rugs need to be vacuumed is because of dirt and grime tracked in on the bottoms of shoes. The second biggest reason is dust. Ideally, you want to get rid of dust before it settles on your carpets and rugs. You can reduce the amount of dust in your home or workplace with upgrades to your air filtration system, such as air purification, pleated filters, or even an electrostatic filter that is connected to your duct system. If less dust makes its way to your carpets and rugs, you’ll need to vacuum low traffic areas less often.

Beater Brush Basics

It’s overkill to vacuum delicate carpet and rug fibers in areas that see little activity with a beater brush turned on. On the other hand, it’s ineffectual to vacuum sturdy carpet and rug fibers in very high traffic areas once a week with the beater brush turned off. In areas that see little traffic, your goal is to basically remove a thin layer of dust that has settled on the surface, whereas with higher traffic areas, your objective is to remove both surface dust and particles that have made their way deep into the fibers of your carpet or rug. Turn your beater brush off or on, and set the height levels appropriate for your rug material and pile.

Consider the Pile

If you carpet or rug has woven pile, run your hands along the surface to determine which direction the pile naturally points. There will be more friction created as your hand runs against the grain. If you are using a beater brush, vacuum with the pile direction or from left to right across the pile direction, but do not force it against the pile direction, because this may cause premature damage to the fibers of your carpet or rug.

Carpet Sweepers and Dusters

If you have a big, powerful, unwieldy vacuum cleaner, try using a carpet sweeper for quick and easy clean up. Carpet sweepers and dusters work much like a broom, removing surface dust, dirt, crumbs, and pet hair. Although they can never replace true vacuuming, they can certainly help keep your carpet clean between regular vacuuming with very little potential for carpet or rug fiber damage.

I was absolutely blown away by the exceptional hardwood floor and limestone cleaning service I received from Sante Fe Floor Care for my new construction home. Rodrick, our technician, was not only incredibly knowledgeable but also incredibly professional and courteous. He took the time to explain the entire process, the type of solution they use, and the best practices for future maintenance.The results were nothing short of spectacular. My floors look brand new! The attention to detail and the care he took in cleaning every nook and cranny was truly impressive. I highly recommend Sante Fe Floor Care to anyone seeking top-notch cleaning services, especially for new construction homes. They exceeded my expectations in every way.

Bryan was very professional. He called to inform me he was on his way. Arrived on time and answered all my questions in detail. The carpet had some heavy traffic areas the were quite dirty. They all came out and it looks and smells terrific. I also had grout cleaned and I am very happy with the work. A visible difference in the kitchen and bathroom. I highly recommend Santa Fe. I have used them for over 15 years and they are consistent in their high quality service.

Very knowledgeable, professional and punctual! We purchased a nine year old home in Sun City, all tile floors with two carpeted bedrooms. The home had been well cared for but the floors needed attention. Mr. Young came out, measured everything and visited with us, made suggestions and then clearly explained the process. We received a very fair quote and all the work was done well within a tight time frame. The floors are stunning! He also did a lovely job on a huge, 40 year old wool oriental carpet. We highly recommend Santa Fe Floor Care!!!Mr. and Mrs. James Armstrong
