INTERIM CLEANING
INTERIM CLEANING TIPS
Operate equipment with slow, deliberate passes in length
and width for maximum effectiveness.
Heavy trafc areas may require multiple passes back and
forth to sufciently extract embedded soil.
RECOMMENDED EQUIPMENT
For interim cleaning the Mohawk recognizes that there are
many absorbent compound and low moisture cleaning brands
available in the marketplace. We suggest that you analyze
several brands for effectiveness and cost,
to determine which best suits the needs of your facility.
Closely follow all the manufacturer’s user instructions
for the cleaning method you choose. Any cleaning
method improperly carried out can lead to poorly main-
tained and damaged carpet.
