Appearances Do Matter
We've created our own maintenance monster, in a sense, because today's carpets are masters of disguise.
- The intricate patterns mask soiling stains.
- The advanced fibers and backings are engineered to resist crushing and fluid absorption.
- New dying techniques ensure that carpet colors stay bright, vibrant and colorfast.
- Yarn treatments applied during manufacturing and even some after-market treatments, effectively repel stains.
All this can create a false sense of security. That's because despite the latest manufacturing technology and can't-see-the-stain visuals, carpets still need regular maintenance to look their best.
Well-maintained carpets are a good reflection on everybody who touches them:
- Specifiers look smart for selecting a carpet that looks good upon installation and down the road.
- Facility Managers offer tangible proof that they are doing a good job of maintenance.
- Owners and occupants are proud of their building's appearance.
- Customers like to conduct business in a clean-looking environment.
- Manufacturing mills earn a reputation for well made and beautiful carpets.
