Overview
Vacuuming carpets removes dust, debris, allergens, and embedded particles that affect both appearance and indoor air quality. Regular vacuuming extends carpet life, prevents premature wear, and improves the overall hygiene of residential, commercial, and industrial environments.

Safety & Preparation

Before starting:

• Inspect the carpet area for loose items, cords, or small objects that may obstruct the vacuum.
• Check the vacuum cleaner’s bag or dust container, ensuring it’s not full.
• Verify filters are clean and the power cord is in good condition.
• Wear non-slip footwear and avoid tangling cords across walkways.

⚠️ Note: Never vacuum wet surfaces — moisture can damage motors and create electrical hazards.

Step-by-Step Cleaning Process

1. Preparation
   • Move lightweight furniture or chairs if needed for full coverage.
   • Start at the farthest corner of the room and work toward the exit.
   • Use the appropriate nozzle or brush head for the carpet type (low pile, high pile, or rugs).
2. Vacuuming Technique
   • Vacuum slowly and in overlapping passes to lift embedded dirt effectively.
   • For high-traffic zones, go over each section at least twice in alternating directions.
   • Use the edge tool for corners, baseboards, and under furniture.
   • Adjust height settings to maintain suction and prevent damage to carpet fibers.
3. Spot Maintenance
   • Treat visible stains or gum before vacuuming with approved spot-cleaning agents.
   • Use HEPA-filter vacuums in environments with allergy or respiratory sensitivity.
4. After Cleaning
   • Turn off and unplug the vacuum.
   • Empty dust bins or replace bags, and wipe down the exterior.
   • Inspect brushes for tangled hair or debris and clean as needed.

When It Applies

Perform vacuuming:

• Daily in offices, schools, and high-traffic areas.
• Weekly in residential or low-traffic commercial zones.
• After deep cleaning or construction work to remove fine dust.
• Before carpet extraction or shampooing as a pre-treatment step.
