Which are still moist, are the easiest to remove. Remove the spills promptly by scraping up the solids and blotting the liquids. Follow by dabbing with a damp cloth of water ( add white vinegar to the cloth to cut grease).  Dry with a cloth or hair blow dryer.

Can dissolve dirt particles and bring them to the surface.  This may cause watermarks to form.  Therefore spilled water or water from plant containers must be dabbed IMMEDIATELY with an absorbent white cloth and then dried with a hair blow dryer.

Should be regularly picked up with a broom or vacuum cleaner.  Easily cleaned, because dirt will not cling to the hard, non-static fibers.  Regular cleaning is necessary because loose particles of dirt reduce the life span of the floor covering with their scouring effect.

Visible and Loose Dirt-                                         

Use the following Natural Fiber Directions: Use a cleaning machine with standard brushes and do not use prep or other liquid. Apply a smaller amount of dry cleaning powder “sponges” than you would for regular carpets and do more brushing with the machine. Make sure the cleaning sponges evenly spread across the floor covering, then let sink in until dry. This period can vary… between 30 minutes and 2 hours, depending on how dirty the floor is, how thickly the sponges has been applied and the humidity of the room. During the drying period, the cleaning substances contained in the sponges will cling to the dirt. When completely dry, vacuum with an upright, using an all brush agitator in both directions. Repeat a second time without using and additional sponges. Brushing in the direction of the rows will help loosen the sponges trapped in the surface. It is important during cleaning that the amount of moisture be controlled. The Recommended method of spot removal and overall cleaning are with dry cleaning products. For spot removal we recommend the K2R product, following the directions on the can (available in hardware or grocery stores). For overall cleaning we recommend the “ Host System” or “Capture System” listed in the yellow pages under “carpet cleaning”.
