Daily Pile Lifting & Vacuuming

At least 85% of all soil is typically dry, and the most effective way to deal with destructive dirt particles is through daily pile lifting and vacuuming.

Pile lifting is an essential activity that should be performed at least once a week in high traffic areas. A good pile lifter, such as the HOST ExtractorVac®, will lift up the carpet pile, break loose and remove embedded soil that commercial vacuums cannot reach because of matting and crushing caused by heavy traffic. Regular use of pile lifting will make routine vacuuming more efficient. The HOST ExtractorVac® machine is a pile lifter/vacuum that has counter revolving brushes combined with powerful airflow and filtration that removes the deep down dry dirt and grit. 

The best commercial vacuums are equipped with rotating brushes, and vacuuming alternately in both length and width directions will help to dislodge soil from carpet fibers during daily vacuuming.

please note that the wrong type of dirt collection system and the wrong type of brush selection causes many problems with brush vacuum cleaners. A good brush vacuum cleaner has a paper dustbag, which is filled from the top. This way blockage is prevented, the volume of the dust bag is fully used, and there is a constant suction power.
