•Carpet should be deep cleaned with a hot water extraction cleaner once per month or
when vacuuming will no longer remove the soil. This may be monthly, quarterly, or
longer, depending upon soil and traffic conditions.
•Inspect the grille or mat regularly for spots and stains, to reduce the possibility of them
becoming permanent.
•Removing Spots
oIf the spot is semi-solid, scrape with a spoon or spatula and then blot with a damp
sponge. Work from the edge of the spot to the center. This will keep the stain from
spreading. If this procedure does not work, use a spot remover.
oWe recommend a dry system because it reduces solid build-up, won’t leave floors
wet and slippery, and there is no risk in damaging the carpet from dye bleeding.
For most spills such as coffee, tea, pet stains, etc., a dry soil extractor works best.
oWet cleaning methods, including aerosols, foams, hot water extraction, or
shampoo will work, but sometimes they leave sticky detergent residue that will
accelerate soil build-up.
oFor oily stains such as tar, grease, paint, etc., a non-flammable dry cleaning
solvent works best. Be extremely careful when using dry cleaning solvent. Take
care to check for color fastness before cleaning the entire surface. Put a few drops
of stain remover in an inconspicuous area and press the area with a clean cloth for
ten seconds. If the color fades or changes, discontinue use.
Rubber
•Use a mild detergent and water to damp mop the rubber treads. To remove caked on
mud, use a stiff brush.
•Do not use petroleum-based products to clean rubber. These types of solvents will damage
or fade the treads.
Rugged Scrub®
•The most effective way to clean the treads is with a garden hose or high-pressure washer,
as necessary. The treads can withstand pressure of up to 1,000 pounds per square inch. A
good heavy-duty vacuum cleaner with a rotating brush will remove most dirt from your
Rugged Scrub® treads during routine daily cleaning.
•Do not use petroleum-based products to clean Rugged Scrub®. These types of solvents will
damage or dissolve the treads.
