RECOMMENDATIONS
Need a hand?
modulyss® prides itself in making quality carpet tiles that
meet the strictest European standards, EN1307. Our
carpet tiles are known for their strong character and
their optimal retention of colour and appearance. These
properties not only guarantee a long life, but also make
the cleaning of the carpet tiles easier and faster, which in
turns means lower maintenance costs.
To help you enjoy your modulyss® carpet as long as
possible, we have compiled the following Cleaning
Recommendations. Retaining the beauty of your carpet
requires a scheduled approach. The good news? Smart
and regular maintenance repays itself many times over.

Types of traffic areas
The lasting and beautiful character of a modul
yss® carpet
tile is determined by the right choice of the quality and
colour of the tile. In rooms with intensive foot traffic, it is
best to opt for darker colours. The carpet has a greater
dirt-concealing capacity in such a case.
An (office) space can be divided in 4 traffic areas:
4
Clean-off zone
3
The protection of an interior starts with an optimal
protection of the entrance. 85% of the dirt is brought
in by shoes, and that is why we recommend installing
an efficient and sufficiently long clean-off zone (minimum
9 metres) where an entrance from the outside or from
heavily soiled areas is possible.
We recommend you to opt for a carpet tile with a darker
colour and an irregular pattern. In-groove carpet tiles,
made of sturdy, soil-resistant yarn, are ideally suited for
clean-off zones.

ROUTINE
CLEANING
Daily maintenance
Vacuum cleaning using a brush vacuum cleaner constitutes the basis of daily maintenance. It can remove about
80% of the dirt from the carpet. Furthermore, a brush
vacuum cleaner helps to retain the appearance of a
carpet tile’s pile. Do not forget to regularly replace the
vacuum cleaner bag.
The vacuuming frequency is determined by the foot
traffic and the soiling of the carpet:
➜
Heavily intensive traffic: 1 x per day
Intensive traffic: 2 to 3 x per week
➜ Normal traffic: 1 x per week
➜
Recommended machinery: see page 13.
CAUTION: using horizontal rotating brushes to clean
the carpet might affect the appearance of the pile of
the carpet tiles.

SPOT
CLEANING
Spot removal
Removing water-based marks
We recommend that marks be removed from the carpet
immediately, as old spots are far more difficult to clean.
Sprinkle the agent directly on the car
pet. Do not use the
agent if the carpet leaves a coloured mark on the cloth.
Subsequently, use the dry cleaning agent as follows:
Take the following tips into account:
➜
remove solids using a spoon or spatula;
➜ remove liquids using a clean white cloth or blotting
paper;
➜ always treat the mark using a clean damp cloth;
➜ work from the edges towards the middle of the mark,
with the pile;
➜ dab the mark, but never rub it.
When removing marks, carefully follow the instructions mentioned on the cleaning products. Always use
products that are pH neutral and avoid products with
chlorine (e.g. bleach) or chemically aggressive oxidants.
We recommend pre-testing an inconspicuous area for
colour fastness and material durability.
1 After removing a semi-hardened or hardened mark,
dab at the mark with a clean damp cloth. Then
remove the remaining soiling with a small quantity of
a dry cleaning agent. Sprinkle the cleaner over the
mark and brush it in carefully with a hand brush
.
2 Let the area dry for around 15 to 30 minutes and
brush the cleaner in again. If the cleaner appears to
be sticking to the carpet, brush carefully and vacuum
the affected area. If necessary, repeat the process.

Removing oil-based marks
To remove oil-based marks such as paint, fat, tar,
asphalt, etc., use specialist carpet stain removers.
Sprinkle the remover on a clean, white cloth and press
it onto the carpet. Do not use the remover if the carpet
leaves a coloured mark on the cloth. Subsequently use
the stain remover as follows:
1 Wipe carefully inwards from the outside edge of
the mark. Repeat the procedure until the mark
has been removed. Following chemical treatment,
rinse the mark with a damp cloth to remove cleaner
residue. Protect the cleaned part until the carpet is
completely dry.
2 Afterwards treat with a dry cleaner as described
under ‘removing water-based marks’.
Removing dried-on and stubborn marks
Marks that are hard to remove like rust, varnish, coffee,
ch
ewing gum and soft drinks require specialist treatment
(see spot removal chart).
In case the stubborn mark cannot be removed, call in an
expert who can use the right products to avoid damaging
the carpet. Recommended products: see page 13.
STAIN
TREATMENT
Coffee, thee,
soft drinks and wine
Blood, urine and
vomit
Moisten a towel with cold water and
let it absorb the fluid. Repeat until
all fluid has been absorbed. Let the
carpet dry and spray the stain with
the Crystal Spot Remover ®. Brush
away with the Spotting Tool®.
Food and fruit
Remove all loose elements with a
tea spoon. Spray the stain with the
Crystal Spot Remover ® and brush
away with the Spotting Tool®.
Chewing gum
Spray the stain with a gum freezer.
Scrape off the chewing gum with a
tea spoon. Follow up with a little Oil
& Grease® on a dry cloth.
Shoe polish
Apply a little Oil & Grease to a dry
cloth and dab the stain away. Then
spray the stain with the Crystal Spot
Remover ® and brush away with the
Spotting
Tool®.
Stickers, paint,
sealant and glue
(Remove the sticker). Let the
(remaining) stain dry and scrape it off
with a tea spoon. Apply a little Oil &
Grease® to a dry cloth and dab the
stain away. Spray the stain with the
Crystal Spot Remover ® and brush
away with the Spotting Tool®.
These spot removal tips apply to all modulyss® carpet tile
styles: loop pile, cut pile and mini-tuft. modulyss® cannot
guarantee that the recommended products will remove
all stains.

SPECIALISED
MAINTENANCE
The goal of specialised maintenance is to keep the carpet
clean and maintain a consistent appearance level. The
primary focus is on frequent low-moisture pile lifting and
the removal of sticky residues or stubborn marks that
would otherwise trap soil in the carpet fibers.
Examine the carpet for accidental spots which were not
removed during cleaning and treat these with the Crystal
Spot Remover® & S
potting Tool®.
We recommend to execute the specialised maintenance
2 to 3 times per year depending on the foot traffic and the
soiling of the carpet.
➜
Encapsulation method
The encapsulation method is the next-generation
approach to effective periodic maintenance and can be
performed by means of the Smart Care® TRIO System
machine.
The Crystal Dry Method deposits cleaning product in
solution onto the surface as mist (low moisture). Crystals,
made up of polymers, are sprayed over the carpet. The
Triomachine then brushes the carpet so that the dirt and
dust are encapsulated into the crystals. The result? A
crystalline residue that encapsulates foreign soils. The
soil-laden crystals are removed easily by vacuuming.
Advantages:
highly effective;
dry process: no sticky residue will remain in the
carpet;
➜ the carpet can be used immediately after cleaning;
➜ less to no noise pollution
➜ prescribed and advised by all recognized carpet
manufacturers;
➜ Green seal certified
;
➜ no odours.
➜
Committed to reducing our environmental impact,
modulyss® recommends this water-saving, sustainable
solution for carpet cleaning. Recommended machinery:
see page 14.
CAUTION: the Bonnet cleaning method might
affect the appearance of the pile of the carpet tiles.
modulyss® does not advocate this method.

12
Hot water extraction method
The hot water extraction method, an alternative deep
cleaning method, removes soil deep in the pile. First,
a solution of water and detergent, based on crystals,
is sprayed on the carpet. Then, the carpet is rinsed
thoroughly using the pressurized hot water extraction
method.
Keep in mind:
a higher volume of water is used;
cleaning will have to be scheduled in the evening
or at night, due to longer drying times and possible
noise nuisance;
➜ there is a chance of odour development;
➜ there is a risk of shrinkage;
➜ caution should be taken with under-floor wiring.
We recommend not to walk on the carpet or put furnit
ure
back in place until the carpet is completely dry, to avoid
the risk of dirt on chair legs etc. rubbing off on the damp
carpet.
We advise against using shampoo detergent. High pH
cleaners leave a residue, which may cause rapid resoiling
and fiber damage. Recommended machinery: see
page 14.

CAUTION: this cleaning method should not be used
on the modulyss® mini-tuft products.
