Hello all,
We will be starting a new 'regular' commercial carpet job in the next month or so for a public use building. This facility has upwards of 3,000 people visit daily. Currently we HWE and pour water in areas where our carpet cleaner use too much chemicals and etc. This has made us leave fans running all night for the client to pick up and put away each morning after in hopes the areas are dry enough for public access.
Quite often, as in almost daily, you can see a traffic stain into the main floor, at least twice weekly, we have to HWE these areas in order to make them presentable, at least.
One floor has so much foot traffic, the facility is replacing the carpet within the next 60 days.
My questions are as follows:
1) Can Encapping be the 'primary' go to method given the high traffic in this facility? Thoughts on this?;
2) We still have yet to purchase the recommended machines to facilitate this, so will 17" &/or 22" bonnet machines work for now?
3) Dry time, can we expect dry time to be within three (3) hours or so, or should we plan on longer? Use fans?
4) The facility has a policy of only installing light colored carpets, which is/can be the bane of cleaning them especially when there is inclimate weather or on these days go to HWE?
I Am sure there are more questions, but this is what I can think of for now.
Thank you for your thoughts and input.
