Maintenance of AZO All Weather Carpet in Heavy Traffic Applications

Azo All Weather Carpet and Module is made of a blend of olefin fibers with extra heavy denier components. These extra heavy denier fibers act like a brillo pad to scrape off, trap and hold dirt. The carpet effectively acts as a clean zone barrier in stripping dirt off shoes.

Because of fiber density and density of pile, this dirt and soil must be removed by regular maintenance procedures while the soil is held at the surface. If soil is not removed while held at the surface, it will sink into and penetrate the base of the carpet, and becomes much more difficult to remove.. Soil that penetrates into the base of the carpet body and pile and which is permitted to accumulate into a solid "cake", will cause premature wear and fiber abrasion and color change.

ESD Conductive AZO Berber carpet is made of a blend of silver coated conductive nylon fibers and olefin fibers with extra heavy denier components. These extra heavy denier fibers act mechanically to scrape off, trap and hold dirt.

  1. Vacuuming.
    • Vacuum carpet only when it is dry. Vacuum 1-2 times daily with a commercial beater bar two motor vacuum.
    • In order to avoid electrical shock, do not vacuum wet carpet.


  2. Extraction Cleaning
    3. Clean 1-2 times/week with a self contained extractor, using the following procedure:
    • Vacuum
    • Warm Water Extraction Cleaning:


      • In 90% of the cases, best results are obtained in ordinary heavy traffic industrial situations by using no chemicals, just a warm water (120-1400F) extraction.

      Wet extraction cleaning should be scheduled for evenings, allowing at least 6-8 hours, but ideally 10-12 hours of drying time before traffic is allowed on the carpet.

  3. Spray Cleaning followed by extraction cleaning
    4. If warm water extraction without chemicals is not satisfactory, mix one of the below chemicals in a pump sprayer

      TASKI R-50 (1:128)
    (alternate) TASKI Profi (1:64)

  4. Spray the carpet and let stand for 3-5 minutes
  5. Final flush the carpet with warm water (warm water extraction without chemicals)
Discussion of Cleaning Agents for AZO All Weather Carpet
  1. TASKI R-50 is a heavy duty neutral detergent that is totally safe for the olefin fibers and the latex bacling of the ESD conductive carpet. This product is a good choice if it can also be used to mop up or scrub resilient surfaces in the building. (This would prevent each area of the building from requiring a different detergent)

  2. TASKI Profi is also absolutely safe for the olefin fiber and latex in the carpet, and is preferred if oil based, or asphalt sealer contaminated soil is dragged into the building from outside or warehouses.
