I love this! Bigelow is basically telling you that if you take good care of your carpet you won’t have to purchase new carpeting for years. Not a good business strategy, people need to buy more carpet. it keeps the economy moving.
From a customer appreciation standpoint ... brilliant.
When I worked at Blue Cross and Blue Shield of NJ, the carpet specification standard was Bigelow. That’s when I became a fan! The carpeting in the elevator lobby looked fabulous and it was installed 20 years before.
Here are their 5 tips to take care of your carpet. Check out the link, the specifics are there.
1. Dirt is everywhere, keeping it out of the building is easier and less expensive than removing it.
2. Vacuuming regularly is part of any maintenance program (how to’s included)
3. Spots are inevitable but they don’t have to be permanent (how to’s included)
4. Interim Cleaning - Scheduled pile lifting, vacuuming, spot removal and low moisture cleaning can help the carpet retain appearance and improve performance
5. Restorative Deep Cleaning. .No matter how conscientiously you work at it regularly scheduled maintenance will still leave some soil behind. Periodic deep cleaning, using hot water extraction, is most effective at removing any embedded abrasive soil.
Bigelow’s Commercial Carpet Care and Maintenance Guide is simple and elegant. A good reminder. It is available free on line at
