Daily vacuuming is more
important than interim
deep cleaning methods.
Dr y soil is abrasive; when
ground into your carpet,
it cuts into carpet fibers—
dulling appearance and
reducing the longevity.
When using the correct tools,
ProTeam backpack vacuums
clean 52% faster than a dust
mop in crowded classrooms
and congested areas.
