11 Frozen Pipes Through the winter season, it is important that all windows and doors are securely closed. When the outside temperature is below freezing and the windows and/or doors are left open, the pipes may freeze and break. This may result in the flooding of your townhome and other townhomes as well. Flooring Care Vinyl plank flooring maintenance & prevention The single greatest cause of damage to any flooring or floor finish is abrasion from dirt and grit. Wherever possible, use walk off mats at entrances and doorways. Use non-staining floor protectors under heavy furniture, chairs, and tables. Clean the floor using a properly diluted Neutral ph cleaner in cool water. Carpet flooring maintenance & prevention Regular carpet maintenance can enhance your indoor air quality and prevent your carpet s appearance from deteriorating prematurely. ecause preventive maintenance is less expensive and more effective than infrequent restorative cleaning, we recommend that you: Vacuum and spot clean your carpet daily. Implement a preventive maintenance program. Use hot water extraction to restore heavily soiled carpet. Vacuum and spot clean your carpet daily ccelerated carpet wear occurs when traffic grind imbedded soil into the carpet fiber. You can extend your carpet s life by placing walk-off mats at exterior entrances, and vacuuming traffic areas thoroughly every day. pproximately 20% of carpet soil is soluble in water or solvent. You can remove much of the remaining 80% (fibers and particles) by vacuuming thoroughly every day, emphasizing heavy-soil areas like entrances. Your vacuum should have a powered brush and strong suction. To ensure spots are removed promptly, have a carpet first aid kit containing: dry cleaning solvent (e.g. perchloroethylene) detergent solution (a teaspoon of non-bleach powder in a cup of water) ammonia solution to neutralize acid stains (a tablespoon of ammonia in a cup of water) vinegar (or citric acid) solution to neutralize alkaline stains (1/3 white vinegar, 2/3 water) n effective carpet maintenance program keeps soil below the threshold of visibility. If the program is working satisfactorily, the carpet should never look soiled. 11
