#9 - Vacuuming Purpose: To provide clean, long-lasting
and attractive carpeted areas.
Required Supplies & Equipment:
· Commercial Upright Vacuum or a Wide Area Vacuum
· Disposable Vacuum Bags
· Caution Sign
1. Prepare Area - Take the upright vacuum to the work site. Place a "Caution"
sign in a prominent location.
2. Set Up Equipment - Plug in machine and
place in a central location. Be sure equipment has
a three prong plug. To move wet/dry tank vacuums
short distances, pull by the hose. To move longer
distance, rewind cord and push the vacuum itself.
Take care not to bump walls or furniture.
3. Vacuum Carpet - Generally use a push-pull
stroke about 3 feet long. Vacuum so that the nap of
the carpet is laid out by the pull stroke. Overlap
strokes slightly until area is covered. Use the
accessory tools for hard-to-get-spots. Move furniture
and equipment as little as possible. Do not over
clean. Usually two strokes per pass are sufficient.
Watch cord carefully as it can present a safety
hazard. Work away from the wall with the cord plug
outlet to help avoid being tangled in cords.
4. When Finished - Remove the "Caution"
sign. Return the vacuuming equipment to the storage area. Check
to make sure that the filter bags are not full.
If they are full, empty the bag or replace it with
a new disposable
bag. Also check for worn brushes or brush strips
and replace immediately.
5. Clean Up - Wipe the vacuum unit and cord
clean of any loose dust or soil. Wash Hands.
