Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Certified Model S Pile Lifter?
The Certified Model S Pile Lifter is a professional carpet maintenance machine designed to remove deeply embedded dry particulate matter from carpet fibers. It works by lifting and grooming the carpet nap to restore its original appearance.
Unlike vacuums that rely on suction alone, the Pile Lifter uses specially designed brushes to mechanically agitate and lift carpet fibers. This action reaches dirt that standard vacuums cannot extract.
When used regularly, the Model S extends the life of carpets and rugs by preventing the buildup of abrasive particles that wear down carpet fibers over time.
What types of brushes are available for the Pile Lifter?
The Certified Pile Lifter is available with two brush options: vegetable fiber brushes and tufted nylon brushes. Both options are designed specifically for carpet care and do not break, cut, or pull pile loops.
Vegetable fiber brushes provide gentle yet effective cleaning action and are ideal for delicate carpet types. Nylon tufted brushes offer more aggressive cleaning for heavily soiled commercial carpets.
Both brush types are self-cleaning and can be reversed for longer wear, a feature unique to Certified brushes. Replacement brushes are readily available.
How does the Pile Lifter eliminate traffic patterns?
Traffic patterns develop when carpet fibers are repeatedly compressed in high-traffic areas, trapping dirt deep within the pile. The Pile Lifter mechanically lifts these compressed fibers back to their original position.
By removing the embedded dirt that weighs down the fibers and grooming the nap back into an upright position, the Pile Lifter effectively erases visible traffic patterns.
Regular use prevents traffic patterns from becoming permanent. Most facility managers find that using the Pile Lifter weekly in high-traffic areas keeps carpets looking uniform and professional.
Is the Certified Pile Lifter suitable for all carpet types?
The Certified Pile Lifter is designed to work safely on most commercial and residential carpet types. The vegetable fiber and nylon tufted brushes do not break, cut, or pull pile loops, making them safe for loop pile, cut pile, and combination carpets.
For delicate or antique rugs, the vegetable fiber brush option provides the gentlest cleaning action. The nylon brush is better suited for commercial-grade carpets that can withstand more aggressive grooming.
Always test a small inconspicuous area first when using the Pile Lifter on a new carpet type to ensure compatibility with the specific fiber and construction.
How often should the Pile Lifter be used for best results?
For optimal results, use the Certified Pile Lifter on a regular maintenance schedule based on the level of foot traffic in your facility. High-traffic commercial areas benefit from weekly or bi-weekly treatment.
Moderate-traffic areas such as offices and conference rooms typically need treatment every two to four weeks. Low-traffic residential areas may only need monthly or quarterly treatment.
Consistent use is the key to preventing traffic pattern buildup and extending carpet life. Many facility managers incorporate the Pile Lifter into their standard floor care rotation alongside regular vacuuming and periodic deep cleaning.
