What Is The Best Way To Clean Carpet Tiles?

Cleaning carpet tiles is as easy as it is to clean traditional carpet. They can be vacuumed, shampooed, and for a deep clean, some can even be steam cleaned.

Methods for Cleaning Carpet Tiles

• Vacuum
• Spot Scrub
• Professional Shampoo
• Deep Clean
• Steam Cleaned

Use Caution with Steam Cleaning: If you do plan to use a steam cleaner, keep in mind that if your carpet tiles have a closed cell foam backing, steam cleaning can cause some expansion. Some steam cleaners can also force water between plastic-based tiles allowing water to get underneath them. Typically, the water will evaporate due to the raised base design. If you’re unsure if heat will cause problems with the adhesive used to attach the carpet to the base, reach out to the Greatmats’ staff.

You can spot scrub problematic areas, or, the carpet square can be removed for scrubbing in a sink or hosing it down. This works for many floating carpet tile systems.
