Preventative maintenance can be accomplished by using items like walk-off mats and chair pads. The obvious advantage of these devices is that they keep soil from ever reaching the carpet in the first place. Elevators should also be carpeted with the ideal maintenance program including two sets of mats and removable elevator carpets. This enables both to be removed for professional in-plant cleaning.

Color and pattern selection is another form of preventative maintenance. Although color has no effect on soil that is deposited on the carpet, certain colors and patterns tend to disguise deposits. Fiber can also be an important factor when choosing a soil-hiding carpet. Topical treatments such as 3M commercial carpet protector are essential to good soil release and ease of maintenance.
