Vacuums for Soft Mohawk Carpet
Selecting the right vacuum
When selecting the right vacuum, adjustable height is the most important feature to consider. This enables the machine to be used on a wide variety of carpet constructions. If your vacuum is set too high above the carpet surface, the vacuum can’t attract the gritty soil below. If the setting is too low, the vacuum’s beater bar or brushes can “fuzz” the carpet’s surface, causing it to look worn and frayed.
Consider your soft carpet type: high pile, wool, wool-blend, and premium soft carpet
Use the highest adjustable height setting where appropriate. Avoid vacuums with very concentrated or sealed suction. Your vacuum should glide easily across the carpet making large wheels the best choice.
Thick loop, casual frieze or long pile carpet
You may need to completely disengage the beater bar and vacuum with suction only.
All other carpet constructions
Use a vacuum with a rotating brush or beater bar. Change the bags often and check the beater bars for burs and gouges to prevent damage to the surface of the carpet.
If you are unsure about the proper height setting, use an inconspicuous place like a closet to test your vacuum. Its beater bar or brush should just lightly touch your carpet surface.
