    What type of cleaning method is needed for: Guestroom carpet that has had normal guest traffic

    • Vacuuming

    • Dry powder cleaning

    • Dry foam cleaning

    • Water extraction

    • Rotary shampoo

    Correct Answer
    A. Vacuuming
    Explanation
    Vacuuming is the appropriate cleaning method for a guestroom carpet that has had normal guest traffic. Vacuuming helps to remove dirt, dust, and debris from the carpet fibers, keeping it clean and fresh. It is a simple and effective method that can be easily done on a regular basis to maintain the cleanliness of the carpet. Other cleaning methods like dry powder cleaning, dry foam cleaning, water extraction, and rotary shampoo may be more suitable for specific situations or when the carpet requires deep cleaning.

    The guestroom carpeting at the Airport Hotel is installed over a carpet pad. Which of the following upright vacuums would be best for routine guestroom cleaning?

    • Beater-bar vacuums

    • Brush vacuums

    • Rotary floor machines

    • Pile-lifter machines

    Correct Answer
    A. Beater-bar vacuums
    Explanation
    Beater-bar vacuums would be the best choice for routine guestroom cleaning because they are designed to effectively clean carpets. The beater bar, also known as a brush roll, helps to agitate the carpet fibers and loosen dirt and debris, making it easier to remove. This type of vacuum is particularly effective for cleaning carpets with a carpet pad underneath, as it can penetrate deeper into the carpet to remove dirt and dust. Brush vacuums, rotary floor machines, and pile-lifter machines may not be as effective in removing dirt from carpets with a carpet pad.

    The guestroom carpeting at the Roadside Motel is glued directly to the floor. Which of the following upright vacuums would be best for routine guestroom cleaning?

    • Beater-bar vacuums

    • Brush vacuums

    • Rotary floor machines

    • Pile-lifter machines

    Correct Answer
    A. Brush vacuums
    Explanation
    Brush vacuums would be the best option for routine guestroom cleaning when the carpeting is glued directly to the floor. Brush vacuums have rotating brushes that can effectively agitate and lift dirt and debris from the carpet fibers. This is especially important when the carpet is glued down, as it can be more difficult for dirt and debris to be lifted without the help of brushes. Beater-bar vacuums may be too aggressive and could potentially damage the glued-down carpet, while rotary floor machines and pile-lifter machines are better suited for deep cleaning and maintenance rather than routine cleaning.

    Which of the following is the deepest cleaning method available for most carpets?

    • Dry powder cleaning

    • Dry foam cleaning

    • Rotary shampooing

    • Water extraction

    Correct Answer
    A. Water extraction
    Explanation
    Water extraction is the deepest cleaning method available for most carpets because it involves using hot water and a cleaning solution to penetrate deep into the carpet fibers. This method effectively removes dirt, stains, and allergens from the carpet, leaving it thoroughly clean and fresh. The water extraction process also helps to remove any residue left behind by previous cleaning methods, ensuring a deep and thorough clean.

    • Vacuuming

    • Dry powder cleaning

    • Dry foam cleaning

    • Water extraction

    • Rotary shampoo

    Correct Answer
    A. Dry powder cleaning
    Explanation
    Dry powder cleaning is the appropriate method for cleaning a carpet in a library at a world-class hotel that cannot be cleaned with water. This method involves sprinkling a dry cleaning powder onto the carpet, which is then agitated and vacuumed up, removing dirt and stains. It is a waterless method that is effective for deep cleaning and does not leave any residue or moisture behind. This is important in a library setting where moisture can damage books and other materials.

    • Beater-bar vacuums

    • Brush vacuums

    • Rotary floor machines

    • Pile-lifter machines

    Correct Answer
    A. Pile-lifter machines
    Explanation
    Pile-lifter machines have a strong suction capacity and a separate brush motor for restoring crushed carpet pile. These machines are specifically designed to lift and restore the pile of carpets that have been crushed or flattened due to heavy foot traffic or furniture. The strong suction capacity ensures effective removal of dirt and debris from the carpet, while the separate brush motor helps in revitalizing and restoring the carpet pile to its original fluffy and upright state.

    • Vacuuming

    • Dry powder cleaning

    • Dry foam cleaning

    • Water extraction

    • Rotary shampoo

    Correct Answer
    A. Water extraction
    Explanation
    Water extraction is the most suitable cleaning method for a flight of stairs with severely soiled carpet. This method involves using hot water and a cleaning solution to deep clean the carpet and remove dirt, stains, and debris. The water extraction process uses a machine that sprays the cleaning solution onto the carpet and then immediately extracts it along with the loosened dirt and grime. This method is effective in removing deep-seated dirt and stains from the carpet fibers and is commonly used for heavily soiled carpets.

    What type of cleaning method is needed for: A carpet with stains that are resistant to dry cleaning

    • Vacuuming

    • Dry powder cleaning

    • Dry foam cleaning

    • Water extraction

    • Rotary shampoo

    Correct Answer
    A. Rotary shampoo
    Explanation
    Rotary shampoo is the most suitable cleaning method for a carpet with stains that are resistant to dry cleaning. Dry cleaning methods such as dry powder cleaning and dry foam cleaning may not be effective in removing stubborn stains. Water extraction is not recommended for carpets with resistant stains as it may cause further damage. Rotary shampoo involves using a machine with rotating brushes to scrub the carpet and remove the stains, making it a more effective option in this scenario.

    What type of cleaning method is needed for: Lobby carpet that is heavily soiled but in a high-traffic area

    • Vacuuming

    • Dry powder cleaning

    • Dry foam cleaning

    • Water extraction

    • Rotary shampoo

    Correct Answer
    A. Dry foam cleaning
    Explanation
    Dry foam cleaning is the most suitable method for heavily soiled carpets in high-traffic areas like a lobby. This method involves applying a foam cleaning solution to the carpet, which is then agitated to loosen the dirt and stains. The foam is then extracted along with the dirt using a vacuum. This method is effective for deep cleaning, as it allows the cleaning solution to penetrate the carpet fibers and lift out the dirt without causing excessive moisture. This is important in high-traffic areas to ensure quick drying and minimal disruption to foot traffic.
