Extend the life of your carpet
 
  • Vacuum regularly.
  • Perform regular spot clean before stains have time to set versus waiting for the breaks to clean all carpets. 
  • Operations will be sending out a roll of AV Cord tape to be used on carpets rather than duct tape which leaves an adhesive residue on the fiber which attracts and holds on to dirt and debris.

Did you know?
BVSD uses carpeting with a minimum of 40 percent (sometimes up to 100 percent) recycled content and with low or no volatile organic compounds (VOCs). There are also schools within the district that have polished concrete flooring rather than a floor covering (which saves on materials) and others with bio-based tile made from corn or similar natural materials. BVSD has made a commitment to recycle all old carpet that is taken out of buildings.

Kudos! 
Thank you to Debbie Sedelmeier for her diligent work to identify more environmentally friendly flooring options for BVSD.
