As commercial carpet cleaning experts, we know how to get carpets in your office or business completely clean. Here are a few things you should know.
Commercial carpets are often subjected to a lot of wear and tear. With employees and customers walking in and out, carpets can quickly become stained and dirty. In order to keep your business looking its best, it’s important to have a regular carpet cleaning schedule in place. But how do you know if you’re doing it right? Here are some commercial carpet cleaning tips from the experts.
If you want to get your carpets completely clean-and keep them that way- there are a few things you need to do.
1.Dirt Containment
Manage dirt and dust on your carpet by keeping outdoor shoes off the carpet to avoid tracking in dirt, grime, or mud. Additionally, allow customers and employees a designated area to wipe off any outdoor debris before continuing to step on the carpet. Keep dirt secluded to one a particular area can make it easier to clean up and get rid of any dirt that can be tracked throughout the entire floor.
2.Vacuuming
A good cleaning can eliminate dirt, allergens, bugs, and other debris from your carpet. The best technique to get the most from your vacuuming efforts is to dust your furniture and appliances before you vacuum. That way, all the dust in the room can settle on the carpet for your vacuum to clean up. Don’t be afraid to adjust the height of your vacuum. If it is too low, it may damage your carpet. On the other hand, if it’s too high, it won’t remove enough of the dirt and debris. You will need to practice some trial and error to find the right level for your carpet.
3.Clean Up Spills Quickly
The longer a spill stays on your carpet, the more it will be absorbed. That means if you don’t clean it quickly, it could become a stain. The best way to effectively clean a spill from a carpet is to remove any portion of the spill from the top of the carpet. So, if any solid materials were part of the spilled substance, pick them up. Next, put some water on the spill to help clean it up. If this doesn’t get the stain removed, you can use a water-vinegar mix to help clean the area. Whatever you do, avoid rubbing the stain when you are cleaning it. This can push the spill deeper into the carpet and make it even more difficult to remove. For sticky substances, try freezing them before you remove them. This can make it easier to get them all off your carpet. Blotting is always best and if adding any chemicals or products always be cautious and use a carpet sample as a test area first to avoid further damage to your carpet.
4. Periodic Cleaning
Keeping up with cleaning you carpet on a regular/scheduled period can help maintain your carpet’s cleanliness. Scheduling routine cleanings will improve the air quality of your business. When you remove the dust and allergens trapped in your carpet fibers routinely, it can reduce the health threat you might face from dust and other organisms. Professional carpet cleaners also help to sanitize and freshen up your carpet.
5. Restoration
Baking soda is the go-to solution for bringing your carpet back to life. Not only does it clean, but it also kills bacteria, refreshes the pile, and removes odours. Apply plenty of baking soda to completely cover your carpet then use a stiff brush to work it in, rubbing it in different directions.
