Carpeting is among the largest and most expensive installations in most buildings and if treated kindly, they can outlast all other furnishings.
If they are soiled, there is very little that can be done to make the building look clean and inviting. A building with clean carpets improves the air quality and overall environment, making it a pleasant place.
The time to clean commercial carpet is before it looks soiled… the problem is that not many cleaning programs follow that rule.
Why is commercial carpet such a challenge to clean? Let’s look at commercial carpet construction:
Commercial carpets are built with dense tufts of tightly packed fiber.
They are typically glued directly to the floor.
Heavy foot traffic mats down fibers.
A typical janitorial service "spot vacuums" rather than vacuuming the entire carpet surface.
The construction and installation yields minimal air flow; this compromises extraction, which leads to cleaning problems.
Cleaning experts and carpet manufacturers agree that a systematic approach to carpet care is essential to the life of your carpet and the health of your facility.
An effective carpet care program should include: interim and restorative maintenance.
Interim maintenance involves the removal of surface soil before it becomes deeply embedded in carpet.
Low-moisture, interim cleaning returns carpets to use within 30 minutes and for a fraction of the cost of restorative hot-water "steam" extraction.
Restorative maintenance is for maximum soil removal.
Unfortunately, for many businesses that choose to wait to this stage, the costs may run into the hundreds or even thousands to return a carpet to an acceptable level of appearance.
Truckmounted or portable hot-water "steam" extraction is used for periodic deep cleaning when interim cleaning no longer bears the soil load of the carpeting.
This carpet required a costly and labor-intensive process to restore it's appearance.
The secret to successful interim maintenance is simple: Schedule minimum cleaning frequency.
In order to maintain a consistent level of interim care, it is important to identify heavy, medium and light traffic areas, then accordingly schedule — and adhere to scheduled — minimum frequency cleaning.
