Carpets are the unintentional air filters of the office. The carpet fibers catch many things from dust, dirt, and everything in between. Commercial carpet cleaning has many benefits that can improve the workplace, but getting the carpet cleaned frequently will make an impact on your finances. The good news is that there is a happy medium. Every carpet will show when it needs to be cleaned. 

Foot traffic

The more foot traffic an area, the faster the carpets will become grimey and need to be cleaned. One area in every building that will need to be cleaned frequently is the entryway. The rugs and carpets there collect all of the snow and dirt that are on the ground outside. Many things tracked in from outdoors can carry contaminants, germs, viruses, and others that can make your professional building unhealthy and uncomfortable. Carpets with high foot traffic should be professionally cleaned once or twice every year.

Vacuuming schedule

Vacuuming should be on a regular schedule, such as every week or every other week. This keeps the rugs and carpets from becoming too dirty too quickly. It is highly recommended that high traffic areas get vacuumed every week. Not only does it take away some of the dirt from the carpets, it also makes it easier to deep clean, making professional cleaning go by faster. The less often you are vacuuming your professional building’s carpets, the more often you should get your carpets professionally cleaned.

Type of business

Depending on the industry your business is in, you may need to pay more attention to your carpets. Places like food service, restaurants, hospitals, treatment centers, and other places with services that care for people’s health and safety, need to have carpets cleaned more often to avoid spreading any illnesses. In these places, it is recommended to get the carpets professionally cleaned every three months. In offices, call centers, and other businesses that don’t require serving food or involve health, it is recommended to get a professional clean once or twice a year.  

Carpet style

Types of carpets and rugs can present a difference in how often your carpets need to be cleaned. A thicker carpet will either have more fibers in each pile or thicker strands of fiber in each pile. A pile, which is also called a nap, is one loop of fibers that makes up the carpet. If you know the number associated with the piles on the carpet, the higher numbers will mean a thicker carpet. Lighter colored carpet and thicker carpets will need to be professionally cleaned more often.

Filled with stains

Stains happen, and that’s okay. There are many ways to clean it up. When it becomes too much, that is when you’ll need professional carpet cleaning. You’ll know when it is time to professionally clean your carpets when there are a lot of stains or the stains are too dark to clean normally. We know that looking professional is a big deal when potential customers or clients walk in. That’s why making sure you get your carpets professionally cleaned when there are dark stains is important. 

Seasonal changes

As seasons change, there are different issues to worry about. Springtime brings allergies, mud, and more. The winter brings snow, salt, and slush into the carpets of your business. If many people come in and out of your building, carpet cleaning is recommended after the wet seasons and after the dry seasons to keep the carpets looking clean.
