How to Protect Your Office Carpets During Minneapolis' Rainy Season
If April showers bring May flowers, it’s time to get your home and office ready for all of the rain and mud. Mud and rain don’t only make your carpets look dirty, they also can wear down your carpets, making it look older faster and more difficult to clean. Minneapolis weather can be unpredictable, so it is best to be prepared for anything. To get your office ready for the rain, there are several tips that you can use to make a great impression on your clients or customers.
Mats at the door
Keeping a washable mat at your business’ entrances is a great way to keep the carpets in your office from taking the brunt of the mud. Normally, mats would be great to leave shoes on after taking them off, but in an office, everyone keeps their shoes on. The best way to get the least amount of mud on your office’s carpets is to ask everyone to wipe their shoes on the mat before continuing inside. Washable mats are much easier to clean than carpets, making cleaning shoes on the mats important.
Carpet covers
The most inconvenient thing about carpet covers is the noise and tacky look to the covers. However, it is great for the occasional event that is during this rainy season. If your office hosts events, like an open house, keeping the rule to wipe shoes at the door isn’t feasible. That is when it is best to use carpet covers. It is also a good idea to have a designated place for umbrellas by the entrance so that the rain and dirt from them doesn’t get on the carpets.
Regular cleaning
The attention an office carpet needs depends on the hustle and bustle, or lack thereof, that happens inside. With some people working from home, there are offices that aren’t being used as often as they used to. Even so, it is important to have a regular vacuuming schedule. Dirt, dust, and mud build up over time, meaning the longer the wait, the more difficult it will be to clean. Stains should always be dealt with right away, but most vacuuming should be done once a week for an office.
Professional cleaning
Getting your carpet professionally cleaned helps remove any build up of dirt in your carpets so that any mud that is tracked in is easier to clean. The best part of professional cleaning is how the office carpet will look and smell to clients and customers. A clean environment always makes a great impression.
