Stop being so grubby: Clean those business carpets

If you think your carpet at home needs a professional carpet clean, spare a thought for the commercial carpet. Carpets across the globe in offices, meeting rooms, and the corridors of power endure a high footfall of traffic, exposed to damaging materials, and have a heightened risk of staining; and are responsible for employees calling in sick by hosting dust, pollen and mould. Yet commercial carpets are given far less care and attention than a domestic carpet.

Forgotten about by office managers and corporate cleaners, the commercial carpet is open to abuse. In their home environment colleagues may ask guests to remove muddy boots, only eat in the kitchen area, or make sure bottles are empty before they are put in a bin - at work? These carpet protective actions are not on the radar. Commercial carpets are indeed the poor relation of domestic floor coverings.

Keeping commercial carpets clean is crucial for your business, and they should be cleaned regularly, and if not, why not?

Clean carpets improve first impressions

Did you know people form an opinion within 60 seconds? Whether you work business to consumer, business to business, or even industrial, you only get one opportunity to make a first impression, and that impression lasts a lifetime.

The general condition of the office matters. It’s a reflection of the business - its work ethic, standards, how you value employees and a measure of the quality you expect from them and the products or services you deliver. A clean and tidy office is not just about impressing clients and customers, it’s about nurturing a positive environment for current and future employees.

Professional Commerical Carpet Cleaning an Office Carpet

Professional commercial carpet cleaning removes bacteria and allergens

People who suffer from allergies know how to control them in their home environment, but when it comes to the workplace, their environment is out of their control - the cleanliness, the ventilation system, humidity, temperature, the technology and materials used.

Allergy symptoms include:

Headaches
Breathing problems
Nasal problems
Eye conditions
Skin conditions

Professional commercial carpet cleaning removes bacteria and allergens but also the dust, dander and microscopic organisms that penetrate the deeper parts of the carpet. These irritants are known to cause flu-like symptoms, sinus issues and escalate asthma. You will note these symptoms are the most common reasons for employees calling in sick. Minor illnesses are costly for businesses no matter what their industry.

Corporate office carpet cleaning gives a fantastic ROI

Deciding to outsource any aspect of a business requires much thought. Should I do it myself? How will it impact my business? What value will it bring my company? Rather than thinking about professional carpet cleaning as an expenditure you could do without, appreciate it as an investment.

Is it damaged or a dirty carpet? First things first: is your carpet truly worn out, or just in need of a deep clean? It’s easy to mistake a dull, grubby appearance for permanent damage, but more often than not, embedded dirt and grime are to blame.
