Commercial Carpet Cleaning

Commercial carpet This commercial carpet is beginning to show signs of wear.

Routine carpet cleaning is important to commercial buildings because carpets act as a filter, trapping dirt, dust animal hair, and basically anything you walk on outside the building.  Manufactures suggest the following:

  • If you have a spill attend to the stain as soon as possible because the longer the stain stands the harder it will be to remove later
  • Buying a good vacuum and vacuum regularly so the soils don’t build-up
  • Maintenance carpet cleaning in light soil rating = 1-2 times annually, medium soil rating = 6-12 times annually and heavy soil rating = 12-52 times annually

Clean carpets also allow for a healthier work environment, maintain the value of the property and send a message to your clients/customers that you take pride in your company and that shows them you will do the same for them.  If you would like to set up a carpet cleaning maintenance schedule please call us.
