Taking care of the carpets in your business is no small feat! If you have a lot of foot traffic, your carpets will get dirty and wear out faster. If you want to protect your carpets, you need to start by taking good care of them, starting from the very beginning by selecting the right carpeting materials for your needs. When choosing carpets, talk to a professional and get their recommendations on which materials will suit your needs and will last the longest. For example; 100% wool or wool blend carpets are easy to maintain and look great!
Even if you choose the most durable carpets in the world, you still need to ensure that you take proper care of them or they will wear out fast. We know a thing or two about carpet care as a professional cleaning company. So here are our five tips to make your carpets last.
- Schedule annual deep cleans. Make sure you perform a full shampoo or deep clean of your carpets several times a year. If you are worried about damaging the carpet with steam cleaning methods, consider dry carpet cleaning methods. We offer extensive floor care cleaning and can also recommend specialized carpet cleaning vendors to our facility management customers!
- Use the right machinery and make sure it’s well maintained. Not every vacuum is the same. You need the right carpet cleaning tools for the job. Regularly cleaning your vacuum and carpet cleaning equipment will help your machinery perform better and keep your carpets from getting wrecked during the cleaning process. Our team regularly cleans and maintains all our equipment to do the best job on our customer’s floors.
- Make sure you know how to do the job right. Good carpet cleaning takes skill. We spend a great deal of time training our team members on proper carpet cleaning practices and skills. If you are taking care of your carpet cleaning, make sure you and your employees know how to do the job right!
- Use matting in high-traffic areas. Matting is a great way to protect your carpets, especially during bad weather. Laying down mats to catch rain, snow, or dirt will help protect your carpets and prevent stains. Just make sure to invest in high-quality mats and clean them regularly.
Our last tip is the most important: get a MicroShield 360 treatment! This antimicrobial coating is approved for most fibers and is a great way to prevent bacteria and mold build-up in your carpets. Once the solution is sprayed using the electrostatic solution, it will bond to the carpet fibers and prevent bacteria, mold, and virus growth between cleanings. This extra protection will keep your carpets smelling fresh and staying clean longer. The results of one treatment last for up to one year!
Replacing the carpets in your business isn’t cheap or easy. It’s a big job, so it’s best to invest in preventative care to keep your carpets looking their best for years to come. If you need a hand with your carpet care, give our team a call. We’re happy to help!
