Tips To Keep Your Carpet Clean

Your carpet adds a soft, welcoming feel to your office space. Unfortunately, carpets are also a magnet for dirt and debris.

Here are six tips to keep your office carpet clean and attractive, and maybe even lengthen its life span.

Vacuum Regularly

If we were to choose just one way to lengthen the life of your carpet, this would be it. Daily vacuuming removes the dirt and debris that can settle into your carpet and make it wear out more quickly.

 

Choose the Right Kind of Carpet

If you want to keep your office looking clean, avoid white or other light-colored carpeting in high-traffic areas. These will make any stains or dirt show up even more, requiring more regular and thorough cleaning.

 

Spot Clean When Necessary

Choose a spot-cleaning solution like Folex Instant Carpet Spot Remover or Woolite Advanced Stain and Stench Remover + Sanitize to remove stains as they happen. You can also make your own spot-cleaning solution using a mixture of dish soap, vinegar and water.

 

Use Mats And Area Rugs

Area rugs in high-traffic spots (like at main entrances) act as a buffer zone. Much of the dirt and debris that are tracked in on people’s feet will get trapped on these, so that they are less likely to end up ground into your carpet.

 

Clean Up Accidents Immediately

Clearly communicate your expectations that any spills or leaks are cleaned up right away. This makes it less likely that your carpet will be permanently damaged. Make sure cleaning products are easily accessible to deal with these messes.

 

Hire a Janitorial Service

A janitorial service like The Service Fort can ensure your carpet lasts for years by giving it a professional cleaning about twice a year. They can deep clean all the dirt and stains that you can’t see, yet are still there.
