How Often Should You Clean Carpet in Your Business?

Commercial Carpet Cleaning
Most carpeting, especially commercial carpet, is designed to camouflage dirt, so if dirt has carpets looking dull, it’s probably well past time for a commercial cleaning.

Why care about your carpet cleaning calendar?

Dingy carpet hurts your business far beyond merely looking a little ugly. Clean carpet serves your business in a variety of ways…

  • Regular cleanings extend the life of your carpet, saving you money.
  • Own commercial building space? Regularly cleaning carpets cuts down on complaints and liability for building owners and managers.
  • Clean carpets are part of the image your business projects, helping customers feel at home in your location and employees feel positive and productive.
  • Clean carpet reduces loose particles, protecting indoor air quality - and subsequently the health of your customers and employees. Keeping carpets clean has even been shown to reduce exposure to cancer causing substances that can be collected in carpet fibers.
  • Clean carpet reduces illness-inducing biological contaminants (bacteria, viruses, mold, etc.) that can negatively affect your business.
