Picking the Right Company for Commercial Carpet Cleaning

Hiring a certified, trained, professional commercial carpet cleaner instead of an inexperienced, ill equipped company will ensure that no damage is done to the commercial carpet, and will increase the longevity of the carpet. Carpet cleaners that claim to do commercial work don’t always have the best equipment, and often times are not IICRC certified to complete a commercial carpet cleaning job.

Commercial properties often make the mistake of hiring inexperienced companies, and end up having to pay to restore or replace the carpets faster than they should. In this article we will state the advantages of hiring a professional, Certified commercial carpet cleaning company, and also outline what to look for before hiring a commercial carpet cleaning professional.

Distinguishing Commercial from Residential

It is important to note that commercial carpets are completely different from residential carpets. Residential carpets are designed with comfort in mind, where commercial carpets are designed to take a beating and last longer. The amount of foot traffic commercial carpet endures, the color, and even the fibers are completely different from residential carpet.

Commercial carpet cleaning often requires specific tools that residential carpet cleaning companies do not carry. Hiring a commercial carpet cleaning company ensures that a commercial carpet will be receiving the best possible treatment with the proper equipment.

Hiring a residential carpet cleaning company to clean commercial carpet is like hiring an auto mechanic to work on an airplane. You wouldn’t want to get on a plane that was worked on by an auto mechanic, so why would you want a company without the proper equipment and experience to maintain/clean a commercial space. Take some time to learn the differences between residential and commercial carpets.

Commercial Carpet Cleaning Certifications

Experience is one factor to consider when hiring a carpet cleaning company, but it is important to also consider the certification programs that a company has acquired. Education programs such as those provided by the IICRC provide classes that train individuals on how to take care of a variety of issues a cleaning company may encounter during a commercial carpet cleaning job.

Some skills that training courses teach include smoke damage treatment, and color treatment for commercial carpet. Many commercial carpet cleaning companies implement treatments and restorative processes  that residential carpet cleaning companies are unaware of.

Companies that have earned their certification from the IICRC have a Cleantrust certification. Be sure to ask your local carpet cleaning company if they are Cleantrust certified before you decide to hire.

Hiring the Right Company

Choosing the right carpet cleaning company can be a challenge. A lot of cleaning companies will claim they are capable of restoring and maintaining commercial carpet spaces, when in reality they are damaging the commercial carpets they work on. Don’t just find a company that has the right equipment, find one that has the experience to operate the machinery correctly and effectively.

The tools that commercial carpet cleaners use are more expensive than rental options, that a lot of low end inexperienced companies will use. The commercial carpet cleaning professionals use equipment that has more suction power, and cleaning agents that are less harmful and more efficient than traditional cleaners.

At Monster Clean, we use the best products on all of our commercial carpet jobs. Our machines have the highest amount of cleaning cycles per minute, and don’t cause unnecessary harm to the commercial carpet fibers.

Ask what machines your local carpet cleaning company uses and do some research before you decide to invest in a commercial carpet cleaning job.

Conclusion

In large, commercial facilities, the cost to re-carpet a facility can be in the tens of thousands of dollars. It is worth the time and financial investment to invest in a commercial carpet cleaning company that is certified, and experienced to take care of your carpet. Asking if the commercial carpet cleaning company is certified to work on commercial carpet spaces, and taking some time to research the equipment the company uses can save a business thousands in the long run.

The Key to a Healthy Work Environment and Increased Productivity

You’ve taken some time to layout the office in a way that increases work productivity, moving the desks around, rearranging the cubicles, and perhaps even adding water fountains. Office layout is an important factor to consider when trying to increase work productivity. Real businesses know the significance of optimizing office space for effective work flow and productivity. But many businesses forget to take into consideration the environmental conditions of a commercial office space.

Temperature, lighting, office noise, and even the level of cleanliness all have an impact on work productivity. People who have allergies or certain health conditions may experience symptoms that inhibit work flow. Having a clean work environment ensures that employees won’t be faced with reactions to allergens such as dust and mold that can build up on surfaces over time if not taken care of.

Dust & Mold Buildup

Carpets are the biggest culprit for mold, dust, and bacteria build up in a commercial office space. Employees snacking at their desks, spilled drinks, and the daily office walkway traffic builds up grime and leads to mold growth over time. Mold can cause individuals with allergies to experience a variety of symptoms.

These include coughing, itchy, watery eyes, and even hives. Those who have asthma and are exposed to mold may experience wheezing and have difficulty breathing. Dust in carpets can cause runny nose, sneezing, and nasal congestion. To prevent the buildup of mold and dust, commercial carpet cleaning should be done at least once a year.

However, don’t just go with any carpet cleaning company, try to find a company that uses a rotary steam extractor to clean the carpets. Many commercial carpet cleaning companies fail to properly remove carpet contaminates because they use sub-par equipment that leaves the carpet moist, creating the perfect environment for new mold to grow.

We use rotary steam extractors because they dig deeper into the fibers of the carpet, remove more contaminates, and don’t leave carpets moist. This guarantees that no new mold will form after the job is complete.

Along with a deep carpet cleaning, it is also a good investment to receive a full-service carpet protection. Applying a carpet protectant makes it so that contaminates wont seep into the fibers of the carpet, making it easier for vacuums to draw the mold and dust out of the carpet during weekly janitorial cleaning. Using a sealant on commercial carpets also preserves the life of the carpet, potentially saving a business thousands that would normally be spent to replace the carpet.

Decreased Productivity

Without routine carpet cleaning in an office space, employees will experience all of the symptoms of mold and dust exposure, and in some cases, may even end up calling out of work. Aside from the time spent out of work due to allergies, employees will be less productive during the day while in the office.

Allergic reactions to mold and dust can be distracting, making employees less focused on their work while at the desk, and more likely to leave the office to find relief form their allergy symptoms. The cost of regular commercial carpet cleaning is much cheaper than the combined cost of decreased productivity from an entire office space of employees. With routine commercial carpet cleaning, employees will be able to stay focused longer without having to battle symptoms due to exposure to mold and dust.

Having a clean work environment not only increases work productivity, but also contributes to an overall boost in office morale. If employees see that an employer is taking care of the office space, it creates an environment where the employees feel that they are being treated well. People in an office setting are more likely to work harder, and more efficient when they are working for an employer they feel cares for them.

Hiring a nightly Janitorial company will keep your office space clean year-round, so that every day employees come into work they feel they are in a refreshing, clean environment. For our clients, we have created a multi-stage janitorial service that maintains the commercial carpet, cubicles, walls, and any surface that may acquire dust and grime. We recommend to have a commercial Janitorial service maintain your office space throughout the year, and then periodically have the carpets and cubicles deep cleaned to remove the deep contaminates.

Conclusion:

Commercial carpet cleaning is essential to establishing a clean and efficient work friendly environment. Employees that are taken care of are more likely to take care in the work they do. Along with commercial carpet cleaning, Monster Clean provides janitorial maintenance is necessary to prevent excess build up.
