Carpet Cleaning Tips From A Commercial Cleaning Company

Have you ever needed to know about how to your carpets? Why not ask a professional commercial cleaning company? They know all that there is to know about carpet care. In their day to day work they clean large carpeted areas that have a very high traffic area. They also do this job full time, so they have the knowledge and ability to clean any type of carpet which you might have at home.
You might have noticed that in schools factories and offices, some carpeted areas will have a removable matt at the entrance. The purpose of this mat is to catch the initial dirt which might be on your shoes. It’s much harder wearing than the carpet itself and can be easily removed. If you have a look at the state of the carpet in a high use area that is not being  protected by a mat – you will usually scream out “what a mess”!

The thing is though that your home is not unlikely to have the traffic of an office or a school, but you can learn a simple lesson and that is if you have kids, then the results could be the same especially in the winter months. If you place a mat at the front door as well as any other entrance people are likely to use, you can save your carpet a lot of unnecessary wear and tear

You cannot stop dust and other materials falling onto the carpet so some regular vacuuming is recommended. In our daily world of work and home duties, daily vacuuming is not something that is always possible. Once or twice a week should be enough depending on the amount of traffic your carpets get.

Again though, we can learn from the professional commercial cleaning companies. They usually break up the carpeted areas into high and low traffic areas. Stop and think about it for a moment. Most of the traffic will use on the same part of the carpet. For example, when we walk down a corridor, we usually walk in the middle. So the middle part is the high traffic area that might need doing once a day perhaps.

Carpet professionals know the benefits of catching little spills as soon as they happen if at all possible. If you deal with a spillage immediately there is less chance that the carpet will show the stain permanently. The trick here is to always have some general spot cleaner at hand. Always read the instructions when you buy the product. Again this is a tip from a professional commercial cleaning company.

If you follow these tips it will help keep your home carpets spotless and in good repair and it will definitely increase the life of your carpets for as very long time.
