Why Commercial Carpet Cleaning is Important to Your Team's Health

By: christineh Tuesday February 7, 2017 comments

For many businesses, cleaning their office carpets are not a high priority. The amount of work it takes to move all of the office furniture and equipment off of the carpets and then wait for the floors to dry before returning the office back to its usual state can be seen as a major inconvenience. You would be right; however it can be even more of an inconvenience in the long run if you opt to skip this necessary maintenance.

Diligently maintaining your office carpets will significantly lengthen the life of your carpets. The dirt and other particles that you and your employees bring in on their shoes can cause irreparable damage. When dirt and other particles accumulate in the fibers of your carpet the fibers become weak and will break down. These particles are sharp and can cut the carpet fibers from continued friction (walking/office chairs). This will thin your carpet and wear bald spots into your floor. Other particle material like grease, starches, and oils are higher in acidic content. These are usually produced by cooking, car fumes, and other normal day to day encounters. The acidity weakens the material of the carpet over time if not taken care of properly and damages the integrity of your flooring.

Longevity of your carpets is not the only benefit you will reap if you care for your carpets regularly. The CDC estimates that proper cleaning of an office space can decrease absenteeism by 50%. This includes all forms of regular cleaning maintenance. Carpets are not to be overlooked. The dirt, dust, and dead skin that will accumulate becomes a feeding ground for dust mites and other allergens. Exposing yourself and your employees to allergens on a consistent basis will cause more illnesses and more sick days. Even if your employees power through their symptoms and still show up to work, they will likely not be as productive as usual and could even infect other employees. Not all illnesses can be prevented and your staff will eventually bring in outside germs, but decreasing the number of allergens and other irritants by vacuuming and cleaning your carpets will help make your business run smoother in the long run and improve your productivity.
