When you work in an office, no matter which company you work for, some things are always the same. The bathroom is always out of toilet paper, the sound of your boss speaking makes you nod off and the carpets are never completely clean. Whether you examine the carpets in the break room, bathroom or employee office area, chances are the carpet’s pretty dirty.
Hopefully your employer pays to have professional carpet cleaners from your local Teignmouth area, like us at Rogers Cleaning, perform a deep cleaning every once in awhile, but they might not call us often enough. Regardless of how spotless professionals leave your office carpet, there’s no way to keep it spotless between professional cleanings without a bit of work. Here are some tips to keep the carpet clean until you can call a Teignmouth carpet cleaning professional:
Use rugs where there is heavy foot traffic
While it may seem counterproductive to lay a rug on top of carpet, this can truly help preserve the life of your carpet and keep it clean for longer. There are probably some areas of your office that have heavier traffic than others, like in hallways or conference rooms. By using rugs in these areas, you aren’t only protecting the carpet from getting worn down, but you are also ensuring that no food or drink spills in that area.
Encourage employees to only eat and drink in break rooms
Many employees have the habit of drinking coffee at their desks. While this can be a delicious and relaxing way to start the morning (or keep going throughout the day), it’s also one of the top sources of carpet stains. Because coffee is so dark, it can stain easily and it takes a lot of work for it to come out- if it even can come out. Food crumbs can also unknowingly fall onto the floor and get walked into the carpet. To prevent these common reasons for dirty office carpet, you should encourage employees to only have food or beverages while in the break rooms. If you plan correctly and have hardwood or tile floors in the breakroom, or a rug at best, you can prevent many potential spills.
Vacuum and spot clean frequently
If you want to keep your office carpet looking fresh between professional cleanings, you’ll have to put in some work. Make sure that you vacuum frequently and spotclean whenever necessary. Don’t wait for the stain to settle in before you try to tackle it- if something spills, address the stain immediately so it doesn’t become permanent. When you perform these tiny tasks daily, the carpet cleaning is easier for professionals and your carpet looks clean longer.
