Deep Cleaning Your Carpets While Protecting Them From Damage

The carpets at your commercial property play a role in people’s perception of your company. A beautiful, clean, and well-maintained carpet leaves a positive impression of your business. Carpets in areas of your business with high foot traffic are susceptible to wear and tear if you fail to maintain them properly.

Once the damage sets in, it’s hard not to notice it. You can’t hide the damage by placing furniture over it as you would in your home. So, your best bet is preventing damage from soil and other forms of dirt, which wear away your carpet over time. The most effective way of extending your commercial carpet’s life and preserving its appearance is by hiring a commercial cleaning company that uses a high-pressure steam cleaner for deep cleaning.

The Deeping Cleaning Process for Commercial Carpets

Deep cleaning, also known as carpet extraction, removes dirt that found its way deep into the carpet’s material, making your carpet look good as new. It can be an extremely labor-intensive and time-consuming process for your company’s cleaning staff. Carpets in areas with high foot traffic require more frequent deep cleaning, about once every three months. Twice yearly deep cleaning is usually adequate for carpets in areas with moderate foot traffic.

The First Step

The first step of the carpet extraction process is vacuuming, which removes dry soil. Otherwise, the deep cleaning process would produce a muddy solution. Removing this muddy solution can be extremely difficult due to wicking, a process in which stains reoccur when wet soil left over after cleaning rises to the top of fibers as the carpet begins to dry.

The Second Step

Once vacuuming is complete, the technician applies carpet cleaner using a high-pressure steam cleaner. The cleaning agent is alkaline because dirt is acidic. The technicians out only extraction rinse, never carpet cleaner, in the extractor. First, they apply carpet cleaner, then remove it with extraction rinse using a carpet extractor.

The acidic nature of the extraction rinse neutralizes all the soap residue. Removing as much soap and water residue as possible is essential to restoring the appearance of the carpet. Otherwise, your carpet becomes dirty faster because leftover soap attracts dirt. Therefore, preventing the buildup of dirt can extend the period between each deep clean.

The Third Step

After rinsing the carpet, the technician will leave the carpet to completely dry before replacing any furniture and allowing people to walk on it. Replacing furniture before the carpet fully dries may cause rust stains to occur.

Similarly, a wet carpet attracts a lot of dirt if people walk on it. As a result, the carpet takes longer to dry, creating a conducive environment for potentially harmful bacteria to breed. You can dry your commercial carpet faster using a floor blower or air mover.
