Carpet Cleaning Tips
- Vacuum your facility thoroughly at least once-a-week, using a high quality vacuum with a HEPA filter to improve overall air quality in your office. HEPA (High-Efficiency Particulate Air) filters have been found to be useful in alleviating some allergy complaints by removing many airborne particles that make allergies worse.
- Respond to spills immediately. Use a cloth or paper towel, put it over the spill and then step on the towel to absorb the liquid and prevent staining.
- Have your carpet cleaned every 6-12 months professionally or by using either a dry-chemical or extraction method.
- Use mats inside and outside of all exterior doors so as to avoid tracking soil or other materials on the carpet.
