Carpet Cleaning for Businesses – Everything You Need to Know

Regular carpet cleaning is a crucial part of running a successful business. However, it’s something that many business owners neglect, largely because of its cost and inconvenience.

Because of this, we decided to put together this complete guide to carpet cleaning for businesses. In it, we’ve outlined everything you need to know before, during, and after the cleaning process.

Before You Get Your Carpets Cleaned

Preparing correctly for the carpet cleaning process is important, especially if you’ve never been through it before. There are a few things that you need to be aware of to ensure the entire process goes smoothly.

For starters, it’s important to do some research to help you choose the right cleaning company. Some carpet cleaners are much more efficient and flexible than others. In a perfect world, you should go for a company who is willing to work on the weekend or at another time when your business isn’t running.

Similarly, you should spend some time preparing your office for cleaning. If possible, move as much furniture and other items out of the room as you can. Identify areas that need special attention, and spend some time dusting baseboards and vacuuming the floors.

On the Cleaning Day

Getting things right on the day of your carpet cleaning is also important. Fortunately, the cleaning contractor that you’ve employed should be able to guide you through the entire process, but we’ve still included a few tips below.

How Automatic Pool Cleaners Help Remove Mould

Many automatic pool cleaners not only suck debris off the floor of the pool, but scrub as well. Some can scrub the walls and steps. This is an excellent benefit, especially when your pool is in the shade for some parts of the day.  Mould is usually found in the shaded parts before those sunny areas. It is always wise to inspect places such as behind the hand rails and other hardware in the pool which can cast shade onto the pool walls and floor.

However, simply running your hand over the walls below the water line will tell you if mould is starting to propagate before you can see it.  The surface of the walls will feel slippery to the touch. It’s essential to get those walls scrubbed down, then shock the pool by adding more chlorine well before you see any black stains.

Questions to Ask Your Potential Transport Company

There are many reasons why you may want to send large items across the country or even internationally.  To do so it’s important to do a little research in order to choose the right freight or transport company for your needs. This will most likely need to be done online, because that is where all the information is. Taking a stab in the phonebook is not recommended because there will not be enough details there.

Once you’ve found some websites for companies transporting goods, read them with these 3 questions in mind.

  • Are they experienced in shipping the kind of product you have? There is no point in choosing a company equipped with one-tonners to freight a bulldozer or something else that is too large to fit on their trucks. Nor should you choose a company that is used to freighting livestock to take care of valuable antiques that are fragile and require special packaging and handling. Find a company to fit your product.

DIY Carpet Cleaning

Some of the activities involved in typical DIY cleaning are:

  • Vacuuming the carpet regularly
  • removing carpet stains by applying specific products you found in a store or researched online or were advised to use by friends and neighbours
  • hire or purchase equipment to clean your carpets
