(MENAFNEditorial)
Many office managers and owners love the idea of carpeted floors because it reduces noise when people walk around, while offering a feeling of luxury and comfort for employees. But the biggest drawback of having carpets in your office is the fact that they can often be harder to maintain than other types of floor materials.
Maintenance is a key aspect of keeping carpets looking good as new, but that doesn't mean that you have to wait for the commercial cleaning company to arrive. You can find a way to keep the carpets clean through simple measures.
Here are some clever ways to preserve pristine carpets before your next office cleaning session:
All Entryways Should Have Detachable Rugs For Wiping Feet
If you live in an area prone to dust, heavy winds or rain, then chances are your employees are going to bring in outside dirt when walking into the office. You're probably not going to ask your employees to leave their shoes at the door, so the best way to keep your internal carpets clean is to install detachable rugs at all entryways into your office. This will prevent mud, dust and other debris from getting into your office unnecessarily. Get your employees to start wiping their feet before entering the rest of the office, which is a great way to leave unwelcome dirt outside.
The best part of these detachable rugs is that they can easily be removed and cleaned. They are also relatively inexpensive, so you can replace them from time to time to ensure that your office remains as dirt free as possible.
Cover Employee Seating Area With Plastic Floorcoverings
If you run a busy office, then you know that employees are glued to their desks very often during lunchtime as well.
In fact, you'll probably notice a majority of your employees eating lunch while sitting in front of their computer, which often means that items like bread crumbs, salad leaves, meat pieces and other foodstuffs could end up spilling on and dirtying your beautiful carpet floors. Luckily, instead of losing your mind, there's a great workaround in the form of plastic floorcoverings. These plastic coverings are typically placed below the seating area, so anything that ends up spilling can easily be wiped from the plastic.
To ensure that your carpets remain clean, you may also want to encourage your employees to eat lunch leisurely in designated café areas. This allows them the opportunity to socialise with colleagues and helps you promote a healthy working environment.
Don't Drag Furniture And Computers Around The Office
Many carpets start to fray and appear jagged when heavy computers and furniture are regularly dragged over them. Before setting up the office, take the time to carefully consider where you want everything placed, so that you don't end up changing your mind and moving things around.
This moving action will ultimately destroy your beautiful carpets, forcing you to replace them with new ones to maintain the spotless appearance of your commercial premises, especially if you're a client-facing business.
Your commercial cleaning company will also find it more challenging to navigate through worn out carpets, so try your best to avoid dragging furniture and computers on them.
Organise Regular Deep Cleans
Your commercial cleaning partner will typically recommend how often you need to deep clean your carpets based on the foot traffic within your office.
Generally speaking, offices with higher foot traffic need more regular carpet cleaning sessions than others. These deep cleaning sessions will have your carpets looking good as new for the most part. Professional commercial carpet cleaners know how to deep clean between carpet fibres and can navigate through the meandering wires with ease, so make sure you organise this as regularly as possible to keep the place looking spotless.
Regular office cleaning is an important part of maintaining a healthy workplace, so follow these tips to keep your carpets as clean as possible.
