10 Reasons to Clean Your Carpets Year Round

As the weather gets warmer and people make their way outside, custodial departments must not lose sight of what should be done indoors. Carpets are not forgotten for many reasons. Doug Berjer product manager for CFR, manufacturers of recycling portable carpet extractors, gives us the top ten reasons to have carpets cleaned year round.

The correct way of cleaning and maintaining carpets:

1. Extends the lifespan of carpets. Extraction method cleaning for your carpets can prolong their shelf life dramatically with regular upkeep, protecting your floor-covering investment.

2. Protects indoor air quality. Carpets capture suspended pollutants, but at some point those pollutants need to be cleaned out to maintain quality of the carpet and indoor air quality.

3. Vocabulary Cleanup Makes Carpet Easier to Care For Dry soils germinate the majority of carpet soiling when carpets are thoroughly kept clean on a regular basis, most dry soils can be cleaned using regular vacuuming.

4. Removes spots and stains. Like other soils, spots and stains can attract further soiling. Fast removal protects carpeting from damage.

5. Stops allergens and bacteria from building up. Wet soiling of carpets can be responsible for the accumulation of multiple harmful pollutants.

6. Improves the aesthetics of any space. When a carpet is dirt free and well maintained, it does speak a lot about the overall cleanliness of a home or a facility.

7. Improves worker morale. When the workplace is clean, workers feel better about being at work. This includes the carpeting.

8. Ice-textured. Makes carpeting look and feel clean and fresh.

9. Get rid of the dust mites and bedbugs that may have set up shop in carpets.

10. Preserve the warranty of your carpet. Most carpet manufacturers’ warranties are dependent upon carpets being cleaned with the extraction method within a certain amount of time, typically every 12 to 18 months.
