The best way to keep the carpets in your office, restaurant, and other corporate spaces clean is to entrust them to a professional San Diego janitorial service. When it comes to minor, everyday stains and spills, however, tackling them yourself is often the best option. Here are some tricks from the cleaning professionals that will help you.
- Remove spills and stains as quickly as possible. The longer that they are allowed to set, the harder they will be to remove.
- Test carpets for color fastness before applying cleaners and shampoos to the entire carpeted area.
- Allow carpets to dry thoroughly before walking on them. Your cleaning service will most likely opt to clean your carpets in the evening or in the early morning and you should pick lower traffic times as well, if you feel that you need to clean the carpet yourself.
- When it comes to spills, blot them with a clean, absorbent cloth to remove as much as possible from the carpet. Make sure to blot, rather than rub, since rubbing spreads the spill into the fibers of the carpet.
- Vacuum thoroughly and regularly, paying close attention to the high traffic areas. Vacuuming not only remove dirt and debris, but also extends the life of your carpet.
Keeping your carpet clean will help improve its appearance, longevity, and help to create a healthier workplace as well.
