Every detail influences the productivity levels in an office facility, from comfortable seating arrangements to sleek decor choices. Creating an inviting and professional atmosphere in your office facility is important because it may affect the business’ bottom line.
While carpets might not come to mind often, they are vital in leaving a long-lasting effect on employees and clients. Depending on the type of facility, a carpet may significantly impact occupants or users. This article highlights three (3) benefits of having a professionally maintained office carpet.
Protect Company’s Financial Investment
Carpets are quite expensive and expensive to install, especially in older facilities. Therefore it is crucial to ensure new carpets have longevity. Constantly replacing carpets in an office space can prove costly, and will eat into the company’s profit margins. Having a carpet maintenance service is one of the ways to protect the company’s investment. Carpet maintenance service has corrective actions and processes which helps sustains the life of the carpet. A maintenance service will identify stains, and build-up of dirt and include in it carpet cleaning programs such as extractions or encapsulation services.
It is for this reason that DCSS advocates the use of professional carpet cleaning companies for your carpet maintenance programs. A professional cleaning company has the requisite resources and familiarity with the techniques involved in carpet maintenance programs. Another reason to contract professionals for carpets is to gain access to the carpet warranty. Before a carpet manufacturer honors a warranty, they require proof-of-routine maintenance, proving that professionals care for the office carpets and flooring. If there is any issue with the carpet, the proof-of-routine maintenance will be vital in the decision to allow manufacturers to exercise the warranty.
2. Increase Productivity By Saving Time
If the old adage is true that time is money, then it is important to protect time. Having a professional cleaning company serving the office carpets is a great way of increasing staff’s productivity by giving them their time. The process involved in carpet cleaning includes moving furniture around, pre-treating spots with stains, and vacuuming. Hiring a professional cleaning company means, staff can now focus on the work, for which they were hired to do. Furthermore, it communicates value to staff that their employee appreciates their skills in the particular area they were hired and will not want to expand it elsewhere.
3. Promotes A Healthier Environment
As a business owner, it is important to think about both your customers and your staff. The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has indicated that approximately 30% of reported acute toxic substances released result in at least one injury. Approximately half of those injuries were among the general public including employees. This simply means that the environment one life works or plays in can affect a person’s health negatively or positively. This is particularly true for offices that have carpet flooring. People who suffer from asthma are likely to experience asthmatic onsets when they live, work or play in places where carpets are not well maintained. Carpets are primary living areas for molds and house dust mites due to the presence of human dander (skin flakes).
Use Commercial Grade Equipment
The regular carpet cleaning machine is great, but there are limits to what it can do. With professional carpet cleaning, all machines used are professional-grade, specially manufactured to easily handle all kinds of carpets. Some highlighted features of professional-grade carpet cleaning machines include their stronger suction system and increased cleaning power, which takes away the deepest stains.
Though professional cleaning of carpets is a must and must be routine, a few things can be done periodically before the next major cleaning session to prolong the lifespan of office carpets. As much as possible, clean up spills and stains immediately after they occur. Also, vacuum regularly and use mats at all entryways to help keep debris and dust outside the space.
