If you own your own business you probably have more important things to worry about than the appearance of your carpets, yet you should worry because the appearance and condition of your carpets is one of the first things your patrons see when they come into your place of business. According to the knowledgeable experts at Leading Carpet Cleaning, if the first impression your customers receive is less than stellar it could mean the difference between them doing business with you or going elsewhere. Many business owners are reluctant to schedule a professional commercial carpet cleaning service but it may be for the wrong reasons. When it comes to looking after your commercial carpets, the majority of business owners assume that vacuuming and the occasional DIY steam cleaning and shampooing is all that is needed to keep them in top-notch condition. What you may not realize is that it takes a lot more than vacuuming and shampooing with a rented carpet cleaning machine to keep your carpets clean and sanitized. In the long run you may even be doing more harm than good going the DIY route, ruining your carpets in the process. To help protect your investment and keep your carpets looking just like new, the experts at Leading Carpet Cleaning have debunked three of the most common commercial carpet cleaning myths.
Commercial Carpet Cleaning Myths Debunked
• My carpet is less than 12 months old – it doesn’t need to be cleaned yet: If you don’t think that your carpet needs to be cleaned until it begins to look dirty you are in the majority. Unfortunately, by the time your carpet begins to show the signs of abuse from dirt and debris the damage has already been done. Microscopic particles of dirt become trapped in your carpet and the constant foot traffic can grind the tiny particles deep into the carpet fibers causing them to tear and break down. Over a period of time the constant walking back and forth will cause permanent damage resulting in premature replacement of your commercial carpeting.
• Why hire a commercial carpet cleaning service when I can rent a machine and clean them myself? – With grocery and home improvement stores on just about every corner, renting your own carpet cleaning machine is relatively quick and easy but you need to be award that it can cause permanent damage to your carpets. In fact one of the first things that you will notice about these machines is the amount of water that the machine expels into your carpets is far more than it can effectively remove. Not only does it take a long time for your carpet to dry, it also turns your carpet into a petri dish that is more than capable of growing mold and mildew along with damaging your carpet backing and padding.
• I can keep my carpets smelling fresh and clean with a store brought deodorizer – household deodorizer products can spell disaster for your commercial carpet. Power deodorizers that are designed to be used with your vacuum cleaner contain talcum powder which regular vacuuming doesn’t always remove. In the majority of cases, the talcum powder will build up, become deeply embedded in your carpet fibers. The next time that you try to clean your carpets yourself, the deodorizer will leave behind a chalky white stain on the surface of your carpets that will require a professional carpet cleaning service to remove.
