Did
you know that the life of your customers' carpets can be extended
with proper care and preventive maintenance? Follow these tips
to keep your customers' carpets looking great:
Walk-off
Mats - Vacuuming entry mats are crucial to carpet maintenance.
More than 75% of soil in any building is tracked in from the outside,
so vacuuming mats daily is extremely important.
Daily
Vacuuming of High Traffic Areas - Traffic areas include
hallways, areas near elevators and restrooms, aisles by cubicles
and reception areas. You may not see the dirt, but it is there
doing its damage, working its way deeper into the carpet fibers.
The longer it is there the harder it is to remove.
Carpet
Spotting - Although you may not be responsible for carpet
spotting, every employee should report any spots they see on carpet.
Spills that remain on the carpet too long can result in permanent
damage.
We recommend
offering carpet spotting services to your customers so you can
take care of spots as soon as they happen. (Plus, it's a very
profitable add-on service)
Preventative
Maintenance - Use of closed containers in carpeted areas
will greatly increase the life and appearance of carpeting.
