Carpet and Upholstery Cleaning for Your Business

Even the highest quality items can show soiling over time.  Protect your investment by calling your local SERVPRO to clean and maintain your carpet and upholstery. 

Carpets act as a filter, trapping dust, dirt, gases, animal hair and other soils.  All carpet manufacturers agree on actions you can take between carpet cleanings to increase the life span of your carpet. 

IICRC states that 79% of soil in carpet is dry soil.  Vacuuming is a key component to proper care and maintenance of carpet.  Preventative action items include:

1. Regular vacuuming
2. Spot removal
3. Pilating the carpet to prevent matting
4. Moving furniture to change traffic patterns
5. Using walk-off mats to limit the amount of soil tracked onto carpet

Professional cleaning can address moderate and heavy soil conditions in your carpets. How often you’ll need professional cleaning depends on soil build-up, traffic, type and color of carpeting. A good rule of thumb would be to professionally clean your carpet every 12 months. The best advice is to clean carpets before they become totally saturated with soil. If you wait until carpets look really dirty, the carpets may never be restored to their former appearance. Dirt builds up in layers, and when a carpet looks dirty you are only seeing the dirt at the tips of the fibers. More dirt is hiding below the surface down near the base of the pile, causing damage to the carpet. When a carpet is saturated with dirt, the soil has penetrated crevices and has become firmly lodged.
