Office Carpet Care

Office carpeting often becomes dirty due to customers and employees tracking in dirt from outside.

All office spaces aim to project an excellent image to impress their clients and to keep their employees content and motivated. When a workspace feels clean and inviting, employee morale increases, and more customers feel like the business takes itself seriously, making it seem more reliable.

Carpeting, especially, can impact the overall ambiance of a space. The space feels dirty if the carpet is dirty, no matter how clean the rest of the office is. Office spaces with carpeting, especially in high foot traffic areas, should consider these carpet care tips to help keep their office pristine.

Hard surfaces at entrance points

Office carpeting often becomes dirty due to customers and employees tracking in dirt from outside. It wouldn’t be appropriate for an office to ask people to remove their shoes at the door, so instead, installing hard surfaces at each entrance where people can shake off their shoes creates a barrier between the outside world and the office carpeting.

Walk-off mats

Additionally, walk-off mats provide even more of a barrier between the street and the office space. When people enter the office, a walk-off mat is a visual reminder to consider how dirty their shoes may be. On dry days, a walk-off mat collects any loose dirt that otherwise would have been tracked onto the office carpeting. On rainy days, however, employees and customers entering the office can wipe their feet off several times to ensure their shoes do not dirty the carpet.

Cleaning code of conduct

Establishing a cleaning code of conduct helps set a precedent for how the office should be cared for so that anyone in the office regularly helps keep the space up to standard. A cleaning code of conduct may include guidelines on drinking coffee, having meals, and disposing of waste in the office to ensure that the carpet is not stained or dirty, helping to keep the space fresh and presentable.

Regular carpet cleaning

Despite all efforts, carpeting in an office eventually becomes dirty and needs cleaning. Daily vacuuming helps to fight off regular dirt, but occasional stains and deep-set grime are inevitable. Be sure to schedule regular steam cleaning to ensure that dirt and stains do not become deeply set into the carpet so that the space always looks pristine for employees and customers.
