So, the time has come to introduce some changes into your working environment. Be it a complete change of space or a minor or bigger touch up, there are several things included in the process.
You may want to get some new office furniture, change the color of the walls, or you may decide to get some new carpets to bring a new atmosphere to the office. Carpets can do that, you ask? As a matter of fact, they sure can. They are not just a simple addition to your furniture; they actually contribute a lot to the overall look of your space. You can look at carpets as pieces of decoration, and choose the size and design based on what you would like the office to look like.
If for example, you’re going for a slick, elegant look your carpets should match that and be in more demure and toned down colors. Or, should you opt for a modern, contemporary office space you could expand the range of colors or even think about a more out-of-the-box shape.
The options you have today are almost limitless, and you’re the only one who can set some boundaries when deciding on the final pick of your office carpets. Also, carpets aren’t reserved just for the office; they can completely change the look of your stairs and hallways. As we’ve just seen, carpets can prove to be quite beneficial to your professional space.
Still, as much as they can serve to revamp the look of your office or to create a new one for a new space, they can’t do all on their own; you need to give something back to them. And by something, we mean regular maintenance and cleaning if you want to keep them looking their best for the longest time possible.
What are some of the reasons you should have your office carpets professionally cleaned on a regular basis? And when is the perfect time to get them properly cleaned?
One of the main reasons to clean the carpets is to get rid of the germ and bacteria stuck on the carpet surface. Vacuuming is one way to go and it is a must, but you should also include some more extensive carpet cleaning to eliminate all the dust, dirt or stains. The debris may cause your carpets to look dull and lifeless, which can have a negative impact on the overall office appearance, especially when it comes to first impressions of potential clients walking into the workspace. Also, if not maintained in a correct manner, your carpets may end up having some rough patches, that can make them look a bit shabby and worn. It is much harder to solve that type of issue once it develops; it is quite easier to think ahead and have the professionals take care of the carpets for you and prevent them from looking old or dirty.
When it comes to offices, one of the most cost-effective solutions is commercial carpet cleaning. It has many advantages – you get to choose the right professionals for you (always go for the reputable ones), as well as the cleaning schedule which will suit you and your employees the best. By having your carpets professionally cleaned and prolonging their lifespan, you will also save money by not having to have them replaced and installed more often than you should.
If your preference is commercial carpet cleaning, then it’s time to talk about the “when” – we’ve already asked the question when the time is right to clean the carpets, and how regularly. The usual timing would be every six months, sometimes even more often. Cleaning schedule can depend on different facts, such as how many people frequent the office space on a daily base, the color and fabric of the carpets, etc. The lighter the color is the more you need to have them properly cleaned in order to keep them looking their best. These are just some of the variables experienced cleaners will take into consideration.
We at Geyen Group South will always make sure to cater to your company’s needs by coming and inspecting the office space first, give you an estimation and work on finding the most efficient and cost-effective solution for your business.
When talking about the longevity of the carpets, which is something most office managers think about, we should say it is not that easy to determine a carpet’s lifespan, as there are many factors that go into it. We mentioned the frequency of people in the office space, type of carpets, etc. But, the most important thing to consider when it comes to slowing down the wear process of office carpets is consistent vacuuming and cleaning on a regular basis by experienced commercial carpet cleaning service.
Still, with all that, you can only do so much as each carpet will eventually start to show some signs of wearing, even after being professionally cleaned. Why is that so? Well, apart from the test of time that each and every carpet will fail at some points (carpets are usually replaced after six or seven years), other things, such as footsteps, sand and soil can affect the fiber, make it look worn and damaged. That is why, after some time, even with professional cleaning, carpets won’t look completely brand new, with all the expertise and good intentions included.
But you shouldn’t worry; we at Geyen Group South will do our best to make sure that day comes as late as possible, with expert carpet cleaning and other maintenance services.
As we’ve seen, having carpets installed in working areas offers many advantages. Besides making space look more polished and refined, they also have a practical side, like making the floors slip proof and being an excellent air filter since the dense fibers attract and keep away germs and bacteria. Should you decide to include carpets in your office, we will be more than happy to provide the best care and maintenance possible and to do our best to make the days spent there better and even more enjoyable with beautiful and clean carpets.
