What is the difference between commercial carpet cleaning and residential carpet cleaning? How are commercial carpets cleaned? The same techniques are used in both scenarios, but the main difference is the type of carpet in a commercial building. Commercial carpets get high traffic through them on a daily basis. They are generally either wool carpet or nylon carpet. These are the most common types used in offices and industrial areas; both have good wear qualities.
Commercial Carpet Cleaning Methods
Either carpet type can be steam cleaned or dry cleaned using low moisture cleaning techniques. With the wool carpet, the cleaner must ensure that it is not left too wet or it may start to let off a smell. When cleaning pure wool carpet, it they will always letf of a slight smell. This is because it is a natural fibre. But the odour will soon dissipate after the cleaning process has finished. This also goes for homes with woolen carpet in them. It is normal for them to have an odour about them during the cleaning. The main thing is that the odour goes after they have fully dried. If not, then they have been left too wet.

Carpets, whether it be wool or nylon, can be cleaned using low moisture technology. Once the cleaning is finished, they can be walk on dry. This is especially handy if the rooms have to be used the same day. Or if the clean has been done during the night, the carpets can be ready for the following day’s works.

Regular Vacuuming
Looking after commercial carpets is very important in making them last for as long as the manufacturer intends them to. It will entail regular vacuuming and also paying attention to the edges. Most people only vacuum the main traffic areas and forget about the edges. But over time, the edges can build up large amounts of dust, leaving the carpets and the offices looking shabby. The dust along the edges can also start to stain the carpets over time, so it’s important to do your vacuuming properly and on a regular basis.
Handling Stains
As well as vacuuming, it is important to attend to spills that may occur during the day. This is another thing that is overlooked and can lead to unsightly marks forming on the surface of the carpet. Most commercial grade carpets stand up well to spills and stains and they can be easily removed if done straightaway. All that is needed in most cases is a damp cloth to blot up the mark. Then it can be fully removed the next time the carpets get professionally cleaned.
Running a business can be a stress at the best of time so using a professional to keep your carpets looking clean and fresh will over time save you money and time.
