Whether you have a showroom, restaurant, or office space, the appearance is the important thing that matters the most. When a client or customer walks into your showroom or office, the first thing they notice is how clean and organized your workplace is. This is where the carpet will make or destroy your reputation in seconds.
If the carpet at your workplace is dirty or worn out, your clients and customers will immediately assume that you are not responsible, and they will not trust you. So, we believe having clean carpets is as important for your business as providing quality services.
Now the question arises: how often should you get your carpets cleaned??
Well, the answer to this question depends on various factors. Let’s have a look at those factors first……
A common perception is that a carpet should be deep cleaned only once or twice a year. Other than that, simple vacuuming would be enough. However, carpets accumulate dust, germs, and allergens pretty quickly. And if not cleaned timely, they can turn into a severe health hazard for you. So, carpets must be cleaned timely and regularly. But, how regularly or frequently depends on various factors like foot traffic, colour and type of carpets, usage, and weather conditions in your area.
The first thing that determines the frequency of your carpet cleaning in Singapore is foot traffic. The more feet are coming into your workplace, the more should be the frequency of your rug cleaning services. So, if you are in a showroom, restaurant, or hospital, you need to get your workplace cleaned every two weeks.
However, that does not mean you should get your entire hospital, restaurant, or showroom cleaned twice a month. The lobby or reception area of your workplace would be receiving more foot traffic than the inner office area. Your lobby and reception should be cleaned more frequently, and you can increase the cleaning routine for other parts of your workplace.
The next thing that affects the number of rug cleaning services you have at your office is the colour and type of your carpets. Light-coloured carpets get dirty quickly, and they need cleaning more often compared to dark-coloured carpets.
Similarly, high-pile carpets like shag and plush carpets get dirty more quickly because they have longer fibers. And as longer fibers accumulate dirt more easily, cleaning them also takes a lot of time and effort. Vacuuming carpets every day would not be enough, and you will need a rug cleaning service at least every two weeks.
The type of office space also plays a vital role in determining how often you should have office carpets cleaned. Apart from foot traffic, you should also consider the type of office space or building in which you have your office.
If your workplace has an open space, it is more prone to accumulating dirt. However, closed or centrally air-conditioned offices don’t get dirty more often as the windows and doors are mostly closed, and dust and dirt particles fail to enter the office premises.
Now that you know the foot traffic in your office, the type and colour of your carpet, and the type of your workspace determine how often your office carpet should be cleaned, here is another factor that affects the frequency of cleaning at your workplace.
Rainy weather seems to affect the cleaning routine the most. You will have to vacuum more often and spot cleaning might also increase because of muddy feet entering your office. Experts recommend you should get your office carpets deep cleaned after every rainy season.
Lastly, COVID-19 has completely changed the way we live. May it be going out to dinner or completing your day-to-day tasks, there are a lot of safety protocols that we need to follow in order to stay safe. Similarly, government and authorities have some strict cleaning regulations because carpets, if not cleaned regularly, can become a home to germs and viruses.
So, you need to follow the government guidelines and if there is a COVID-19 case in your office, you will be required to disinfect and deep clean your carpets immediately.
We hope now you know how to determine what should be the deep cleaning frequency of your workplace carpets. So, now it’s time to get rid of your part time office cleaner Singapore and hire professional rug cleaning services.
