In your commercial space, carpets take a beating from daily foot traffic and inevitable spills. Gum and stains can quickly make carpets appear unkempt and unprofessional. Don’t let your carpets detract from your business’ image – trust the cleaning experts to keep them looking sharp. Read on for professional carpet and gum care tips.
Lay the Groundwork with Preventative Care
An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure when it comes to commercial carpet care. Implementing proactive measures reduces cleaning frequency and costs:
- Place mats at entrances to trap dirt before it’s ground in. Shake them out daily.
- Enforce a strict no gum policy. Make sure receptacles are available.
- Educate staff to report spills immediately for swift blotting.
- Move furniture and equipment periodically to evenly distribute wear.
- Vacuum high traffic areas like entrances, reception zones and hallways daily.
- Professionally clean carpets every 6-12 months to prevent dirt buildup.
The Perplexing Problem of Gum
Chewed gum ground into carpet fibers seems next to impossible to remove. Attempted scraping usually just smears gum deeper.
Specialized Gum Removal Solutions
Thankfully, commercial carpet cleaners have proven methods to eliminate gum:
- Freezing sprays harden gum so it chips off cleanly.
- Heated water softens gum for easier scraping.
- Citrus oils dissolve sticky residues with gentle rubbing.
- Solvent-based cleaners break down gum’s adhesive qualities.
- Repeated blotting with stain remover gently lifts staining.
Trust the Power of Steam Cleaning
When it comes to deep cleaning and revitalizing carpets, hot water extraction steam cleaning can’t be beaten. This thorough process:
- Loosens ground-in dirt with pressurized hot water.
- Captures freed debris with powerful suction.
- Flushes out spills and stains from base of piles.
- Sanitizes carpets with high heat.
- Grooms carpet fibers to look fresh and uniform.
- Accelerates drying with high-powered fans.
