We like to think of ourselves as generally clean people, but there are areas for all of us that slip our minds when it comes to cleaning. Keeping a clean home or office is essential to good hygiene and health, but what are the areas you should be deep cleaning that you might be forgetting about?
Office Carpet
You might vacuum your office carpet on a regular basis, even daily. But that’s not enough deep cleaning for the absorbent carpet surface because it accrues so much dust and dirt from traffic throughout the day. Unlike residential carpet, office carpet can be walked on (and spilled on) by hundreds of different users in a single day. This exposes the carpet to an astonishing volume of dirt, dust, grease, bacteria, and pathogens. Even vacuuming with a commercial strength vacuum is not enough to really cleanse office carpet.
It’s essential that you get deeper cleaning for your commercial carpet about twice a year. A professional commercial carpet cleaner can also inspect your office carpets and evaluate whether more frequent deep cleaning, stain removal, or odor removal is necessary. It’s helpful to enlist a carpet cleaning company for regularly scheduled deep office carpet cleaning. This means you don’t have to remember to arrange for office carpet cleaning, and it still happens on a regular schedule to keep your office carpets hygienic and germ-free.
Area Rugs
Homes and commercial spaces with hard floors have the benefit of being easy to clean and maintain. And hard floors like tile, hardwood, vinyl, and laminate can be tough on the feet and make the atmosphere colder. To add comfort, homeowners often place an area rug over hard floors. Of course, just like wall-to-wall carpeting, these area rugs become a magnet for dust, dirt, and germs.
Area rugs require special care to maintain their freshness and beauty without damaging them. Because area rugs are often made of delicate fibers and have other trims and special construction, many homeowners put off cleaning area rugs out of fear that they’ll damage them. Your professional carpet cleaner can provide expert deep cleaning for your area rugs to ensure they remain intact and beautiful. Otherwise, you can send your area rugs to the manufacturer for cleaning.
Grout And Tiles
Over time, dirt, germs, and mold accumulate in porous grout and can even form a film over or stain tiles. Because this process happens gradually, many business and homeowners don’t notice their tiles and grout becoming full of dirt and mold. While mopping tiles and grout can help to remove surface dirt and residue that’s accumulated over the course of the day, deeper cleaning is needed to really lift stains and ground-in dirt and mold from the grout. Professional tile and grout cleaning provides a deep lift to this long-standing dirt and mold, making your tiles and grout whiter and brighter than ever before.
Couches And Sofas
The couches and sofas in our home and office settings take a lot of wear. But how long has it been since you’ve given your couches, chairs, and sofas a thorough deep clean? Just like carpets and area rugs, soft furnishings like upholstered couches and sofas accumulate dust, dirt, grease, oil, hair, and skin flakes through the course of day-to-day use. And yet we often overlook these upholstered surfaces when it come to deep cleaning.
A good rule of thumb is to have professional upholstery cleaning as frequently as you get your carpets or area rugs professionally cleaned. This helps to remove all the built-up residues and potential pathogens from within the upholstery fibers.
To maintain real hygiene and cleanliness in your home and office, you don’t want to overlook these four items. Get help from your local professional cleaning company to keep your home spotless and healthy from top to bottom.
