We are a trusted commercial cleaning company and as a token of acknowledgement for the trust our clients have showed in us, we would like to share some very useful and effective office housekeeping tips that may come handy to you-

Vacuuming- In many offices, vacuuming is either underestimated or not done properly. Vacuuming is a very effective way to keep your carpet clean which contributes to increasing the life of your office carpet. If your housekeeping staff doesn't vacuum the carpet on a regular basis, it will affect the longevity of your carpet. This is because small but tough particles imbed in the carpet and cut the fibres. Your cleaning staff must make it a point to vacuum the carpet at least once a week.
 
High Foot Traffic & Busy Areas- The busiest areas of your business are waiting lounges, lobbies and corridors. Because of heavy foot traffic in these areas, the carpets in these areas need frequent cleaning and more attention. You must vacuum these areas at least twice a week. Professional office cleaners are trained to clean these areas and they have ample of experience and required equipments too. Hence, it is recommended that instead of doing it yourself, you contact commercial cleaners for the job. Keeping these areas clean will help you enhance the appearance and also extend the life of your carpet.

Vacuum Slowly and More than Once- It is quite difficult to capture small particles in high foot traffic areas. Vacuuming once is not enough, hence whenever you vacuum, you must vacuum at least twice. This will help your vacuuming machine grab as much dirt and dust as possible. You should also vacuum slowly as it is more effective.

Prevention of Bad Odour – if bad odour has become a routine thing and you are wondering what can be done, here is a very simple solution to your problem. Put some baking soda in the vacuum bag while vacuuming and it will help you get rid of it. If it still doesn't work, you must deep clean your carpet which can be done using carpet steam cleaning. Carpet steam cleaning is the most effective way of cleaning your carpet. It deep cleans the carpet. Many people want to steam clean their office carpets themselves, but it is important that appropriate cleaning products are equipments are used, hence you must contact a commercial cleaning company if you feel that you will not be able to do it yourself.
