By A green carpet cleaning method typically refers to chemical-safe and environmentally friendly carpet cleaning solutions. They are cleaning methods that use cleansers that are nontoxic and safe for both humans and pets. A green carpet cleaning method also uses less water and energy. Organizations are now steering toward being more conscious of doing their part to be environmentally and socially responsible.
Additionally, going green helps organisations develop a positive reputation. It also meets the rising consumer demand for more sustainable products and services.
Carpeted offices make great aesthetics and add a softer feel to the office. It however requires more effort to maintain and clean. Office carpets are typically over large surface areas and have the highest traffic. This makes office carpets the dirtiest compared to carpets in homes. Office carpets are a catch-all for dirt, dead skin cells, bacteria, hair, viruses, mold, and many other allergens.
Deep cleaning office carpets daily is non-sustainable. It is recommended that office carpets be deep cleaned at least 1-2 times a year especially in areas with the highest traffic in order to maintain a hygienic work environment. In areas where there is a low traffic, once every 12 months is recommended.
Ensuring that the carpets go through green cleaning is important not only for the extension of the carpet’s life but also for the safety and health of employees.
In this article, we look at 4 ways you can maximise the effectiveness of green carpet cleaning and do your part in helping your company maintain a healthy environment. We will also share with you why De Hygienique is your trusted partner in helping you maintain your office carpets.
1. Vacuum Carpets Regularly
Regular vacuuming helps remove dust and dirt particles quickly before they are able to accumulate in the carpet pile. Once carpets get heavily soiled, it would require more effort and resources to deep clean the carpet. This also means increased use of water, detergent, and electricity to clean.
Regular vacuuming also helps reduce friction caused by dirt on the carpet and pressure from foot traffic which may cause carpets to look dull over time. It not only helps prolong the carpet’s appearance but also prevents premature wear and tear. A cleaner carpet leads to improved indoor air quality.
2. Remove stains and spillages quickly
Spills can cause permanent stains and damage to carpets. It is important we act immediately when spills happen to avoid further damage. One should know that the longer stains stay on carpets, the harder it gets to remove.
Blot spillages quickly using warm water and a clean cloth. It is safer for you to use natural cleaning products when it comes to stain removal. This includes baking soda and vinegar.
3. Choose plant-based or green carpet cleaning products
Plant-based and eco-friendly carpet cleaning products are more biodegradable and have far less of an impact on the environment. Selecting products with green/eco-friendly labels is a great way for us to keep our environment safe and conscience clear.
4. Engage professional carpet cleaners who use green carpet cleaning techniques
