Commercial carpets are under constant attack from all angles on a daily basis, and no matter how hard you vacuum the carpet surface on a regular basis the majority of dirt & debris will be found to have been pushed down into the carpet pile & below.
Inspection and Pre-Treatment
Before we start cleaning, our technicians will inspect the carpet and assess the degree and type of soiling as well as the fibre type. They will also identify any stains or areas that have been subjected to wear and tear. By carrying out a thorough inspection, the technician can treat any pre-affected areas with the correct pre-treatment solution to break down any particularly stubborn grease, oil or ground in soiling.
Choosing the Right Method
There are many cleaning methods for Commercial Carpet Cleaners to use. Encapsulation is a method using a solution that leaves a fine layer of small crystals on the fibres of the carpet. These crystals grab hold of any soiled particles that may have been left behind in the carpet fibres and are then removed with the next vacuum of the area. The solution is usually applied to the carpet with a sprayer or with a machine that looks similar to a floor polisher. Bonnet Cleaning is a method of cleaning that uses a specialised cleaning pad that is buffed across the surface of the carpet. The pad is designed to clean the surface of the carpet and to pick up any dirt that may have been left behind in the fibres. The method uses a solution that is applied to the carpet prior to cleaning, and the pad is usually worked in sections with the area being cleaned being allowed to dry completely before being cleaned again.
Drying and Post-Clean Checks
Drying times for commercial carpet cleaning can vary from as little as an hour or two for encapsulation cleaning or bonnet cleaning for maintenance cleaning, to 2-4 hours for hot water extraction cleaning, depending on the carpet drying time and the level of ventilation in the area. Once the carpet has dried the technician will inspect for any remaining spots and carry out any further cleaning that is required.

Protecting Air Quality
A further benefit of regular cleaning is that carpets release all the allergens, bacteria and fine particulate matter that have been collected in the fibres. This is important as there is an employer’s duty to provide a healthy and clean working environment. Health and cleanliness standards at work do not just refer to a tidy looking site but a site that is healthy for employees.
How Often to Book
Most Retailer Shops & Hotel’s require a full deep clean of their Carpets on a 3-4 month basis, and Offices with moderate footfall between 6 monthly clean.
Regular professional cleaning of commercial carpets will keep them looking their best and maintain a healthy environment for all workers in commercial premises.
