Why should your business consider a carpet maintenance program?
We can think of several excellent reasons;
1. It protects
your carpet investment.
2. It protects your company's image.
3. It is endorsed by your carpet's manufacturer.
4. You can balance your carpet expenses in equal billings.
5. It helps improve indoor air quality.
6. It extends
carpet life.
When you decide to purchase a carpet, a maintenance program should
be factored into the carpet buying decision. If carpet is neglected,
its appearance will suffer, shortening the carpet's useful life
and raising overall costs in the long term.
Carpet
maintenance should be a scheduled program rather than a series
of random cleanings when soil levels dictate. Most complaints
about the appearance and performance of commercial carpet can
be related to a lack of maintenance.
One of the biggest mistakes companies make when planning a maintenance
program is their budget. Carpet represents a substantial investment
and as such, a proper maintenance program should be implemented
to ensure you get the maximum possible return on your carpet investment.
If the carpet maintenance budget is too low, the carpet may need
to be replaced prematurely. Life cycle costing has proven that
the proper maintenance program will lower the long term costs
associated with your carpet purchase.
A
carpet maintenance program accomplishes four things:
1. Soil
control
2. Pile retention
3. Spot and stain removal
4. Accumulated soil removal
