From interns to high-profile clients, your office floor sees people from all walks of life. All those footfalls can wear down your carpets over time, taking away from the professionalism of the workspace. While professional carpet cleanings are essential, you can do your part to maintain the flooring in between these restorative appointments.

3 Maintenance Tips to Use in Between Office Carpet Cleanings

1. Establish a Vacuuming Schedule

While there’s no substitute for a deep, professional carpet cleaning, having one twice a year isn’t enough maintenance for a carpet walked on every day. To prevent tracked-in dirt, dust, and debris, you’ll need a strict vacuuming schedule. Depending on how many people work in your office, this could range from once a week to daily. Whatever your office needs, make sure your janitorial staff keeps up with this schedule to prevent sediment from eroding and matting down the carpet fibers over time.

2. Treat Stains Immediately

In the midst of a bustling office, it can be hard to prioritize the carpet. However, leaving spills unaddressed will almost surely lead to permanent stains, which even professional carpet cleaning sometimes can’t remove. To prevent discoloration, put your janitorial staff on the job as soon as you notice a stain or at least by the end of the business day.

3. Stop Dirt From Entering the Carpet in the First Place

While it’s impossible to prevent your office carpet from getting dirty at all, you can significantly lower the amount of dirt and sediment that gets trapped in the fibers by establishing a walk-off system. Place rough mats near entrance doors, escalators, elevators, and in hallways leading to offices. The more dirt you can get off of your employees’ shoes, the cleaner the carpet will be.
