Introduction

• Commercial carpet inevitably gets dirty over
  time, and when your clients walk into your
  office, it is usually the first thing they see.
  The last thing you want is to tarnish your
  clients perception of your company based on
  soiled carpets. Keeping your floors and overall
  workspace clean is not only a matter of
  reputation but also safety. Maintaining your
  facility makes a good impression on your clients
  and enhances the morale and productivity of your
  staff. When it comes to carpet cleaning, many
  factors affect how often you should clean it.

• Retail stores have more frequent customers coming
  in and out of the store, which results in heavier
  foot traffic that requires a cleaning every three
  to six months. Schools and educational facilities
  usually have a schedule of carpet cleaning every
  three to six months as well. Restaurants and bars
  should maintain a more frequent schedule and
  deep-clean carpets quarterly.

• Carpet pile type, nap, and color will affect your
  cleaning schedule. You should vacuum daily if you
  have a light carpet with a high nap.

• Low-traffic areas such as conference rooms dont
  need to be vacuumed and cleaned more than once a
  week, while high-traffic spaces such as offices
  and hallways should be vacuumed daily. Hiring
  professional carpet cleaners twice a month is
  also something to consider for areas exposed to
  high foot traffic.

So, whats the answer to how often commercial
carpets should get cleaned?

• As a general rule of thumb, carpets should be
  cleaned immediately after spills or damage, while
  regular vacuuming should be done at least once a
  week if not every day. Professional cleaning
  should be performed once or twice a month, while
  it is okay to deep-clean your carpet once or
  twice a year. Again, it all depends on the
  factors above.
