Why professional rug cleaning is important
A rug can be a great feature in an office or commercial environment. They can add personality and warmth to a room, without having to replace the entire floor. It is, however, essential you have your rug professionally cleaned regularly to ensure your rug remains a positive feature of your room and not a health hazard or visual deterrent. So, why is professional rug cleaning important for your business? Here’s a few reasons:
1. Protect your investment
High-quality rugs, although often a cheaper alternative to new flooring, can be expensive. Regular, professional cleaning will ensure your rug remains in the best condition possible. Hiring a cleaning service is much more cost-effective than purchasing a new rug entirely.
2. Eliminate health risks for your staff and clients
Even if visually your rug looks clean, it may be harbouring harmful bacteria and allergens, not to mention unhygienic dust mites. From footfall to food spills, a rug in a busy workplace is exposed to a lot of different substances. The only effective way to ensure your rug isn’t a health hazard is to have it regularly cleaned by professionals.
3. Protect your company image
When you spend a lot of time in the same environment, you can become oblivious to certain sights and smells as you have been over-exposed to them. This means that whilst you may not notice a unpleasant odour coming from your rug, a new client or employee will. Having a dirty rug with an odour creates the impression your company is disorganised and your workplace is unpleasant.
4. Professional rug cleaning is unparalleled
You may think that if your rug gets hoovered and any spills are cleaned up, your rug is clean. Unfortunately, this often only delivers a superficial surface clean, leaving dirt and bacteria trapped deep in the rug’s fibres. Professional cleaning equipment, such as a steamer, is required to ensure your rug is thoroughly clean.
5. Protect your warranty
Some rugs and carpets are required to be professionally cleaned in the terms and conditions of their warranty. If your rug is beginning to falter in quality prematurely, the last thing you’d want to find out is that it isn’t covered by its warranty due to you not meeting the cleaning conditions. As previously mentioned, the price of cleaning a rug is much more cost-effective than replacing it entirely.
