For the deepest clean and preservation of your office carpets, follow these steps to ensure a thorough and effective carpet cleaning process.
Step 1. Pre-clean vacuum of carpets
Initiate the carpet cleaning process by performing a pre-clean vacuum. This step is crucial for removing debris trapped in the carpet fabric, including sand, dirt, lint, and hair.
PetraClean employs backpack vacuums equipped with HEPA filters, known for trapping small particles and minimizing allergens. For stubborn hair removal, additional tools like sticky rolls, rubber brushes, and stiff brooms are recommended.
Step 2. Spot test carpet cleaning chemicals
Before applying any cleaning chemicals to your carpets, conduct a spot test to ensure compatibility and avoid unexpected staining. Every carpet reacts differently to cleaning chemicals, making spot testing imperative.
Test in a non-obvious spot under furniture or desks to verify that the chosen chemical does not impact the colour or condition of your office carpet.
Step 3. Pre-clean office carpets to help with odours, viruses and bacteria
In the pre-clean stage, PetraClean advocates the use of hospital-grade disinfectants and odour neutralisers. This not only combats unpleasant odours but also aids in the destruction and prevention of viruses and bacteria, essential in today’s COVID-19-conscious environment.
Step 4. Steam clean office carpets
Opt for a commercial-grade truck-mounted steam cleaning machine for a thorough and deep clean. Portable steam cleaning machines, despite being lightweight, lack the necessary water pressure and suction for a comprehensive carpet cleaning.
PetraClean utilises a USA-manufactured carpet cleaning unit permanently fitted into a large van, ensuring high pressure, industrial-strength vacuum pump, and efficient steam cleaning. Products like carpet shampoo and spot cleaning solutions are applied during the steam clean for optimal results.
Step 5. Post-clean office carpet treatments
Apply selected disinfectants and/or odour neutralisers post-cleaning to maintain a fresh and germ-free environment on your office carpets.
Step 6. Time to dry
Ensure good airflow to accelerate the drying time of steam-cleaned carpets. While industrial strength carpet steam cleaners have powerful suction, proper airflow is crucial. In Perth’s favorable climate, carpets dry quickly in summer, and the use of fans, blowers, and air conditioners on ‘dry’ mode aids in faster drying during winter.
When it comes to cleaning carpeted office floors, a professional clean is unparalleled. Carpets are a substantial investment, and regular deep cleaning is essential for their longevity.
