Getting Rid of Dust Mites

Although dust mites do not attack the human body directly, their presence can trigger an allergic reaction causing great discomfort to those who are susceptible to them. In fact, it is not the dust themselves that cause the problem as much as the protein found in their remains and in their excreta, namely DER p1.

Sometimes, normal carpeting cannot remove the remains of dust mites and that is why commercial carpet cleaning needs to be called in.  The fibers of most carpets have a rough fibrous surface that hold dust mites within the pile even when a normal vacuum cleaner is used to suck them out. Only a commercial  carpet cleaner coupled with specialist cleaning agents can do a proper job of removing them almost completely, the operative term here is 'almost completely' because dust mites are impossible to entirely eradicate.

Let's look at the best strategy is for keeping your office as free of dust mites as possible.

• Use a commercial carpet cleaning service that regularly cleans carpets and schedules the use of a hot steam process at least every six months in conjunction with appropriate pesticides.
• Eliminate as much dust from the environment as possible from things like shelving and desks which can accumulate dust in large amounts if left unattended. This means that the cleaning contract should involve cleaning all office equipment especially hidden shelves and the tops of books or folders which may be left unused for long periods of time.
• Look at the possibility of installing air cleaners which will rid the air of dust before it can settle into the carpet.

3 Ways Commercial Carpet Cleaners Work!

There are three methods most commonly used by commercial carpet cleaners. I am sure there are more, but the others I have seen are simply variations of the three we will talk about.

The first and most common method used by commercial carpet cleaners is extraction. This method can also be called hot water extraction or steam cleaning. This method sprays a low pressure mixture onto your carpet and the a wand extracts, or pulls back up the solution into a tank. Most people prefer a hot water extraction, that is the water is heated before it is used to clean your carpets.

The second method commonly used by commercial carpet cleaners is called bonnet cleaning. This is where a technician will pre-spray your carpets and then bring a low speed buffer and run this over your floors. This method works well on surface dirt, but cannot get deep down dirt and other foreign matter.

A third method used by commercial carpet cleaners is called dry cleaning. There is a manufacturer that calls their chemical H.O.S.T. You will probably hear people refer to this as the host method. The chemical is actually a damp powder that looks similar to wet saw dust. This is sprinkled over the carpet and allowed to set in for ten to fifteen minutes. Then it is vacuumed up. One of the only advantages to this method is drying time. It will typically take ten to fifteen minutes to dry after the powder is vacuumed up.

Give Your Carpet a Shag!

Regardless of the fact that your office or work area may be compact, commercial carpet cleaning services are still a very good idea. Smaller areas can be very cost effective to get cleaned.

Don't fall into the trap of thinking that because the carpeted area is small that you can effectively clean carpet yourself or use other staff members to do so.

Protect Your Carpets

Professional carpet cleaners will take care of all floor coverings ensuring they look and smell fresh at all times. Hiring or buying do it yourself machines can result in dirty soapy residue being left behind that actually attracts more dirt to it.

Carpets that aren't properly dried can become dank and smelly. They can also foster mould and mildew growth. By caring for your carpets you will ensure a longer life for them.

Going Green With Commercial Carpet Cleaning!

Various companies have different theories on how to do commercial carpet cleaning. However, it is good to take into consideration and search for a professional carpet cleaning company that employs greener routes. It is not difficult to find such a company, just look for the Business Cleaning Company, Inc.!  Unlike most basic companies, the companies that use green products do not use synthetic products in cleaning. That is why you should search for a cleaning company that does not only aim to clean the carpet but also wishes to be eco- friendly.

The main reason why many professionals have switched to green commercial carpet cleaning is because of the health hazards that synthetic chemicals yield. On the other hand, you should do some research in identifying the right carpet cleaning company that goes green. As much as possible, you should directly ask the company if they are using cleaning chemicals that are environment friendly. Such chemicals are made from natural and organic materials such as citrus peel, natural enzymes, botanical extracts, vegetable fiber, cider vinegar, natural minerals, aloe, meadow foam seeds and many others.

The good thing about the green products that most professional carpet cleaning companies use is that they use cleaning bubbles to take the dirt out from the fibers of the carpet. Likewise, they use less water in cleaning which is why it dries in the soonest possible time. In this way, you can use the carpet sooner. Another good part of these green products is that it uses the natural resources while cleaning.

Leave the Carpet to the Professionals!

It is of the upmost importance to recognize whether it is synthetic or natural fibres that need to be cleaned as well as having an in depth understanding of textures and designs. If your carpets are particularity expensive or large, they will need proper care - something a professional company can guarantee. Certain carpets and upholstery are only covered under warranty if the approved method of cleaning is undertaken, and this is why it is recommended to use specialist nominated contractors to undertake the work on your behalf.

By getting your carpet and upholstery cleaned, you can increase the lifespan of your textiles not to mention cutting down on dust and mites which will help to reduce allergies. Professional carpet cleaners ensure that the carpet is cleaned right from the roots to the ends, guaranteeing the best standard of hygiene. All aspects of your upholstery should be taken care of, from dusting to maintenance.

Most professional companies will offer two types of carpet and upholstery cleaning - wet cleaning or dry cleaning. By making sure that modern machinery and liquids are used means that your carpet and upholstery will be ready to use in a short space of time. Dry cleaning is a method that uses high-pressure steam for in-depth cleaning and is safe for most material types. Dry cleaning is particularly used on sensitive materials such as wools. It is a simple and effective way to deep clean these delicate materials using a no-moisture foam.

Some companies will offer stain protection - this ensures that the fabrics are protected from everyday dirt and stains and will therefore extend the life of the product. Day-to-day cleaning of the product will also become quicker and easier - saving you money in the long term. Other protectors such as anti-static, anti-allergy and pest repellents can be added for extra costs, but provides a great option that will save money in the future.
