Preferred for offices, commercial premises and establishments that receive the public, rugs and carpets have many advantages: they provide warmth and comfort, enhance the premises, and even have a positive effect on sound insulation. On the other hand, cleaning them is a real challenge: a simple vacuum cleaner is not enough, you also have to take care to remove dirt and embedded stains, and get rid of pests responsible for allergies. This is the whole point of professional carpet cleaning : by using the services of a company specializing in the maintenance of floor coverings, you guarantee the hygiene of your premises while extending the life of your rug or carpet.
Why is it necessary to maintain your rugs and carpets?
Within a company, carpets and rugs are often placed in areas of high traffic. However, the fibers of these floor coverings easily retain dust and allergenic particles, are sensitive to dirt, and quickly become breeding grounds for bacteria. Also, over time, bad odors become embedded and colors fade. This is why it is important to ensure their proper maintenance, by carrying out a professional deep carpet cleaning.
Why do you need professionals? Because traditional carpet or rug maintenance is not enough. Of course, you need to vacuum regularly (at least once a week) and ventilate the rooms well – that’s the basics. However, these tasks, even if carried out rigorously, are not enough to guarantee the cleanliness and hygiene of your surfaces, especially if their condition is already problematic. To do this, you need to carry out a deep cleaning once or twice a year – depending on how busy the premises are and how dirty they are.
Using a cleaning and maintenance company allows you to maintain your carpets and rugs without damaging them. In addition, a company specializing in professional carpet cleaning adopts the right methods and has the right equipment: for example, to be effective, a vacuum cleaner must be equipped with a HEPA 13 or 14 filter at least, capable of trapping allergens.
Why choose professional carpet cleaning?
There are several reasons why you should entrust your carpet or rug cleaning to professionals:
To ensure the cleanliness and hygiene of your offices or premises .
To avoid damaging carpets and rugs when cleaning , because each type of covering has its own appropriate technique. Indeed, the level of dirt and other residues embedded in it varies depending on the nature of the fibers and hairs. As is the case for the fabrics of a sofa, for example, it is important to adopt the right method to avoid damaging the material. Because a damaged carpet is good for the trash!
To extend the life of your floor covering , through regular and well-performed maintenance, preserving the integrity of the materials as well as the colors.
What are the methods for cleaning a carpet or rug?
In a professional carpet cleaning service, the company is responsible for cleaning, washing and/or disinfecting the coverings, as well as stain removal, as required. Various methods are used for this purpose:
Dry cleaning has the advantage of reducing the volume of water required and drying time. However, this technique does not thoroughly remove dirt and residue.
Injection and extraction cleaning involves spraying a mixture of hot water and foam onto the floor using a powerful cleaning tool. This method removes most of the residue retained by the fibers. The soiled water is then absorbed by extraction before drying completely.
Injection and brush cleaning involves forcing a mixture of water and detergent into the coating using counter-rotating brushes. The crystals formed are then vacuumed up.
Steam cleaning involves using a cleaner to project a jet of hot steam onto the surface to be cleaned, without using any product. This eliminates bad odors and fights against microbes, bacteria and mites.
Finally, it is possible to conclude the professional carpet cleaning operation by disinfecting and deodorizing the surfaces.
How much does professional carpet cleaning cost?
The price of a professional carpet cleaning service varies depending on several factors: the technique used, the type of carpet or rug, the size of the surfaces, the nature of the stains and dirt, etc. Companies generally offer two billing methods: a flat rate (taking into account the number of rooms to be cleaned) or by surface area . In the latter case, expect to pay between 20 and 70 euros per square meter .
