When you think about indoor air quality, carpet cleaning is probably not the first thing that comes to mind. Still, commercial carpet cleaning can have a significant impact on indoor air quality. Indoor air quality or IAQ, is a term that refers to the overall quality of the air within your building and structures, especially related to the health and the comfort and safety of your building’s occupants. Indoor air quality can be impacted by a number of factors including contaminants like mold and bacteria, gases that can come from the materials used in your building, grit and dirt carried into your building by foot traffic and more. Of course, filtration and ventilation are key components of maintaining high indoor air quality in your building, but regular commercial carpet cleaning services can go a long way in further improving indoor air quality. Your office carpeting acts like another filter in your facility and regular cleaning of carpets assures your carpets effectively trap pollutants and contaminants rather than allow them to freely circulate in your building’s air.
Contaminants & Pollutants Have a Free Ride Into Your Facility
Contaminants of all kinds hitch a ride on the bottom of the shoes of your building’s visitors traveling into your facility each and every day, contributing to a reduction of indoor air quality if left unchecked. Dirt, clay, sand, soil, grit, bacteria, mold, hair and skin and worse have a free trip right into your facility where they can exacerbate indoor allergies, cause irritation and even cut and wear at your office carpeting. Carpeting can have a number of advantages in a commercial office building including a high end look, effective sound dampening, softness underfoot and acting as a filter of sorts, trapping and holding contaminants and preventing them from becoming airborne, which in turn leads to better indoor air quality and a healthy work environment.
In Order to Work As A Filter, Regular Office Carpet Cleaning Is Critical
The effectiveness of carpeting as an air filter is reliant on it being regularly cleaned. Most carpet manufacturers recommend at least every six months. In order to get more from your office carpeting in terms of both air quality improvement and usable lifespan, carpets must be properly cleaned and maintained at regular intervals. In fact, many Detroit carpet cleaning companies use a carpet maintenance program to help you stay on an affordable, optimal carpet cleaning schedule. In fact, planned ahead of time, commercial carpet cleaning prices can offer you a long term savings and help you avoid costly, premature replacement of this pricey building asset.
