Winter weather can take a toll on office carpets, especially with snow, water, and salt being tracked indoors. Here are three effective strategies to minimize wear and tear during the snowy season:
⦁ External Defense: To keep office carpets clean, start by preventing outside elements from entering. Use outdoor carpets and mats at entryways to trap dust, dirt, and moisture from shoes. Properly plan for snow and ice removal from parking lots and sidewalks to reduce the introduction of unwanted elements.
⦁ Temporary Mats for Flexibility: In the unpredictable weather of the East Coast, using temporary mats during the harshest winter months can be a cost-effective solution. These mats are easily cleaned, withstand heavy foot traffic, and can prevent permanent damage to your office flooring. Choose washable options and ensure they extend a few feet into the building.
⦁ Spot Cleaning Maintenance: Despite preventive measures, some moisture, dirt, and salt will inevitably find their way indoors. Stay proactive by regularly vacuuming and promptly spot-treating soiled areas. This helps prevent permanent damage or discoloration by removing dirt before it becomes a stubborn stain.
Post-Winter Revival: Once winter ends, entrust Do It Right Cleaning with a deep cleaning to refresh your carpets for spring. Our comprehensive cleaning routine will eliminate the lingering effects of winter, providing your employees with a clean and revitalized entryway.
