Beyond adding to the overall aesthetic appeal of your office, carpets are also more affordable than any other hard flooring choices. Nonetheless, they may not be resistant to dirt and stains hence, regular cleaning is a must. To keep your office carpets in good condition, proper cleaning should be done at least once each year, in general. This article will share some factors that may affect the frequency of cleaning your office carpet. Read on to find out more.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b>1. Style and colour of the carpet<\/b><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The cleaning frequency can be determined by the colour, nap, pile type and density of office carpets. In general, lighter colours require more frequent cleaning. As different styles of carpet come with their own fabric, density and structure, this explains why cleaning frequency varies according to the style. The best way is to seek professional help from <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/cleancare.com.sg\/sem\/services\/office-carpet-deep-cleaning\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">office carpet cleaning <\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">companies in <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Singapore<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Listed below are some cleaning tips for different types of carpet fibres:<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Natural fibres<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This fibre includes wool carpeting. Wool carpeting must be vacuumed with care. If you are to use a revolving brush as a cleaning equipment, make sure the bristles are flexible and forgiving.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Synthetic fibres\u00a0<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Nylons, Polyesters and <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.britannica.com\/science\/olefin\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Olefins <\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">carpets are made of synthetic fibres.

Foot traffic<\/b><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If office carpets are used in a large building lobby with high foot traffic, monthly deep-cleaning will be required. On the other hand, in a small office with low foot traffic, cleaning work can be done once or twice each year. The amount of foot traffic determines the rate of dirt and sand accumulated on the carpet surface. Remember to take employees and visitors alike into account as well. Refer to the degree of foot traffic and the cleaning frequency below:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Light foot traffic- clean your carpet 1 to 2 times a year<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Moderate traffic- clean your carpet 2 to 4 times a year<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Heavy traffic- clean your carpet 1 to 2 times a month<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b>3. Type of commercial building\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The type of office space you have also contributes to the carpet cleaning frequency. This varies according to how busy your office is, and the proximity between the office and the main entrance to the building.
