How Often Should You Clean Your Office Carpets?

Aside from the obvious reason of keeping a professional appearance, cleaning your carpets helps prevent the buildup of dust, mildew, and other potentially dangerous particles which may cause health and safety problems for your office employees and clients. In addition to this, leaving dirt or other particles or small objects embedded in your carpet can cause permanent damage to the carpet. More than likely, cleaning your carpet regularly is much cheaper in the long run than frequently replacing your carpets! The following is a list of factors that can influence the frequency of your carpet cleaning.

What type of carpet is it?

Colour​, pattern, nap, pile type, and density all have an affect on the required frequency of carpet cleaning. A lighter coloured, high-pile carpet will likely need a more frequent clean than a dark, heavily patterned, low-pile carpet.

How much foot traffic is there?

The amount of foot traffic in specific zones of your office can affect how much they should be cleaned. More often than not, areas of high traffic will require more frequent cleaning than areas of lower traffic.
Some good rules of thumb to follow for cleaning based on foot traffic are:
  • High traffic areas: vacuum daily and deep clean monthly

  • Medium traffic areas: vacuum 2-3 times per week, deep clean 3-4 times per year
    ​
  • Low traffic areas: vacuum 1-2 times per week, and deep clean 1-2 times per year

What is the climate like?

If you get a lot of rain or snow, mud is likely to be tracked in which will require more frequent cleaning. Damp, dirty carpets also increase the likelihood of mildew or mold forming on or underneath the carpets. Areas of higher humidity are likely to see an increase in risk of mildew or mold, so carpets should be cleaned more frequently in such areas to prevent mold spores from taking root.

If it's allergy season and you are situated in an area where a lot of pollen or other allergens may find their way into the carpet, it may be a good idea to clean more frequently to help reduce allergy symptoms in your employees.

I find it great when you said that keeping a carpet clean can help a company save more compared to having them replaced frequently. Learning about this convinced me to recommend a local steam cleaning service for my uncle. That way, he can keep his bookstore free of dust and prevent any of his customers from getting sick.

I find it helpful that you suggested that a person who owns an office should take note of the color, pattern, nap, pile type, and density in order to determine how often it should be cleaned. Speaking of offices, office owners should also hire a local service to clean their windows once every three months. Doing this will help extend their lifespans while improving one's exterior at the same time.

I liked it when you said that one should take note of the color and pattern of the carpet. My mom just moved to a different office space, and the carpet seems to need some maintenance. I will be sure to help her find a cleaning company that will help her clean the pace before moving in.

Office buildings should have their carpets cleaned every 6 months to a year depending on the number of employees and the conditions they walk in on the way to the building entrance. Schools should have carpets cleaned on an every three to six month schedule.

I definitely agree with you that office carpets should be cleaned regularly, especially for high traffic areas. I do agree that doing so will ensure the cleanliness level and hygiene of the office. Assuming that I own an office, I will definitely want to have my carpets cleaned often.

I had absolutely no idea that you are supposed to deep clean your high traffic area carpet once a month! My wife and I are moving into a new home soon and we want to keep our carpets as nice as possible. We will definitely be scheduling regular deep cleanings of our carpet to keep is good as new!

I think you are right about making sure that you vacuum heavily trafficked areas. I need to get a cleaning crew for my carpets. I'll have to consider getting them all steamed.

At some point, it will need to be replaced. The longest carpet warranty you'll find is 15 years

My friend wants to make sure that his business has clean carpets. It makes sense that getting a carpet cleaning specialist would be beneficial! That seems like a good way to ensure that he handles things right.

Carpet cleaning requirements will be unique to your office, and will depend on everything from levels of foot traffic, to the weather and your office location.

I appreciate for sharing the informative article. I often get asked, “How often should I clean my office carpets?” This is a great question and one that I get asked a lot. The answer is really up to you. It all depends on how dirty your carpets are and how often you use them. If you have a lot of foot traffic, spills, or pets in the office, you may want to clean your carpets more often. If not, once a year may be enough for you. Thanks for this post.

Carpets in an office can quickly become stained and matted with dirt, dust, and other debris. It is important to clean them on a regular basis to maintain a professional appearance and to protect your employees from potential health hazards. How often you need to clean your office carpets depends on the amount of traffic they receive and the type of material they are made from. In most cases, a good vacuuming every week and a deep cleaning every month or two should be sufficient.

Office carpets must be cleaned more often than our home carpet. Since offices have more people coming in and going out, beside you would want it to look fresh and clean all the time.
Discussing this is really helpful.

Some business owners think vacuuming once a week or having one professional cleaning every year is enough to maintain their carpets’ good condition.

As often as it needs, that is, before it gets pungent and dirty. Since it is in work station it needs cleaning often.
