How Dirty is Your Office’s Carpet?
250 people can bring 3 pounds of dirt in the building each work week! That’s 12 pounds of dirt sitting in your carpet every month.
If carpeting isn’t professionally cleaned on a consistent basis, it becomes dirty and can affect the health of your customers and employees. HEPA vacuuming can clean up some of that dirt, but professional commercial carpet cleaning is the only way to extend the life of your carpet.
How Do Professionals Clean Commercial Carpets?
Hot Water Extraction – The Ultimate Clean for Your Carpets
The hot water extraction method is a popular commercial carpet cleaning service that uses high-pressure water and an effective cleaning solution to flush out dirt, dust, allergens, and other contaminants from the carpet fibers. This method is highly effective in removing stubborn stains as well as reducing germs, bacteria, mold, and mildew. It also helps to restore the natural beauty of carpets while leaving them feeling softer than ever before. Hot water extraction is one of the most efficient ways to clean your commercial carpets and ensure they look their best for years.
What’s the process for commercial carpet cleaning?
Step 1: Pre-inspection
Once an appointment is made, our professionally trained staff will start with a pre-inspection of the area. We’ll be looking for stains, stain type, and pre-existing conditions such as tears or fading. We’ll also look at the type of carpet and square footage.
Step 2: HEPA Pre-vacuum
Our staff will vacuum the carpet using a HEPA vacuum to pick up dirt, small particles, and dust. We’ll move smaller furniture to vacuum underneath, but vacuum around more permeant furniture such as desks and cabinets.
Step 3: Pre-spot Stain Treatment
To ensure the complete removal of treatable stains, we’ll pre-spot stains using the most effective and safe cleaning agents.
Step 4: Wet Extraction with Cleaning & Deodorizer Agents
Using the latest technology, our machines use wet extraction with cleaning and deodorizing agents. When the machine is turned on, the water is heated and the solution is circulated until optimum temperatures are reached. Our professionals will line service the entire area, being careful to clean all spaces thoroughly.
Step 5: Post Spot
If any spots remain after wet extraction, we’ll revisit the spot and treat it again. Sometimes, spots under the surface don’t become visible until the wet extraction process is completed.
Step 6: Wet Extraction Repeat as Needed
When a carpet has never been professionally cleaned, it could need a second wet extraction. We’ll communicate with you if this is needed or not.
Step 7: Post-Cleaning Inspection
Once we have completed all six steps, our final step is a post-cleaning inspection. We’ll be looking to make sure all stains are best effort removed, all areas of the carpet are clean, and the carpet is left smelling fresh. The carpeted area usually takes about 3-4 hours to dry completely. Foreman Pro Cleaning provides detailed cleaning and exceptional services.
How does professionally cleaned carpet differ from cleaning your own carpet with a rented machine?
One of the biggest problems with a rented machine is the moisture it leaves behind. A professional knows how to remove excess moisture and typically has a more advanced machine to do so. If too much moisture is left behind, mold can grow. You also run the risk of using too much cleaner and deodorizer when you clean carpets yourself. If cleaner is left behind, it can actually attract more dirt in the future. Trust our professionals to do a quality job and save you time!

Frequently Asked Questions About Commercial Carpet Cleaning
What is the best cleaning method for cleaning commercial carpets?
In our experience, hot water extraction is the best option to thoroughly clean commercial carpets. How water extraction provides a superior clean by using high pressure and hot water to penetrate deep below the surface of carpet fibers, while also removing debris, dirt, and other contaminants. The process also helps to restore the carpet’s original vibrant colors and keep them looking newer for a longer time. This method is highly recommended by leading carpet manufacturers and cleaning experts.
What other methods are available for commercial carpet cleaning?
Other popular commercial carpet cleaning options include dry cleaning, foam extraction, steam cleaning, and bonneting. In comparison to hot water extraction, these methods provide a lighter clean with quicker drying times but can leave residue behind in the carpet. These methods are also not as effective for deep cleaning and removing embedded dirt, dust, mites, and other allergens from the carpet.
What should I consider when selecting a commercial carpet cleaner?
When looking for a professional to clean your commercial carpets, it’s important to select a company that has expertise and experience in the industry. Make sure that the company follows the best practices for cleaning carpets and uses high-quality equipment and supplies, such as hot water extraction machines. Additionally, inquire about their rates and whether or not they offer any special services, such as deodorizing or spot removal treatments.
How long does it take for carpet to dry when using hot water extraction?
The drying time for carpets cleaned using hot water extraction will depend on several factors, such as the type and thickness of the carpet, air temperature, and humidity. In general, carpets should be dry within 3-4 hours after cleaning. It is important to avoid walking on wet carpets as this can cause them to re-soil more quickly. Additionally, you should also turn on the HVAC system to help speed up the drying process.
Are there any tips for keeping commercial carpets clean?
Yes! There are some simple steps that can be taken to help maintain the cleanliness of your commercial carpets and keep them looking their best. It is important to vacuum regularly, preferably at least once a week. Additionally, stains should be treated as soon as possible with a cleaning solution or spot remover and blotted with a clean white cloth. You should also consider having your carpets professionally cleaned on an annual basis to ensure they are being thoroughly deep-cleaned and all dirt and debris is removed. This will help to extend the life of your carpets and maintain their appearance.
Is hot water extraction good for commercial carpets?
Yes, hot water extraction is a great option for cleaning commercial carpets. The high pressure and hot water penetrates deep below the surface of carpet fibers, while also removing debris, dirt, and other contaminants. Which helps to extend the life of the carpet. Other types of carpet cleaning methods can use detergents that can break down the carpet fibers as well as leave behind residue. For the most effective cleaning for most commercial carpets, hot water extraction is the best choice.
Does hot water extraction sanitize carpets?
Yes, hot water extraction can help sanitize carpets by removing embedded dirt and debris that can contain bacteria and other pollutants. The high pressure of the hot water helps to extract deep-down contaminants that other cleaning methods may miss.
What are the disadvantages of hot water extraction for cleaning commercial carpets?
The main disadvantage of hot water extraction is that it can take longer to clean the carpets than other methods. Additionally, the carpet may be damp after cleaning and require more time to dry before it is safe to walk on. Hot water extraction also requires special equipment and supplies, which can add additional cost to the process. However, when compared to the other methods of commercial carpet cleaning, hot water extraction is the most effective and produces longer-lasting results.
How do you make high-traffic carpets look new?
High-traffic carpets can become weathered and dull over time. To help make them look new again, it is important to vacuum regularly, treat stains as soon as possible, and have the carpets professionally cleaned on a regular basis with hot water extraction. This will help to remove dirt and debris that is embedded in the fibers of the carpet and restore the appearance. Additionally, consider adding a protective coating to the carpets to help protect them from further wear and tear.
How often should commercial carpets be replaced?
The frequency of replacement for commercial carpets will depend on several factors, such as the type and quality of the carpet, how often it is used, and how well it is maintained. Generally speaking, higher-quality carpets should last up to 10 years if they are regularly cleaned with hot water extraction and properly taken care of. Lower-quality carpets, on the other hand, may need to be replaced more frequently. It is important to inspect your carpets and determine if they are showing signs of wear or fading before deciding when it is time to replace them.
What is the best type of carpet for commercial use?
The best type of carpet for commercial use will depend on your individual needs. Nylon is the highest quality fiber carpet and offers superior performance, durability, and stain resistance. Olefin/Polypropolene carpets are also a great option if you are looking for a more budget-friendly choice. Both fibers provide good colorfastness and are solution dyed to help resist staining. Ultimately, the best choice will depend on your specific needs and budget.
Is there a way to preserve color in commercial carpets?
Yes, there are several methods you can use to help preserve the color of your commercial carpets. Vacuuming regularly and using hot water extraction for cleaning are both important steps to ensure the color lasts longer. In addition, using a protective coating or sealant on your carpets can help protect them from further fading and wear and tear. Lastly, be sure to address any spills or stains as soon as possible, as these can cause discoloration over time.
What is the difference between commercial and residential carpet?
Commercial carpet is designed to be more durable and resistant to heavy foot traffic. It is also treated with special chemicals for stain resistance, which can help it last longer and maintain its original look even in high-traffic areas. Residential carpets, on the other hand, are not as durable and may need to be replaced sooner if used in a commercial setting. Additionally, residential carpets may not have the same level of stain resistance as commercial carpets.
