Carpet manufacturers agree. A good carpet maintenance program is not only important for protecting commercial carpet investments — it's essential. The investment that has been made in your building's carpet is worth protecting. It is not only a financial investment, but also an investment in your professional image and healthy work environment.
Often, carpets are cleaned only once a year, with traffic lanes cleaned every six months, and spots cleaned as needed. This pattern of cleaning allows soil to accumulate in the carpet fibers, causing them to appear soiled, dull and matted. Regular carpet care can prolong carpet life and save you substantial replacement costs.
When a business decides to replace its carpet, it's usually not because the carpet has worn out. Instead the decision is made because the carpet has faded. Its stains, unraveled edges and crushed fibers make a carpet so unsightly that it has to be replaced. Replacing a carpet, however, is not an easy task and often, the process of replacement costs more than the carpet itself.
Carpet lifecycle costing shows that the cost of preventative maintenance will be offset by the amount saved in making the carpet last longer. In addition, value will be added by having the carpet look better during its life.
