Despite what business sector you work in, with employees eating in the office and making numerous cups of tea and coffee, office carpet spills are inevitable. The question is, how do you deal with those annoying office carpet spills?

How do I clean my office carpet spills?
These accidents can happen at any time to everyone, perhaps someone overfilled their coffee cup or slopped their soup on the floor. As professional cleaners, we deal with commercial carpet cleaning in offices, week in, week out, however the chances of us being there when these spillages actually happen are rather unlikely. Whatever the spillage we have put together some tips on what you can do to deal with it yourself whilst minimising any long-term damage being made to your carpets!

What do I need to clean my office carpet?
First things first, don’t panic! If the spillage is a drink, grab an absorbent kitchen towel or other material to soak up as much of the liquid as possible. If it’s food, carefully remove the substance from the carpet and again use an absorbent kitchen towel to soak up as much as possible of the sauces or oils etc left behind.

Once you have got out as much of the liquid as possible it’s time to start working on the remaining residue. Please note if using any supermarket brands for this, quite often they contain bleach and other strong cleaning substances that can damage your carpet further. Always be sure to read the ingredients before using on your carpets targeted areas.

An alternative option to the supermarket brands is to use our Ideal Cleaning Professional Spotter. With a white cotton cloth, soak some of the spotter into part of it then apply to the spillage working from the outside of the spill inwards. It is important that you do not rub the carpet as this can cause damage to the surface, instead you need to simply blot the spill until you reach the centre. Although this is a longer process, you will receive much better results.

Are you fed up of the dirt gathering on the carpet in your office? Do you have messy colleagues that always spill their tea? Or worst of them all, do you have the cookie monsters leaving crumbs under their desks?! Consider hiring a professional carpet cleaner.

What exactly do professional carpet cleaners do?
Professional carpet cleaners have the confidence and ability to restore the appearance of your carpet in just a few hours. Their highly skilled technicians carry out appropriate risk assessments that determine what cleaning methods and equipment are best suited to your office carpet.

You’re probably familiar with using a steam cleaner when cleaning carpets, however did you know that these cause more damage than good as they use gallons of water causing damage resulting in a distorted, mouldy, smelly carpet?! Professional commercial carpet cleaners follow an efficient process that prevents this from happening.

With cleaning solutions for all types of carpet, from high quality stain removing formulas to dirt loosening solutions, the stains that you can’t always remove yourself will be vanished, all bacterial will be eliminated and your carpet will be left fully sanitised.

Are there any other benefits?

• Having a fully sanitised carpet means no unpleasant odours are left lingering behind
• A clean, hygienic working environment can help create a positive atmosphere amongst employees, with studies showing that employees concentration levels and productivity are in fact boosted when working in a clean, bright office.
• The condition of your carpet will be restored, prolonging its life and giving it a ‘like new’ appearance.
• Don’t leave an eyesore for your visitors and the other occupants in the building, instead create a good impression and boost your business’s reputation
