Carpet cleaning is an important part of the maintenance of any commercial facility. But for daycare facilities and schools, the stakes are even higher. Young children spend a significant amount of time playing on or near the floor. They are also more vulnerable to serious health problems such as asthma and allergies. That is why it is essential to maintain an efficient cleaning plan for your facility. Follow these steps to ensure your commercial carpet cleaning program is up to par.

Eliminate Hazards

Commercial carpet cleaning is the best way to eliminate hazards and other potential problems. According to health officials, some of the most common environmental hazards in these kinds of facilities include dust, dirt, mold and chemicals in soil. Soil can contain a number of severe pollutants such as arsenic and lead. Since children are still developing, they are much more vulnerable than adults to these types of pollutants. They also have a higher level of exposure because they spend time crawling, sitting and playing on the floor. Very young children at daycare facilities also pick up items from the ground and put things in their mouths. Because of these risks, it is important for additional care to be taken when developing a cleaning program.

Vacuuming 

Vacuuming is the central part of any maintenance program. With proper vacuuming techniques, you can significantly lengthen the life of a carpet. You can also keep it cleaner between deep cleanings. Always use a vacuum cleaner with a HEPA filter for the best possible results. Vacuuming should only be performed when children are not present in the room. In rooms with heavy traffic or where children play on the floor, vacuuming should be performed daily. In lighter traffic areas it can be performed every other day.

Cleaning Product Storage 

Another important consideration is storage of cleaning chemicals. All cleaning products should be stored in an area that cannot be accessed by children. It should be locked in a separate location. Staff should also be trained on how to properly dispose of chemicals and deal with spills.

Cleaning Frequency 

You can significantly cut exposure to pollutants and hazards by keeping the carpets clean. When performed by a professional, hot-water extraction removes virtually all contaminants in the carpet fibers. This should be performed on a regularly scheduled basis. The frequency will vary based on the local environment. In areas with high levels of dust or humidity, deep cleaning should be performed every three months. In other areas it may be acceptable to have it performed every six months.
