Regular Office and Carpet Cleaning is A Must for A Healthier Ambiance for Employees

November 23, 2016

One of the most critical features for overall performance in an office is cleanliness. In fact, a clean and healthy environment can have a major influence on all employees. Even if a person loves their job, an employee’s health can quickly deteriorate when the ambiance fails to be clean and tidy.

Also, a clean office will help make difficult days much easier. On the other hand, if the office is dingy or cluttered, bad days seem to drag on forever. As well, overall employee performance suffers greatly.

An Employees Health May be at Risk

Regular office and carpet cleaning is a must for a healthier ambiance. Not only is it imperative for everyone’s disposition but it is important for indoor air quality. Studies show that pile carpeting can actually play a big factor in office air pollution. As well, old carpets often have excess dirt, dust mites, mold, mildew and bacteria. And when contaminants are accumulated, a regular vacuum cleaning will generally not do the trick. Actually, older carpets typically need a deep cleaning by a professional.

In addition, todays carpets are made from synthetic materials and toxic ingredients. For instance, toxins can be found in the carpet, backing, padding and glue for laying the material. In fact, many specialists claim that the substances used to lay carpets can be aggravating and harmful to the health.

Actually, the 'new carpet smell' is from 4-phenylcyclohexene (4-PC). It is known to cause nose, eye and upper respiratory problems within the first 72 hours of exposure. In the US, 4-PC is in the latex backing of 95% of carpets. And one of the current health concerns from prolonged exposure includes cancer.

Unfortunately, it is not cost effective to get rid of your carpet and replace it with a healthier option. However, commercial cleaning that uses Eco friendly products can remove toxins and built up dirt that is deep within the pile. Also, professionals typically use a high quality HEPA vacuum, which help remove toxins and dust a lot more than a regular vacuum. Plus a HEPA vacuum is highly sealed and has a filtration system that does not allow dust or toxic fumes to escape.

In addition, regular steam cleaning will ensure all bacteria and dust mites are exterminated naturally. Also, better health for your employees should include a HEPA air cleaner and purifier. The device helps eliminate harmful air particles that come from the carpet.
