It’s that time of year again when simply walking from your car to the entrance of your office building can be treacherous. Thanks to winter’s assault of snow, ice, and cold weather, a short walk can easily seem like an agonizing journey. To minimize the frequency of accidents both on the road and on walkways, generous amounts of salt are spread. In fact, according to a report from Public Health, “The reliance on road salt for winter road maintenance has increased steadily. It is cheap and effective.”
While salt keeps us safer as we traverse our highways and sidewalks, it can also stain and destroy carpets if it’s tracked inside and not quickly and correctly removed. Fortunately, commercial business owners and managers can turn to the carpet cleaning professionals Cape Cod, DryServ Carpet Cleaning Cape cod, to lessen the damaging impact of salt on carpets.
Of course, vacuuming regularly and placing heavy-duty mats at all entrances are two wise defenses against salt damage on carpet. However, those measures often can’t prevent salt from getting ground deeply into carpet fibers, where the mineral begins tearing them down. The cleaning professionals at DryServ Carpet Cleaning Cape Cod use the following step-by-step protocol to clean and sanitize your carpets, minimizing ugly salt stains and removing the damaging particles that have become embedded in the fibers:
– Inspect all carpets to assess your needs
– Pre-treat all salt and other stains
– Apply specialized cleaning solutions to loosen dirt and salt particles
– Rinse with clean, hot water
– Treat any remaining stains
– Groom for uniform and attractive appearance
– Inspect to guarantee your satisfaction
In winter, hard-surface flooring can also be negatively impacted by salt when it’s carried in on the bottoms of shoes. Salt can strip the urethane coating off of wood and tile floor surfaces, leaving them susceptible to damage from moisture, abrasion, and dirt. In addition to top-notch carpet cleaning, DryServ Carpet Cleaning offers a number of professional services to keep all of the floors in your place of business clean and well-maintained this winter and year-round.
