To help you control the carpet stains, manage spills, and keep your commercial carpets looking amazing, we at American Hometown Services would like to elaborate on some and suggestions.

What Causes Commercial Carpet to Get Stains?

For starters, below are the common causes of stains and spots on commercial carpeting.
1) Not reporting spills. Few report the spilled substances on commercial carpets; this is one of the biggest contributors. Whether it stems from embarrassment, or afraid of the repercussions, or from uncaring people, when these spills linger, they absorb into the carpet, where they potentially stain. Oils, dark liquids, coffee, wines, salad dressing, and other foods and beverages can be difficult to remove it is not treated quickly.
2) Eating and drinking on carpets. Another contributor to commercial carpet spotting and staining is when visitors and staff members eat and drink on carpets. Many companies want to accommodate guests by offering refreshments and some want to encourage productivity by providing drinks and food for their employees. No matter they why, when people eat on the carpet, you run the risk of accidental spills. Where you do not want to limit this luxury, encouraging staff to respond to spills appropriately can prevent the carpet stains.
3) Messy customers & clients. Not only can the customers spill their food and drinks, but when they bring along children, especially younger kids, the fruit snacks, crackers, juice boxes, other snacks, markers, and other entertainment messes are likely to mar the carpets as well, and few clean up after themselves in this situation as well.

How Do You Deal with Commercial Carpet Spills?

Consider the following remedies to help your business manage the carpet spills more efficiently to help you avoid short term and even long-term spots and stains that can drab the presentation of your business.
1) Minimize trash can & maximize recycle bins. Waste and accidents are greatly reduced when there are fewer trash cans available according to research studies. In offices, for example, putting recycle bins at the desks, and trash cans in the common areas encouraged the staff to eat and drink in the areas where the waste baskets were convenient, cutting down on them eating and drinking over carpeted areas, thus reducing spills.
2) Offer incentive rewards. To help you combat spots and treat spills quickly, offering strong incentives or rewards for your staff can help significantly. For the department with the cleanest carpets at the end of each quarter, present them a free lunch or gift cards.
3) Professional carpet cleaning. You can’t avoid spills, spots and stains on your commercial carpets, but you can minimize them by getting your carpets cleaned professionally. With scheduled carpet cleaning you can keep your carpets looking vibrant, clean, and spotless.
