Extend the Life of Your Commercial Building Carpets

Spotless Clean and Carpet Care • May 30, 2014

Carpets can experience a lot of wear and tear, especially if they are not properly cared for. Vacuuming regularly can help reduce allergens, dirt, and debris and extend the lift of your commercial carpets. 



You may already clean your carpets regularly throughout the year, but how often? Commercial cleaning companies can perform routine carpet cleaning to help extend their life. If you do not go that route, you should clean your carpets at least once every 6 months to maintain them. Nevertheless, the carpet cleaner makes the difference. You should always use a commercial carpet cleaner if you don’t leave it to the professionals. Invisible elements can wear out your carpets and mold, mildew, and liquids can biodegrade the carpet too.

Entrance Mats

Most companies have a mat of some sort as you walk into the building, but do they have entrance mats on the outside? Most do not. However, an outside entrance mat can help extend the life of your carpet. There are several types, but the mats with brushes do the best job. They grab the dirt and debris from the sole of the shoes so that there is less tracking of them on the inside. Carpet does break down over time. This helps reduce that wear and tear.

Interior Mats

Just like the exterior entrance mats, the interior mats help reduce wear and tear on the carpet by reducing the tracking of debris, dirt, and chemicals. In many cases, they're paired with a scraper entry mat and used as a "wiper" or "finishing" mat. When people walk across the mat, it absorbs any liquids, dirt or debris they were present on their shoes. An interior mat will not only help extend the life of the carpet, but also reduce maintenance. They're also popularly used as spot, spill & soil control in high use areas (i.e. coffee service areas, vending machines, copy machines, registration areas, etc.). Interior mats are perfect for any indoor area and can provide safe footing to minimize trip & fall hazards.


They're usually made with a nylon surface, because of the high twist level of nylon fibers that allow the mat to collect more soil & spring back up after cleaning. The best interior mats have a rubber backing to hold in place on both carpet and/or hard surface flooring.

Carpet Savers

For those of you who have offices, carpet savers are a great way to protect the carpet from impressions that collect dirt, liquids, and stains. Your office equipment like desks, chairs, tables, filing cabinets, etc. can all leave impressions in the carpet. These areas are prone to degrading and wear which can expose the carpet's threads or cause it to tear


Carpet savers go underneath the legs, corners, and bottoms of items to help prevent deep impressions in the carpets. Most of them have spikes underneath that sit in the carpet without flattening it.
