Green Carpet Care

Keep your carpets green, no matter the color, by using these green-cleaning tips

By Stephen Ashkin

Traditional extractors use an excessive amount of water, especially when compared to newer low-flow models, which can use less than one gallon of water per minute.

Building managers, working with their custodial crews, are transferring to environmentally preferable cleaning systems and products in record numbers. What started as a trickle just a few years ago is now beyond a trend. For many building managers in many industries, having their facilities “green-cleaned” is a given.

However, the situation gets a bit more complicated when it comes to tasks such as carpet cleaning. Maintaining carpets can require frequent cleaning, sometimes using very powerful cleaning chemicals, making “green” a challenge. The following are some key steps building owners and managers can take to reduce carpet cleaning’s impact on the environment:

Prioritize carpet cleaning. Many facilities schedule carpet cleaning throughout the year, with certain areas cleaned on a set schedule. This may work in some parts of a building as long as those carpeted areas do need to be cleaned. But what often happens is the executive areas of facilities, where carpets tend to stay relatively unsoiled, get more than their fair share of attention. Carpet cleaning should be prioritized: clean those areas that get more soiled more frequently and the less soiled areas less frequently.

Vacuum frequently. It is estimated that 80 percent of the soils in carpets are dry, such as dust and grit. An effective vacuum cleaner, employing a HEPA or similar filtration system, can remove these soils from carpets, which prevents them from further soiling the floor covering. In addition, a high filtration system protects indoor air quality.

Employ interim carpet cleaning methods. Although the extraction method is the most thorough carpet cleaning procedure, it uses a lot of water. Older extractors may use as much as two gallons of water per minute, as well as large amounts of chemicals. Often a shampoo, bonnet, or dry carpet cleaning method can be used on an interim basis. These processes use far less water, energy, and chemicals, which reduces cleaning’s impact on the environment.

Workplace Sanitation Process

Seasonal flu in the workplace can have a significant impact on your environment for any size company. Absenteeism, worker productivity reduction and increased healthcare costs all impact the bottom line and employee moral. This year, the pandemic H1N1 flu strain may circulate with traditional seasonal flu viruses – potentially doubling the impact of the flu season.

As a new strain of influenza sweeps the nation; people, media and the occupied environment are looking for ways to protect themselves and find solutions to the pandemic.  The Floor Care Company, Ltd.  has trained to become a frist level of defense provider with Vital Oxice.

Work Place Sanitation Process – FAQs

How long does it take?
A full treatment of a predetermined area can be completed in one evening and reoccupied by the following morning with no disruption.

What is the process?
The process is three-fold.

1. We audit the area to be treated, identify size, scope, and primary touch points.
2. We wipe down and disinfect the target areas in the facility using our EPA certified cleaner, sanitizer and deodorizer.
3. We treat the entire space using an electrostatic sprayer to coat and sanitize all surfaces.

What is a Primary touch Point?
Primary touch points are considered desk tops, stairway handrails, elevator buttons, light switches, buttons,telephones, keyboards, restroom, chair rails, task chairs and guest seating, dispensers and door handles
