Unless you live under a rock, then it is pretty safe to say that the average person on the PLANET is affected in some way shape or form, by janitorial cleaning services and professionals. Chances are you've encountered them either directly or in directly on a daily basis. How is that so? Virtually every commercial property you enter is cleaned by a janitor of some sort. Be it a doctors office, department store, warehouse type store, grocery store, school and the like. 

That being said it is very clear that not only are these cleaning professionals involved with our daily lives, but they're/we're critical to our everyday lives and most of us don't even know it. Going even further than that, I believe that it is safe to say that janitors are the first step of any good experience in essentially any building we enter at any given time.

When someone is looking to hire a professional residential or commercial carpet cleaning company, what are they looking for?

The obvious expected to be cleaned are bathrooms, break rooms or kitchens, dusting, mopping, vacuuming, and garbage removal. All of those are necessary duties needing to be performed during a cleaning appointment.

But how much thought is given to the professional cleaning of upholstery, carpets, and rugs?

Unless there are noticeable stains, spills, or spots on textiles and fabrics, such as carpet and furniture, it is sometimes overlooked, but an incredibly important key component to obtaining a proper, thorough, and deep cleaning to homes and places of business.

Microbes, oil, food particles, and dander become embedded into fibers and below the surface, unseen. These can cause many health issues. A professional carpet and upholstery cleaning company will be able to extract these particles and substances, leaving it deeply cleaned, helping in creating and maintaining a healthier living or work space. 

Also, by adopting a routine cleaning schedule, you will be prolonging the life of the fabric, keeping it cleaned and maintained, extending the life of the carpet and furniture, saving money in the long run. 

A professional carpet and upholstery cleaning company at IJCSA has been trained to know exactly what type of products are safe yet effective to use on various materials, and have the proper tools to get the job done.

There are a plethora of reasons why having your carpets and upholstery professionally cleaned is incredibly important. It is sometimes overlooked unless there are noticeable spills or stains, but there are many benefits that adopting a routine carpet and upholstery cleaning schedule can provide, at a residence, or a place of business. 

One reason to have carpets and upholstery professionally cleaned is that, even though there may be no obvious spots or stains, fabric can hold hidden dirt, dust, microbes, and dander, both from people and pets. We walk on our carpets, transferring anything from our shoes or feet onto it. We sit on upholstered chairs at our desks at work to eat lunch. We sit on our sofas and watch TV while snacking. Our kids and pets play outside, then lay on the carpeted floors and play. These are all fine and part of everyday life. But it just goes to show how important it is that these materials be cleaned on a regular basis, for the health and safety of ourselves, our families, our employees, and our clients.  

From the perspective of a mother, and of a small business owner who provides residential and commercial cleaning service, I realize the incredible importance of maintaining the health and safety of the places we live and work. By offering professional upholstery and carpet cleaning services to clients, I will be giving them the opportunity for a full-spectrum and more thorough and deep cleaning. Cleaning and sanitizing obvious hard surfaces, such as kitchen counters, bathtubs, and tiled floors is just one part. By offering professional carpet and upholstery cleaning, I will be offering them a deeply, thoroughly cleaned home and business space, helping them to keep their families and employees healthier, and happier. 

Another wonderful reason to maintain an upholstery and carpet cleaning routine is that doing so helps to prolong the fabric, and extends the life of the rugs, carpets, and furniture. Soil attracts soil, so having this professionally every 6 months will help to prolong the life of carpets and furniture, saving money in the long run.

It's an all-around wise decision, whether residential or commercial.

Healthcare facilities require a higher standard level of cleaning than regular homes and offices as medical facilities have a higher concentration of germs and viruses, as well as risks of exposure to bloodborne pathogens.

While the risks are higher in healthcare settings, homes and offices still contain the same risks. People come home and go to work sick, they bleed, and everything else that's found in medical settings. Therefore, it is best for cleaning professionals to use similar medical cleaning training and practices for cleaning non-medical areas. The same precautions and methods protect cleaners, workers, and residents.

Harmful bacteria, germs, and viruses are present all around us. We all must take care of ourselves by being informed and making wise choices to minimize our exposure and chances of getting sick or a disease. It's also imperative to use a certified cleaning company that understands and addresses these risks with proper cleaning technique, like WestStar Building Services here
