Carpet Cleaning Tips for Keeping Your Office Clean

It’s a new season, and that means it’s time for a change. A little cleaning and rearranging of the office furniture never hurt anyone, right? It can feel renewing, stepping into a freshly cleaned office. After all, your office is an investment, so why not treat it as such? The Steam Team can help you keep your office clean this season- just follow these few simple guidelines!

Don’t Eat Lunch at Your Desk

Don’t eat lunch at your desk! Instead, head to the break room. Besides, it can feel incredibly refreshing to step away for a little while. Eating at your desk will cause grime to build up faster; you simply can’t avoid accidents, and sometimes lunch gets messy!

Dust on the Regular

...Even if you don’t feel like it. The more frequently you dust, the easier it will be each time. You simply can’t avoid it, friends! Offices collect dust rather quickly and need to be cleaned on the regular.

Vacuum, Vacuum, Vacuum

We’ve got to get rid of those dust mites somehow! Not to mention the crumbs around your desk from you not following guideline #1. Vacuum your office thoroughly at least once a week to keep the flooring looking fantastic.

Clean the Window Blinds

Window blinds are notorious for capturing dust, dirt, and debris. What’s worse- cleaning them is an easy chore to procrastinate because it can be so inconvenient! But with a steam cleaning machine, you won’t even need to remove the blinds from where they hang. At least, not when we do it! Call The Steam Team for all your rug cleaning.

Lastly, call The Steam Team for all of your high rise cleaning needs. We have over a decade of experience cleaning office buildings, homes, apartments, retail spaces, and so many more- you can definitely rely on us to get the job done quickly and effectively!

Do You Need to Rent Drying Equipment?

Restoration Drying Equipment

Steam cleaning has become a popular, environmentally-friendly cleaning method. It uses only heat and water to thoroughly clean and sanitize a variety of surfaces, including flooring, countertops, drapery, furniture, even pet beds and mattresses.  

How does steam cleaning work?

Steam cleaning uses water heated past the boiling point to clean dirt, debris, and contaminants, including bacteria, mold, and allergens. A floor wand shoots pressurized water onto the surface which is then immediately vacuumed into a holding tank. The high temperature of the water is what cleans and sanitizes at the same time. Also, by using only water, no additional chemicals are required to achieve a thorough and effective cleaning.

Does steam cleaning require separate drying equipment?

If done right, steam cleaning does not require the additional use of drying equipment. The water is hot enough to evaporate quickly, and efficient steam-cleaning equipment vacuums up excess water as you clean. Most professional steam-cleaners have a truck-mounted system, which is the preferable choice for shorter drying times. A truck-mounted system is able to use higher pressure and hotter temperatures, and it exhausts all the air and humidity from your home, leading to faster drying times.    

Buyer—and renter—beware.

The steam cleaners that you can buy or rent yourself often do not have enough suction power to suck up the excess water during the steam cleaning process. Many of the machines for rent are much older, too. Excess water risks the development of mildew. This is particularly a concern with certain types of flooring, such as carpet, where mildew growth could occur out of sight.
