A common misconception is that frequent cleaning shortens carpet lifespan. In reality, grit and soil are the true culprits in reducing carpet life, as they grind against the pile when walked on. Therefore, the more often you clean your carpet and remove these elements, the longer it will last.

While this method has proven effective, it is notably the most expensive in terms of both labour and consumables. The increased labor costs stem from the application, agitation, and subsequent removal of the compound.

The HWE method has the highest power consumption, the highest water usage, and generates the most wastewater of the three methods. It's the noisiest, takes the longest time to dry, and is the most disruptive to the office working environment.

Considering that the carpet in a building represents a significant investment, it is important for owners and occupants to extract the most value from it. Moreover, a clean, appealing floor contributes to a healthier, happier workspace.

Factoring in at least one exit and re-entry per person—for a coffee break or lunch—we're looking at 6,000 to 20,000 dirt-laden shoes reentering the building daily.

The first line of defence in keeping the street out of your workplace is having effective entry matting. The goal is to trap as much soil, debris, and pollutants as possible right at the entrance.

You might be wondering what on earth the street is doing in your office. Surprisingly, every day we unintentionally invite the street into our workspace. It infiltrates through the HVAC system, entry doors, and most significantly, our footwear.
