Winter Carpet Defense For Commercial Buildings
Fall is the perfect time to do a walkthrough of your building and evaluate your carpets’ high traffic areas. Inspect around your doors and make sure that your runners are properly placed. Fall is when leaves and plant matter get tracked on to your carpet.
By placing special debris-collecting runners in the entryway of your building you can trap leaves, dirt, salt and ice melting chemicals and prevent them from being tracked into the building.
Carpet runners also help collect the wet snow and ice which melts into the mat instead of your carpet at the entryway.
The best kind of carpet runner or Industrial mats is the one that has protruding scraping fingers that remove dirt and debris. For outdoor use, choose rubber mats that have a ribbed backing so that it is slip resistant.
Mats and runners will keep your carpet cleaner in between cleanings and extend the life of your carpet.
