Keep Your Carpet Clean to Keep Your Office Healthy
A number of studies have been done on the issue of whether carpeting is good or bad as a floor surface. Proponents note that it reduces noise levels, especially on open floor plans, and that it is aesthetically pleasing. Opponents say that it has an adverse effect on air quality and collects dust, dirt and allergens which then make people sick. You can read an interesting article on the debate here on the National Center for Biotechnology Information’s website.
I don’t think anyone can dispute that carpeting traps dirt. That’s why we all vacuum the carpeting in our houses regularly and we hire companies to come in and clean it from time to time. Dirt, dust and allergen can cause irritated eyes, headaches, sore throats, and even asthma attacks. And all of those conditions can make your employees miss time at work. The obvious solution is to keep the carpeting in your office clean by vacuuming it often and having it professionally cleaned, just like you do at home. Having a commercial grade vacuum cleaner will go a long way to accomplishing that goal.
There are four main factors to consider when choosing a vacuum:
Suction pressure or sealed pressure - Sealed pressure is needed to pick up heavier debris.
Airflow - High airflow is needed to move a greater volume of debris through the hose.
Collection capacity - the tank size.
Type of motor - A two-stage bypass motor is generally recommended for commercial use.
We offer vacuums in a variety of styles and configurations - upright (bagged or bagless), cannister, and backpack - from all the brands you know and trust, like Hoover, Sanitaire, Oreck and Shop-Vac. We also offer accessories such as bags, filters and belts.
