Cleaning Your Hotel Carpets

The classy first impression you want your hotel guests to experience is going to be negatively affected by unkempt carpeting. We have some tips to share that will help you maintain your carpet to the highest standards possible; keep in mind that your friends here at SERVPRO of Hermitage/ Donelson are ready to help at a moment’s notice if you experience an event that leaves you with hotel carpet that needs serious attention. 

Here are a few of our best practices for cleaning your hotel carpets:

Stains. There isn’t really much difference between spots and stains. All that it takes for a spot to become a stain is to neglect to remove it right when it occurs. Any spot should be immediately soaked up with an absorbent material to remove as much of the spill as possible. This should keep the spot from becoming a more unsightly stain. 

Pre-treating Carpets. Carpet cleaning chemicals can leave behind residue that will actually collect even more dirt, and only properly diluted chemicals that break down these stains and rinse clean should be used for spots. Make sure you allow your pre-spray to penetrate the spots for a while so that they can do their work. 

Daily Carpet Care. Regular cleaning, such as vacuuming every day, can vastly reduce your need for deep cleaning, especially when it is done with high-quality equipment. Supply your hotel with backpack-style vacuums that will be easier for your staff to use, and make sure you use properly dated filters; completing periodic deep carpet extraction cleaning in your hotel is essential to keep carpeting dry, which prevents mold growth, as well. Daily vacuuming removes dirt and dust quickly before it has time to get wet and become embedded in your carpeting. 

Routine Maintenance. Make sure your team knows how to clean your hotel carpets correctly, using all the established machinery and cleaning solvents as per manufacturer’s directions. The most efficient way to ensure that your carpeting lasts is to establish a routine maintenance plan that is executed by properly trained cleaners.
