Joe Bshero, director of technical services, R.E. Whittaker Company, broke down how proper carpet care can ultimately create the perception of cleanliness in facilities. This is an increasing priority as Covid-19 drags on and some buildings reopen. Here's his thoughts.
Due to the novel coronavirus pandemic, the importance of cleaning is at the forefront of facility managers’ agendas. Many organizations are completely revamping the way they approach processes like hard surface disinfection and porous surface cleaning in light of stricter guidelines and recommendations. However, cleaning programs need to also address another key area of the building: the floor. The condition of flooring, carpet included, can have a major impact on how customers feel about an organization as a whole. Facility managers must understand the vital role that carpet care plays in the new post-pandemic era of cleaning, as well as best practices for maintaining it.
