Step #1 – Vacuuming

Vacuuming and cleaning the carpet in your restaurant is the first step. With commercial-grade vacuums, we make sure to get the dirt, soil, and dust out of the carpet. If this step is not taken beforehand, the deep cleaning will be less effective.

Your carpet investment should be protected. Depending on your carpet’s cleanliness your property may increase or decrease in value. Keeping that value high is what you want. Clean carpets help you achieve this goal.

Step #2 – Pre-Treatment

Next, we apply a chemical solution that assists in breaking up any foreign matter in your carpet at a molecular level on the dirtiest areas of your restaurant’s carpets. This solution breaks down stubborn stains, spots, marks, oils, dirt, and grime in the carpet fibres, allowing us to perform a deeper cleaning with greater efficiency.

This pre-treatment is applied all over your carpet, especially near the entrances and exits, near tables where drinks are spilled, and other heavily soiled areas. It may take longer for a pre-treatment to work on tough stains than on lighter stains. Special attention will also be given to oil and grease stains. As soon as the pre-treatment has been left to sit for some time we are ready to move forward to the next step.

Step #3 – Cleaning

Following that, our technicians use an industrial-strength hot water extraction machine to thoroughly clean your restaurant’s carpets. This process can also be replaced by steam cleaning, which is similar to hot water extraction. It all depends on whether the carpets are heavily soiled or not.

Step #4 – Drying

Lastly, once the carpet has been cleaned, it needs to dry. It’s best to clean the carpets in a restaurant on a day that you are shut to customers. You may also want to consider doing the cleaning the night after the close of business if you have a seven-day-per-week operation that finishes late and starts early. It is no problem for our technicians to handle this task when you hire us. This allows the carpets to fully dry out before the next morning’s open.

If we deem it necessary we will use industrial air movers to help with the airflow and drying process so you can be open again as fast as possible without any lingering odours and air quality issues.

Benefits of Professional Restaurant Carpet Cleaning

Cleaning your restaurant carpets professionally has a lot of benefits.

It can remove bacteria from your carpets, which could be harmful to your dine-in guests’ health. Furthermore, it will make your workplace healthier for everyone. Carpets with clean fibres tend to attract fewer dirt, debris, allergens, and bacteria. This leads to fewer allergy symptoms and general illness.

In addition to making your restaurant look more inviting to customers, cleaning the carpets also helps prevent bacteria from getting into the areas, which could lead to contaminated food and cause people to get sick. You would be putting your food safety at risk if your restaurant caused foodborne illnesses.

In addition, it will prolong the life of carpets. It is due to the fact that the longer a carpet is left soiled, full of dirt and grime, the faster its fibres begin to break down. Carpet replacement in commercial settings is not inexpensive. Maintaining them instead is far better.

Third, the aesthetics of the carpet. It’s uncomfortable and makes people averse to eating when the carpet is dirty and unfriendly to the senses. In the case of heavily-trafficked carpets, you must ensure that they are properly cared for. The first impression that a customer gets when he or she walks into your restaurant is not good if your carpets are filthy. Clean carpets contribute significantly to the overall dining experience for your customers.

This can all be handled by a professional carpet cleaning service.
