Carpet Maintenance Checklist - Commercial

The first step is to survey the building to determine the current conditions.  Use the checklist below to get started, then call us.

• Where are most spots and spills?  Can you identify them?

• Check for soil build-up at entrances - specially the right-hand door which usually gets the most use.

• Check for walk-off mats.  Are they large enough?  Are they clean?  Is the placement correct? Are they the right type?

• Check condition of parking lots and sidewalks.

• Are the elevators carpeted?  If so, is the carpet clean; is it removable?

• Check the vacuum cleaners.  In what condition are they?  Belts, bags, etc.  Are they clean?  Do they work properly?

• Check the condition of the carpet on the upper floors in a multi-storeyed building.  Is soiling excessive for the traffic and conditions?

• Make a note of the most heavily used areas in the building.  This could be the entrance, lunch room or some other densely populated area.

• Does the carpet require restoration cleaning?
