Carpets and floors can take a battering in the winter months, whether your employees are dragging in dirt from dead leaves or mud from their journey to work, it will be difficult to keep your floors clean. They will most likely end up slippery and unkempt.
We’ve prepared some great suggestions to combat this and clean up any muck that does make into your workplace to help keep your carpets and floor surfaces clean.
Buy “double doormats”
A good doormat may drastically reduce the amount of muck that enters your premises. Place one mat – ideally with bristles – outside each external door and one softer, more absorbent mat inside. This will allow staff and visitors to get rid of any dirt or muck outside and then dry their shoes as they enter, keeping your carpets clean this winter.
Purchase boot-scrapers
If your employees walk to work or your facility has a mucky car park, installing boot scrapers outside will allow them to clean up any mess before entering the workplace.
Display signage
If dirt is becoming a major issue at your workplace, you may want to consider putting up some signage to remind visitors and employees to wipe their feet. A blatant remark may come across as patronising, but an image of a dirty boot with a line through it should be enough to jog people’s memories without being too obnoxious.
Carpets should be deep cleaned more frequently
During the winter months as it is typically more muddy outside, you may want to plan more regular deep cleanings of your carpet by a professional cleaning company to keep your workspace appearing more clean and professional.
Keep a mop nearby
From dripping umbrellas to unwiped shoes, keeping a mop nearby will help maintain your hard-floor surfaces risk and slip-free. This will also keep your floors looking spotless throughout winter.
