Dirty carpet means dirty air, and dirty air means sick employees.
The long-range costs of an unhealthy environment can be obscured by the short-term expenses for cleaning and maintenance, but a minute's reflection easily shows that a company benefits from keeping employees healthy and safe. Take into account the costs of illness, especially chronic illnesses, and injuries—injuries that come with heavy costs for business owners, including poor productivity, absenteeism, insurance, low morale, and even lawsuits. Cleaning and maintenance are, in fact, immediately cost-effective. A clean office is a healthy office—you'll see immediate, major benefits in increased staff productivity, retention, lowered absenteeism rates and reduced insurance premium costs, as well as a more cheerful, friendly, and focused attitude all around.
RD Weis Companies was an early user of dry carpet cleaning technology. This cleaning technology addresses the environmental problems of under-cleaning commercial carpeting, and the problems of using "extraction" or hot water cleaning, including carpet damage, re-soiling, and drying difficulties.
At RD Weis Companies, we use a low-moisture dry extraction method that leaves carpet clean and dry, allowing immediate access and traffic. The dry compound, containing a patented anti-microbial preservative, is brushed in deep and adheres to dirt, germs, stains, allergens, and odor sources. Then the dirt-laden particles are vacuumed away, leaving the fibers clean, dry, and odor-free. Unlike other dry cleaners that leave solvent residues on carpet fiber to attract more soil, this is an inert, non-toxic cleanser leaving fibers residue-free.
Our dry method also eliminates drying downtime and liability for water-related slips and falls. Also, because it is a dry system, it can be applied anywhere, anytime—allowing you to schedule maintenance to fit your needs—and remember, this dry cleaning technology also works on your upholstered furniture and workstation panels.
Cleaning is not only vital for health, it is arguably the most important factor in maintaining carpet and textile—and therefore protecting your investment. Most carpet manufacturers and the CRI recommend that carpet and textiles be cleaned a minimum of every 12-18 months.
Improve your air quality, increase productivity, and protect your corporate image with professional dry cleaning for your carpets and textiles.
