If you operate a restaurant, you know how important cleanliness is, as law and regulations require the establishment of strict sanitation guidelines.
It is possible for your restaurant's carpets to collect a mixed bag of dirt, germs, grime, allergens, bacteria, and other particles from multiple sources, including customers spilling drinks, food falling on the floor and the kitchen's oil spill. In fact, dirt and grime from the back of the house kitchen can also be tracked to the front carpet of the house, or to the main dining room where the customers eat.
If this layer of dirt is allowed to sit for long periods on the carpet, it can cause a musty smell to pervade throughout the restaurant. If this happens, the carpeting in the restaurant can appear dull and dirty, which can also negatively affect your customers' dining experience.
A restaurant that has a busy schedule may find it difficult to schedule carpet cleaning, however it is necessary. The cleanliness of your carpets and a pleasant dining experience will make your customers happy and refer your restaurant to others. In contrast, dirty carpets tend to result in customers leaving an unfavourable review about the dirty carpets, and also will stop coming back to your business. The worst case scenario would be that a sudden health inspector would visit since it was mentioned!

Restaurant Carpet Cleaning Services
Here at Ellis Carpet Cleaning, we make sure that your restaurant's carpet is thoroughly and effectively cleaned. We do this by following a specific process, as illustrated below.
Step #1 - Vacuuming
To begin, we vacuum and wash your restaurant's carpets. With commercial-grade vacuum, we get rid of as much dirt, soil, and dust as possible. If this step is not taken beforehand, the deep cleaning will be less effective.
Step #2 - Pre-Treatment
Afterward, we pretreat your restaurant's carpet with a professional-grade solution that assists in breaking down any external matter that may be found in your carpet on a molecular level . Using this solution, we can remove stubborn stains, spots, marks, oils, grime, etc. from the carpet fibres so we can deep clean more effectively.
Pre-treatments are applied to the carpet near the entrances and exits, near tables where drinks are spilled more often, and all other heavily soiled areas of your restaurant. Tough stains will need more time for the pre-treatment to work than lighter stains. Any oil and grease stains will also get special attention. 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
Then, our technicians will clean your restaurant carpets with an industrial-strength hot water extraction machine. Additionally, this process can be replaced by a steam cleaning process that is similar to hot water extraction. It is simply a matter of how heavily soiled the carpets are.
Step #4 - Drying
The carpet must finally be allowed to dry after being cleaned. The best time to clean the carpets in a restaurant is when the restaurant is closed to customers. If you run a 7-day-per-week operation that finishes late and starts early, you may want to do the cleaning late at night after the business closes. If you hire us, our technicians will not have any problems with this. This should permit the carpets to dry out to their optimal condition before ready to be used the next day.
Whenever possible, we will use industrial air movers to assist in the airflow and drying process, so that you are able to reopen as quickly as possible without any lingering smells or air quality issues.
Benefits of Professional Restaurant Carpet Cleaning
A professional carpet cleaning for your restaurant can offer countless benefits.
In the first place, it will eliminate bacteria from your carpets which can pose a threat to your guests' health. Besides, it's a healthier work environment for everyone. Fibers in a clean carpet are less likely to attract dirt, grime, allergens, and bacteria. Thus, there will be fewer allergy symptoms or symptoms of general illness.
Clean carpets not only enhance the customer experience, but also prevent bacteria from getting into areas that could potentially cause illnesses from contaminated food. A restaurant that causes foodborne illnesses would certainly be a disaster for food safety.
Secondly, it is beneficial to the carpet's lifespan. In other words, the longer a carpet remains soiled, dirty, grimy, the faster the carpet fibres degrade. Carpet replacement costs are high in commercial settings. Maintaining them is much better.
Finally, there's the aesthetics of the carpet. Dirty carpet makes people uncomfortable and puts them off their food when it’s not clean and welcoming. A heavily trafficked carpet must be properly maintained. Having dirty carpets can ruin the first impression that customers have of your restaurant when they walk in to it. Cleaning your carpets will enhance your customers' overall dining experience.
Professional carpet cleaning services can help solve all these problems.

At the very least, restaurants should have their carpets professionally cleaned at least once every six months. Nevertheless, there are always exceptions, such as:

It is easier for large restaurants to collect dirt, grime, dust and dirt when they turn over a lot of tables. As a result, you should clean your carpet more often.
Time of the year
