Office Carpet Cleaned Across Three Rooms in Northbrook, IL

About this job

The first thing visible on arrival was the grey loop carpet in the open work area, marked with a spread of dark spotting beside one of the desks. The rest of the floor had taken the kind of even, grey-on-grey traffic soil that builds up quietly in an office until a clean patch next to it gives it away. The customer, an office in Northbrook, booked commercial carpet cleaning for three rooms totaling 4,513 square feet, including the open desk floor, a conference room and a side office off the hallway.

Furniture stayed largely in place, so the crew worked around desk legs, chair bases and partition feet, keeping hoses clear of cabling. The carpet was cleaned with truck-mounted hot water extraction, with the spotted area beside the workstation given extra attention before the general passes. Soil pulled up gradually through the open floor, and the contrast between the walked lanes and the edges along the baseboards flattened out as the work moved room to room.

Time on site was about four hours. Air movers were set up to speed drying; carpet dries in 2-4 hours with air movers, and up to 6 hours for heavy soil, so the office was able to plan around a short window before desks were back in full use. The total for the visit was $1,528.
