Choosing a Commercial Carpet Cleaning Company in Michigan

No matter what kind of building you have, if it has carpet, keeping that carpet clean is quite important. Your staff, partners, clients, and potential customers will likely see this, and poor carpeting can reflect poorly on your business. Plus, dirty and odorous carpeting may actually cause health concerns if you have kids come into your place of business, or may cause problems for people with olfactory sensitivities who visit or work at your location.

While all of the above applies to businesses everywhere, these points are even more important in Michigan due to the variable weather and the fact that snow, mud, and plant dander will inevitably find its way into your business. Because of the amount of 'abuse' that your carpet must endure due to Michigan's dramatic seasonal changes, you need a professional carpet cleaning company to help you keep your carpeting in good condition to maintain worker satisfaction, and to present your company in a positive light to your incoming guests. Here are a couple of ways to help you narrow your choices down for a commercial cleaning service in Michigan.

Look at years in business

When a cleaning company has been in business for many years, like 10 or 15 years or more, there's a good chance that they've stayed in business for a reason. Plus, a long-term carpet cleaning company almost assuredly has cleaning carpets down to a science. Effectively cleaning a carpet isn't about running a vacuum cleaner over it, and spot removal isn't as simple as using hot, soapy water and a wash cloth to clean it up. Seasoned carpet cleaners will be able to clean your carpets effectively, and thoroughly, because they have the right tools to do the job, and they've had the years of experience to see how to best clean a carpet.

Look at range of services

Some carpet cleaning companies do just that -- they clean carpets. Other companies, such as those who offer a wider range of services, will be able to help you with a variety of your janitorial needs. Some commercial cleaning companies will actually clean your carpets, clean your in-store furnishings, tile and grout, blinds, and even your building's exterior and parking lot. If you have a small office with small needs, a simple carpet cleaning service will likely do, but if you have a larger office with a variety of janitorial needs, you should consider hiring a cleaning company to help you on a larger scale.

These two elements alone: years in business and range of services, can help you to narrow down your choices for a commercial carpet cleaning company in Michigan. Clean carpeting is more than just about appearance, though -- dirty carpeting can have health ramifications, and due to the minimal cost and high preventative value, it's certainly worth it for you to find the right cleaning company that will meet your business' carpet cleaning needs.

Thermal Energy Analysis For Home Energy Savings

Anybody who lives in Michigan can attest to the fact that Michigan winters are cold. While some winters are colder than others, every year, at some point, you are almost guaranteed weeks of sub-zero temperatures and nasty windchill temperatures to boot. It doesn't really matter how you heat your home -- a log-burning wood stove, natural gas, or electricity -- when it's cold outside, especially if you have a larger home, you have to use more resources to keep your home warm. This is where a thermal energy analysis can help you to save some money this year on your home heating bills.

Also known as infrared thermography, or thermal imaging, thermal energy analysis allows you to view unseen parts of your home -- in terms of energy savings, this type of analysis allows you to see cold and hot air 'leaks' coming into, and leaving, your house. So, if you can see where your heated air is escaping your home, or where cold air drafts are coming in heavily, you can fix those problem spots, keep your home warmer in the winter while spending less money on heating your home.
