Floor mats placed in high traffic areas protect carpets and floors from everyday wear and tear and control the amount of dirt and moisture tracked into a building. But if those mats aren't given a professional cleaning on a consistent schedule, they become the equivalent of an overflowing dustpan - practically useless!

The Facts about Dirt

Research has turned up some interesting facts on the troublesome problem of dust and dirt. Consider the following:

One square yard of commercial carpeting can accumulate one pound of dirt a week and up to two pounds of dirt a week during wet weather.
Dirt and dust cause 90% of computer failures.
Over 30% of worker injuries are slip related.
Dust is a major source of indoor air pollution.
91% of shoppers select a store to shop in because of its appearance.
It is estimated that 90% of building maintenance cost is labour and 39% of all custodial time is devoted to floor care and maintenance.

Clearly, dust and dirt are major problems and yet the cost and effort of removing dirt from your premises can be costly. For instance:
