Commercial Carpet Cleaning

With high-traffic areas, durable synthetic fibers, and constant exposure to spills, grease, tar, gum, and more, commercial carpets present unique challenges. These challenges demand specialized training, the right equipment, and a cleaning method designed for results—not damage.

At Knight’s Floor Care Inc., we understand how to navigate these complexities with a smarter, safer, and more sustainable approach.

Why Commercial Carpet Cleaning is So Demanding

Most commercial carpets are made from tough synthetic blends—like olefin—which are durable but notoriously difficult to clean. Combine that with heavy foot traffic, constant wear, and exposure to everything from coffee to tar, and the result is a surface that can quickly look worn and stained without proper maintenance.

And here's the truth: If the wrong equipment or cleaning solution is used, small issues can quickly become permanent damage.

Through years of hands-on experience, we’ve developed a Sustainability Plan, also known as our Appearance Management Program, that delays the need for expensive restorative cleanings—sometimes by years. Regular, strategic maintenance preserves appearance, reduces wear, and extends carpet life.

Our Primary Method: Low-Moisture, Eco-Friendly Carpet Cleaning

At Knight’s Floor Care, we’ve chosen to make environmentally responsible low-moisture cleaning our standard for commercial spaces. Why?

• Cleaner
• Faster
• Safer for your environment
• More cost-effective over timeuse it’s:

What Makes Our Green Carpet Cleaning System Different?

Minimal Water Usage

We use just 3 gallons of water per 1,000 sq. ft.—compared to the 50–80 gallons used by traditional steam cleaning or Hot Water Extraction (HWE). That’s better for the planet and your carpet.

Faster Dry Times

Our low-moisture system dries in less than an hour, reducing downtime for your business and completely avoiding the microbial growth (mold, mildew) associated with slow-drying methods.

No Residue, No Wicking

Traditional steam cleaning can leave behind soapy residue, which attracts dirt and causes recurring stains (a phenomenon called “wicking”). Our system prevents this, ensuring carpets stay cleaner for longer.

State-of-the-Art Equipment

We use advanced European commercial shampoo machines, far superior to both truck-mounted and portable HWE systems. These units allow us to clean up to 12,000 square feet of hallway carpet per hour—3 to 5 times faster than traditional methods.

Safe, Powerful Cleaning Solutions Designed for Commercial Carpet

Our proprietary cleaning solution is:

• Deep-penetrating and fast-acting
• Rinse-free, eliminating residue
• Safe for most synthetic and natural fibers, including wool
• Infused with fluoro-protectors for long-lasting soil resistance
• Naturally fresh, thanks to Australian Tea Tree Oil, known for its antimicrobial and deodorizing properties

Plus, the only component that requires listing on an MSDS sheet is isopropyl alcohol, which evaporates almost immediately—making this a truly green carpet cleaning system.

Low-Moisture Cleaning = Lower Costs & Lower Carbon Footprint

In addition to being safer and more effective, our low-moisture commercial carpet cleaning method produces just 1/20th the carbon footprint of traditional hot water extraction. That means you get cleaner carpets with:

• Reduced environmental impact
• No contaminated wastewater left on-site
• Better air quality for your employees and guests

The Bottom Line: Say NO to Steam Cleaning

Traditional Hot Water Extraction (HWE)—also known as steam cleaning—may sound effective, but in a commercial setting, it often causes more harm than good:

• Leaves sticky residues behind
• Increases re-soiling and cleaning frequency
• Leads to poor air quality and employee complaints
• Raises long-term costs for cleaning and carpet replacement
