The Real Cost of In-House Carpet Cleaning

We understand the cost-saving measures of having your staff do all routine carpet cleaning in house. But are you really saving money?

Summit compared monthly program customer spending with businesses using onsite staff for facility carpet cleaning. On average, corporations may spend $12,000-$18,000 per year maintaining carpets in house through equipment, maintenance, chemicals, labor, and annual professional cleaning.

Customers on a Summit Clean preventative maintenance program often spend around $6,000-$8,000 per year while cleaning carpets at recommended intervals and saving time, money, and energy.

Why use Summit for carpet maintenance?

  • Customized preventative maintenance programs that prolong floor life and improve appearance.
  • Pre-planned costs spread over the year.
  • Expert spot and stain treatment included in customer programs.
  • Priority scheduling, including after-hours cleaning.
  • Professionally trained and certified textile cleaning technicians.

In the end, we believe you get better results from letting Summit take care of your carpets, with peace of mind that your facility’s appearance will be at its best.

Example: Senior Living Monthly Program

  • Alternating monthly professional cleaning of first and second floor carpets.
  • Spot treatments and deodorizing.
