Local Company Offers Way to Keep Your Office Clean And Safe
BALTIMORE -- Baltimore's Inner Harbor has been under siege from harmful bacteria for several years, and health concerns are growing among locals. According to a recent article in the Baltimore Brew, there have been more than 400 damage claims caused by backed-up sewers since 2012. Sewage has begun to spill into the Inner Harbor, and at times has flooded Baltimore basements and roadways.
Residents pick up bacteria on their shoes every day as they go about their routine. Areas with high foot traffic, such as office environments, are at risk for increased levels of bacteria. According to a study conducted at the University of Arizona, more than 90 percent of the time, bacteria on our shoes transfer to floors with a hard surface and carpets harbor even more bacteria.
As one of the nation's leading commercial building carpet and textile cleaning service providers, milliCare is thrilled to offer its community some peace of mind. "Everything that's on the bottoms of your shoes gets transferred to whatever surface you're walking on, especially during the winter when snow and slush prevail. One square yard of commercial carpeting can accumulate a pound of dirt in just a week, and up to twice as much during periods of inclement weather," said Chip Rankin, CEO of milliCare by EBC which has offices in Baltimore. "Bacteria flourish when sediment and other materials are present in the carpet. With a customized plan, milliCare can remove up to 99 percent of the germs and dirt in office carpeting, keeping it clean and spotless."
Since 1984, milliCare provides environmentally innovative textile and carpet cleaning solutions for Fortune 500 companies, government agencies, airports, hotels and other commercial buildings. The company prides itself on quality employees that care about their community. For more information, visit milliCare.com.
