"The Service you expect, The quality you deserve"
Why is floor care necessary?
Following the recommended maintenance programs improve the appearance and protects the floor by reducing wear and abrasion which ultimately increases the service life of the flooring. It also contributes to a safe and healthy environment by minimizing potential slip and fall hazards, improving indoor air quality and improving cleanliness in the building. Walk-off mats, sweeping, mopping, polishing and buffing protect more than just the floor, they protect the building owner’s investment as well.
Polishing/Finishing the Floor
Restores shine to finished floors to keep them looking their best. Depending on the traffic and requirements of the facility, buffing or burnishing may be performed anywhere from quarterly (low traffic areas) to monthly (most common on office buildings lobbies and hallways). There are three primary reasons for polishing a floor:
1. Protection: Polish will protect the flooring from the damaging effects of abrasive wear, the embedment of soils, many stains and the leaching effect of frequent cleaning.
2. Appearance: The use of floor polish ( finish) will impart an enhanced appearance and provide a uniform gloss.
3. Ease of Maintenance: The use of polish may allow for the floor to be more easily cleaned.
Stripping the Floor
Stripping is the process of removing existing layers of all old floor finish, sealers and/or finishes from the flooring surface. A thoural cleaning and rinsing of the bare floor surface, and reapplication of several coats of new floor finish to protect the floor from damage and in result obtain an optimized appearance.
Scrubbing Click here to edit title.
Scrubbing and re-coating (also top scrub and recoat) is a general term that encompasses all of the scrubbing service procedures. Scrubbing is the process of maintenance involving removal of a top layer of floor finish, through cleaning the floor and reapplication of finish. Performance of scrub and recoat jobs extends the useful life of floor finish, saving money by reducing the frequency of more costly strip and refinish jobs. Also, scrubbing and recoating is the environmentally responsible alternative to stripping and refinishing, as it minimize the need for harmful stripping chemicals.
Tile and Grout Cleaning
Like carpet, grout is a porous material that absorbs soil and spills. High-pressure tile cleaning process suctions the dirt from your floor, reaching areas that your mop simply can’t access, including the dirt and grime that hides deep within the pores of your grout lines. Once your tile is clean, a finishing coat of tile sealer is necessary to protect your grout and create a stain-resistant surface. The tile sealer and grout sealer penetrates the grout surface to form a protective barrier against spills and permanent stains.
