Cleaning Your Tile and Vinyl Floors

All floors need cleaning and  maintenance.  You may have initially purchased tile or vinyl floors thinking they are maintenance free, but soon you discovered the truth.

The best way to remove dry soil from your floors…

One of your best investments may be a vacuum for your hard floors.  Sweeping can scratch the floor surface.  Plus, a broom never removes all the embedded dry soil.  A good hard floor vacuum will efficiently remove more soil.

Use this trick for more effective mopping…

The biggest problem that contributes to an ugly floor is residue build-up.  Remember to NOT overuse detergents on your floor.  In fact, it may be best to use plain water with NO detergent every third time you clean your floor.  It’s likely the floor already has enough detergent residues from the last cleaning.  Adding more detergent will cause the floor to attract soil.

NEVER use bleach.  Avoid using vinegar or acidic cleaners.  Vinegar and other acids degrade grout sealers.  And for natural stone, vinegar will etch and ugly out the shiny appearance.  Only use cleaners specifically made for tile or vinyl.

How often should you get professional maintenance?

Tile, stone, and vinyl floors require regular professional cleaning.  To help it stay beautiful, consider professional cleaning every 1-2 years.  To keep tile looking its best, have the grout sealed every 2-3 years.

Clean Carpets for Allergy Relief

Regular cleaning of your carpet and  upholstery is necessary to maintain a healthy environment in the home.

Cleaning will remove dust mites  -   one of the most common causes for asthma, eczema and allergic nasal mucous membrane inflammations.

Dust mite excrement can  also trigger other serious health problems such as  rashes,  itchy skin or eyes, bronchitis, and chronic dermatitis. This trigger is a microscopic protein found in the excrement of the mite. These microscopic creatures feed mainly on  human skin scales, fungi and bacteria and thrive in their millions in the warmth and humidity of carpets, mattresses, bedding, upholstery and furnishings of even the most scrupulously clean homes.  They are too small to be seen with the naked eye, but they are dangerous and need to be removed by regular cleaning and anti-allergen treatment.

The  mite lives for approximately 4 months producing about 200 times its own body weight in excrement and laying approximately 300 eggs, producing a concentration of allergens in areas you most frequent.
