MAINTENANCE SOLUTIONS
Sustaining Beauty and Longevity
Your floor says a lot about your company - keep what it says positive! Your customers, employees, and tenants notice when the floor looks worn, and conversely they notice when it looks great, so talk to our Solutions Consultants about sustaining that beauty and durability that you need.
Maintenance Education
Maintenance is key to how your floor performs over time. The best maintenance is preventative maintenance. Without maintenance the floor is liable to fade, show damage, result in poor indoor air quality, and produce costly repairs. We can analyze your usage and traffic patterns to create maintenance plans for your chosen system.
Carpet Maintenance
Most of the soil that can damage carpet comes from three sources: tracked in dirt from the outside, dust and grease settling from the air, and various kinds of spills. Without proper maintenance, these materials combine with normal traffic to wear and tear carpeting. The good news is that most of this soil can be removed-and the life of your carpet extended—with the right equipment and simple, regular procedures. We can point you in the right direction for your needs, whether it be simple such as walk-off mats, spot cleaning and shampooing, or the tougher surface extraction or deep extraction.

Hard Floor Maintenance
The greatest damage to finished floors comes from abrasive soils that are tracked into a facility. Exterior (and sometimes interior) matting is essential for preventing this soil from entering the facility and being worn into floors. A program of regular vacuuming, sweeping, mopping, or autoscrubbing is the most important part of a floor care system. When the floors get dirtier or older the more labor intensive solutions are needed such as deep scrubbing and recoating or the full stripping and recoating.

Tile & Grout Maintenance
Grouted surfaces, such as tiled floors can be breeding grounds for mold, bacteria and odors if not properly cleaned. Without a proper maintenance program, this build-up can collect in grout lines. Grout is very porous, so in addition to general soil buildup, bacteria causing soils such as urine in restrooms, dropped foods in kitchens and body oils in showers are able to penetrate the surface and become embedded. This not only makes future cleaning and odor control more challenging, but can permanently discolor the grout and create a poor perception of clean in the facility.
Traditionally, the lighter the grout color, the more challenging it is to keep it clean. All tile and grout must be cleaned on a regular scheduled basis in order to insure that it is clean and free from bacteria. Our Soultions Consultants can give you an effective approach to proper maintenance for grouted tile floors.
