Why Should I Hire a Commercial Floor & VCT Cleaning Company?

Vinyl composite tile (VCT) cleaning is a job best left to professional floor cleaning companies. This type of contractor can provide the floor cleaning experience, proper equipment, and reduce the time in-house maintenance personnel must spend keeping floors and equipment clean and in good repair.

Vinyl composite tile is an excellent choice for high traffic areas in commercial facilities; however, any facility manager can attest that foot traffic, shopping carts, merchandise display movement, and other objects passing over a VCT floor day after day will have a deteriorating effect on this type of flooring. Without proper maintenance, VCT floors can lose their luster and begin to show wear.

A commercial floor cleaning company that has had experience with VCT cleaning can not only help keep your floors clean, they can also help extend the life of your investment. They will understand the proper cleaning methods, what equipment to use, and will have experience in not only cleaning, but also stripping, waxing, sealing, polishing, buffing, burnishing and performing other necessary maintenance.

Here are a few of the maintenance tasks that a commercial VCT floor cleaning contractor can performed for vinyl composite tile floors:

Vinyl Composition Flooring Stripping and Refinishing
1. Sweep floor with untreated dust mop.
2. Apply stripping solution liberally to floor and allow to dwell up to 10 minutes.
 3. Agitate solution with propane or electric stripping equipment.
4. Pick up stripping solution with wet vacuum.
5. Rinse floor with clean cold water.
6. Recoat floor with 5 coats Sealer / Finish.

Scrubbing and Burnishing – This is the process of high speed polishing a vinyl composition floor to remove light scratches and scuffs on a floor, to bring back the shine. VCT floors should be burnished as often as needed to return the floor to the appearance desired. Many commercial facilities will burnish at a frequency of every day to once every 2 weeks. Frequency depends on foot traffic and daily in-store maintenance, however, before burnishing, the floor should be properly prepared by removing all loose dirt, machine scrubbing and mopping the entire surface.

Burnishing helps maintain the clean glossy appearance while enhancing durability and slip resistance. A good commercial floor cleaning company will make sure that they never burnish a dirty floor; after all, this only leads to a dirty, shiny floor!

Sticking to a regular maintenance schedule and using the right cleaning products and equipment is the best way to maintain the look of any VCT floor. Hiring a VCT floor cleaning company to protect and clean your facilities flooring is ideal in that it is easy, fast and cost-effective. Free up time, budget and personnel by using an experienced floor cleaning company that can increase your maintenance staff’s efficiency and delivery the best floor appearance using less labor and potentially lowering costs.

Should You Clean Your Own Carpets?

Some carpet cleaning companies promote scare tactics to get your business.  The truth is some small, light stains can be easily removed by the homeowner without the expense of a professional carpet cleaner.  Knowing how and when to treat your carpets is the key to fresh and clean carpeting.

Additionally, there are some simple things homeowners can do to keep their carpets clean.  For example, regular vacuuming is beneficial for keeping high traffic areas cleaner as is removing shoes and boots before walking on the carpets.  However, the bottom line is -- stains happen.  Knowing how to clean small stains and knowing some quick facts about your carpet can help protect you from the scare tactics and protect your carpet from disrepair! 

Can I use one carpet cleaning product for all types of carpet stains?
Depending on the type of stain, the type of yard used to construct your carpet and the types of stain-resistance properties in the carpet yarn will determine how a particular stain is treated.  For example, spills that come from animal products will require different stain treatment than spills from plant products.  A professional carpet cleaning company will know exactly what products and treatment steps to use on almost every known stain.

Can I use a spot remover?
Please be aware that often homeowners attempt to remove a stain themselves and the results are detrimental to their carpet.  Some cleaning agents can actually set the stain thereby hindering future efforts.  If you are unsure about the proper cleaning methods, protect your investment and have a professional carpet cleaning remove the stains for you.

I’ve had a stain on my carpet for months, can I still clean it?
Rule number one on carpet stains is to clean them immediately.  If you can clean up the spill when it is fresh, you’ve got a better chance of removing it completely.  Stains that have been around for a while may possibly be removed, but this is probably a good time to call in the professionals. 

There comes a time in the life of every carpet when vacuuming can no longer restore its clean appearance. 

There are five major indicators of the need for a deep-cleaning job:

1)     The carpet is matted and/or sticky.
2)     The carpet is no longer the same color in all areas of the room.
3)     The carpet has discolored circles around the furniture.
4)     There are significant stains on the carpet.
5)     There is an odor in the carpet.

If any of these describes the state of your carpeting, then it is time to call a professional carpet cleaner for a deep steam cleaning.

What to Expect from Your Carpet Cleaner

Having the carpet in your home professionally cleaned eliminates trapped pollutants such as pet dander and everyday dirt and dust. It can also clear out dust mite infestations or cockroach allergens.

Sure, you could do it yourself, but is it worth the hassle of renting the equipment and buying the chemicals, lugging heavy machinery -- all at the risk of ruining your carpeting? Improper chemical mixtures, mistreating stains and saturating your carpet with water are all hazards that a professional carpet cleaner can help you avoid.

Getting your home's carpets professionally cleaned can not only preserve your floor covering, but part of the joy of hiring a professional is having someone else do the dirty work!

Before the carpet cleaner arrives, there are a couple of things you should be aware of:

  • The front door will be left open so watch your kids and pets.
  • Keep pets and children away from the equipment and hoses while cleaning.
  • You can walk on the carpet before it dries. Make sure feet are clean. Wear booties if possible. Be careful: walking from the wet carpet to the tile can be slippery.
  • Carpets take approximately 6-8 hours in moist climate and 4-6 hours in dry climate.
  • The E.P.A. and Shaw Industries recommends cleaning your carpet every 6 months, more or less, depending on people in the household, children and pets and outdoor environment.
  • The cleaning solutions are bio degradable and environmentally friendly.

If you haven't already found an East Valley carpet cleaning company, here are some tips to selecting one:
  • Make sure you get them to come out and give you a free onsite estimate
  • Avoid estimates by telephone or e-mail only – No one can really tell you a price unless they see the condition of your floor or carpet.
  • There are many companies that quote a cheap price over the phone just to get in the door, once they get in the door they charge extra for pre-treatment, spot removal, furniture moving, etc. You can end up over paying and getting poor quality work.
  • Walk the carpet and floor and point out your concerns before they start the job.
  • Ask what method they use for cleaning your carpet or floor. Let them explain it to you so you know what kind of products they are using.
  • Combine apples to apples when getting multiple estimates. A professional cleaning job should include, spotting, pre-treatment, rinse/extract, fiber rake.
  • Ask for referrals

Cleaning Commercial Floors

The office buildings, restaurants, and other commercial facilities in East Valley, Arizona are furnished with many different flooring materials including: carpeting, hardwood floors, various types of stone or ceramic tile floors, and synthetic flooring such as asphalt, linoleum, vinyl, or rubber.

Unlike residential floor cleaning, which requires less equipment, and fewer cleaning supplies, commercial floor cleaning is larger scale and requires your floor cleaning company to understand and manage a wide variety of tools, supplies, and cleaning techniques to maintain your flooring in top condition. The floor machines, pads, cleaning supplies, must all be compatible with each other and with your flooring. The floor cleaning company needs to select from many different cleaning chemicals to remove different types of soiling. They also need to know how to use and apply the right floor finishes and finish protectors.

There are several steps in cleaning a commercial floor surface. Here is an overview of the cleaning process:

  1. Sweeping - It is first necessary to sweep the floor and properly dispose of all debris.
  2. Degreaser and Cleaning Chemicals - If necessary, the floor should be pre-conditioned with a degreaser for easier soil release. After the cleaning chemicals are mixed in the proper formula, the diluted cleaning solution should be applied liberally to the floor. Commercial floor cleaners will typically use a floor machine to clean and polish.
  3. Machine Scrub- The floor should be scrubbed using a commercial floor cleaning machine with the correctly color coded pad that matches the flooring type and the level of dirt. This power scrub should be used to agitate the chemicals on the floor for approximately five to ten minutes to emulsify the grease and dirt.
  4. Detailing - Hard to reach areas such as corners and floor edges should be hand detailed for best results.
  5. Rinsing - The floor should be rinsed with clean water mop and bucket. With this method, it is important to change the water often for a more thorough cleaning.

What to Do Before Your Carpet Cleaner Arrives

Having the carpet in your home professionally cleaned eliminates trapped pollutants such as pet dander and everyday dirt and dust. It can also clear out dust mite infestations or cockroach allergens.

Sure, you could do it yourself, but is it worth the hassle of renting the equipment and buying the chemicals, lugging heavy machinery -- all at the risk of ruining your carpeting? Improper chemical mixtures, mistreating stains and saturating your carpet with water are all hazards that a professional carpet cleaner can help you avoid.

Getting your home's carpets professionally cleaned can not only preserve your floor covering, but part of the joy of hiring a professional is having someone else do the dirty work!

Before the carpet cleaner arrives, just follow these few steps to help make sure you get the cleanest carpet possible:

Vacuum - While your carpet cleaner will more than likely vacuum your carpet upon arrival, taking a few extra moments to remove as much debris and dirt from the carpet fiber prior to a cleaning can help ensure your carpet cleaner is focusing on the deep down soiled in dirt.

Important to note: Some carpet cleaning services WILL NOT vacuum the carpet prior to beginning their work. Be sure to ask your carpet cleaning professional whether or not you need to vacuum prior to their arrival.

Dust - Before your carpet cleaner arrives, grab a dust cloth and give not only your furniture and knickknacks the once over, but also be sure to give the baseboards and air conditioner registers a quick dusting. This will help ensure the carpet won't be soiled quickly following a cleaning.

Remove fragile items - Speaking of knickknacks, it is a good idea to remove any fragile, sentimental, or expensive items from the room before your carpets are cleaned. Most carpet cleaning companies are careful; however, it's always better to protect your breakables than to be sorry later.

Important to note: Ask if your carpet cleaner is insured! Let's face it - accidents happen. Be sure you'll be covered if something unexpected does happen.

Clean Up - By removing smaller items from the floors like waste baskets, toys, clothing, shoes and even floor lamps help your carpet cleaner spend time cleaning - not moving your personal belongings. If you have any floor length drapes or bedspreads it is probably also a good idea to lift them up or secure them so that they are not in the way of a carpet cleaner's equipment.

Parking Space - Make sure your carpet cleaner has a place to park. If your carpet cleaner uses truck-mounted equipment, he will need to park his vehicle as close as possible to your homes entrance to run hoses for the cleaning equipment.

Stains - If you have any areas of concern, such as dark stains or high traffic areas. Be sure to point them out to your carpet cleaner to help make sure they're not missed during the cleaning process.

Maintenance and Cleaning for Vinyl Composite Tile (VCT)

One of the best ways to keep your facility clean and presentable is have a professional commercial floor cleaning company bring your vinyl composite tile (VCT) flooring back to life.

VCT floors offer a unique air cushioning that insulates against cold and improves sound absorption in almost all commercial space. VCT flooring is ideal for heavy traffic and noisy areas in commercial office buildings, industrial warehouses, retail spaces, restaurant bars, educational institutions, and even churches. With proper restoration and regular VCT flooring maintenance, you can retain a more professional look for decades.
Sweeping and mopping will help prevent your VCT floor from scratching and staining - ensuring your VCT floor a long life. These two VCT maintenance tasks are the primary activities that you must perform on regular, or even on a daily basis. How often these tasks need to be completed depend on the amount of traffic and soil your facility accumulates.

Stripping and waxing as needed is also important to VCT maintenance. Removing the existing wax finish from your floor and applying the new one requires some knowledge of flooring chemicals and equipment. Often facility managers leave this task to professional VCT floor cleaning companies.

For stripping, floor buffers are used at low speed on the vinyl to take off the existing wax. This is a labor intensive job. For areas with high wax accumulation, stripping process may need to be repeated. After the finish is removed, the floor should be rinsed to remove any residue of old wax.

Using a mop, the new VCT finish is applied in coats. The floor should be dried completely between coats, adding as many coats you wish. Depending on the shine you hope to achieve and the finish you are using, generally, 4-5 coats will give you a medium shine.

After the last coat of wax dries, your floor is ready to walk on. But, you still need a high speed buffering to restore the shine of your floor. However, avoid doing any high speed buffing or polishing for at least two days after the last coat of wax is applied.

Nothing beats a good VCT waxing and VCT buffing. This type of regular maintenance will elongate the life of commercial and industrial floor surfaces.

No matter what size your burnishing, buffing and waxing project is, you need to have an excellent relationship with a VCT floor cleaning company that has experience with vinyl composite tile (VCT). Finding a trusted contractor to assist you with your floor care for your facility is easier than you may think.

A Company That Keeps Tile and Grout Clean

Grout and tile cleaning services in East Valley, Arizona are of great importance. Besides keeping the grouting sparkling and attractive, these companies help in keeping infections at bay by getting rid of the germs. Often homeowners and commercial facility maintenance managers try to use the do-it-yourself type cleaning products. Unfortunately, the cleaning abilities of these types of products don't hold a candle to professional tile and grout cleaning.

When choosing a type of flooring, homeowners and facility managers often prefer ceramic and porcelain tile over carpeting because tiles retain less soil than carpet. However, like any hard surface floor, there are also disadvantages to installing tile over carpet.

When first laid, tiled floors and surfaces always look great, however, over time it can get grubby.

Finding a good carpet cleaner is not as easy as it might sound. There is more to it than simply opening the phone book and choosing one. So, here are some tips to finding the best residential carpet cleaning service in the East Valley Arizona area.

  3. Find a company with the best cleaning method. Research the different methods of carpet cleaning. All companies offer different methods of cleaning including: Hot water extraction, shampooing and steam cleaning. It's important to note, in our opinion, hot water, truck mounted systems provide the best cleaning.
  4. Request a quote. Ask your carpet cleaning service to send a sales representative to your premises, assess your carpets and give you a presentation on how their cleaning process works, as well as an estimate. Be sure when you request a price quote that you understand what is and what isn't included in the estimate. Find out exactly what you will be getting for your money. If a company seems is too cheap -- be sure to ask why, there may be hidden charges.
  5. Ask for references. Any carpet cleaning company who has been established for a reasonable amount of time will be able to offer you several names and numbers to contact. If you like what you hear from the references, then call the carpet cleaning company back and schedule your cleaning!

Vinyl Composite Tile (VCT) Cleaning, Polishing, and Waxing

Without the proper maintenance, hard surface floors like vinyl composite tile (VCT) tend to lose their sheen and start to show wear. VCT is also prone to collecting dirt and grime. Dry particles on the flooring can eventually dig scratches and nicks into the VCT flooring, damaging it permanently. Damage of this nature tends to detract from the overall appearance of your commercial business. Keeping your commercial flooring in pristine condition requires the proper maintenance - cleaning, polishing and waxing.

When considering hiring a commercial floor maintenance service, be sure to look for a top-rated company that utilizes the latest equipment, knows the most specialized floor techniques and works with the best commercial floor finishes and waxes in order to revitalize and protect your VCT flooring.

Your commercial flooring service will most likely use a high speed polisher or burnishing machine. This type of floor cleaning equipment is the best way to clean, polish or wax commercial VCT flooring. Additionally, the color of the pad that the floor cleaning company will depend both on the condition of the floor and the hardness of finish still on the floor.

A professional, commercial VCT floor cleaner in the East Valley, Arizona area will be able to let you know, once they see the condition of your flooring, whether the VCT needs stripping, a scrub and recoat, spray buffing or polishing.

Often when customers ask to polish a floor, what they really need is a scrub and recoat. A scrub and recoat is done by sweeping the floor; mopping on a neutral cleaner to get the floor very wet and scrubbing with a medium aggressive pad, which are usually green or blue in color. After those steps are completed, the floor is rinsed, and left to dry. The finish is applied after the VCT has completely dried. However, if polishing is all that is required, the floor should first be dust mopped using a white, beige or hog's hair pad under the machine. Any spills should also be spot mopped. Then, the flooring contractor will just go to work with the pad until the desired level of shine is achieved.

Whether you're looking for floor burnishing, floor buffing, or floor waxing for VCT, the East Valley experts at A Mug You Can Trust can help you keep your facilities flooring in top notch condition. With more than 35 years of floor cleaning experience in the Gilbert, Chandler, Mesa, Apache Junction, Queen Creek, Tempe, Scottsdale, Ahwatukee, and Phoenix, Arizona areas, A Mug You Can Trust uses state-of-the-art equipment providing exceptional results for homes, commercial and retail businesses.

Why You Should Always Use A Professional Carpet Cleaner

Hard times can cause people to try to do things on their own without consulting a professional; however, that's not always the simplest or least costly solution -- especially with carpet cleaning.

With more than 35 years of carpet cleaning experience in the Gilbert, Chandler, Mesa, Apache Junction, Queen Creek, Tempe, Scottsdale, Ahwatukee, and Phoenix, Arizona areas, A Mug You Can Trust has been called out to numerous homes to try to fix carpet cleaning mistakes homeowners have made.

The do-it-yourself types try to clean their carpets themselves and often use the wrong chemicals, vigorously rub lots of water and cleaning shampoo into the carpet and often fail to remove the water and residue leaving the carpet and pad soaked. All of these carpet cleaning mistakes can be costly. In the worst case scenario, you will need to replace your carpet. But, in the best case, you are out all the time and money you invested in doing it yourself and now you have to call a professional to get the stains out anyway. Doing it the right way the first time, by hiring a professional carpet cleaner, just makes the most common sense.

A professional carpet cleaner such as A Mug You Can Trust, will clean your carpets for a very reasonable fee and give you a guarantee on the work they do. The East Valley carpet cleaning crew will not only vacuum your carpet, but also pre-treat any heavily soiled areas. Spot treating tough stains pre-conditions the carpet to release the dirt from the fibers during the cleaning process.

Once all the furniture has either been moved or secured on protective coaster-like pads, the carpet cleaners will use their a truck mounted steam extraction equipment to clean the carpets. This type of steam cleaning is the most effective way to clean your carpet and rugs. The same equipment is used to rinse the residue away and kill mold, mildew, fungus, bacteria, dust mites and germs. Once dry, your carpets are assured to be residue and stain free.

While those looking to save a buck will be tempted to rent carpet cleaning equipment, that type of carpet cleaner does not have the power to force hot water into the carpet under high pressure and then quickly suck the water and dirt out. A Mug You Can Trusts' truck mount unit can generate a 1000 PSI spray which will leave very little residue behind which means no detergent will be left in the fibers to attract dirt. This type of high pressure and high powered vacuum action cleans deeper than other methods. You'll be extremely pleased with the results, we guarantee it.

Residential Carpet Cleaning Damage

If you've thought about cleaning the carpet in your home by yourself, you may want to take a few minutes and read this article.

Ideally, in almost all instances, your carpet should be professionally cleaned. However, to save money, sometimes people alternate between cleaning the carpet themselves and using a professional carpet cleaning service. While the do-it-yourself approaches can appear to be less expensive, they are almost never as effective as professional cleaning. Additionally, when you clean your carpet by yourself, it can involve a considerable amount of time and hard work, plus, there's always the chance of carpet cleaning damage. As we all know, replacing damage carpet can run you hundreds or even thousands of dollars.

Why You Should Leave the Carpet Cleaning to the Pros

Three of the most common ways do-it-yourselfers damage carpets are:

Over Wetting - Some homeowners feel they need to really soak their carpets to get them really clean. However, when you over wet carpet, it causes too much water to soak into the bottom of the carpet and the pad. If the backing and pad get wet, it is very difficult to dry them. This situation poses the risk of developing mold and mildew problems.

Over Shampooing - With over shampooing, a homeowner uses either way too much carpet shampoo or they fail to adequately rinse the shampoo and resulting residue from the carpet. This soapy residue can be next to impossible to remove once it dries. Additionally, it acts as a virtual dirt magnet.

Furniture Stains - When furniture comes into contact with wet carpeting it can release the dye from the stain leaving a permanent, unsightly carpet stain. Also, if the feet on your chairs or other furniture are metal, these can rust and damage the carpet as well. Taking shortcuts, many homeowners fail to remove all the furniture from the room that is having the carpet cleaned and/or don't put the furniture up on protective foam or foil backed cardboard squares to keep the furniture off the carpet until it dries completely.

Still not convinced that you should hire a professional carpet cleaner? Well, then, read on!

A professional carpet cleaner such as A Mug You Can Trust, will clean your carpets for a very reasonable fee and give you a guarantee on the work they do. This East Valley carpet cleaning company will vacuum your carpet paying special attention to the edges and corners of all rooms to be cleaned. Any heavily soiled areas will be spot treated and then the carpets will be pre-conditioned to release dirt from the fibers. Using a truck mounted steam extraction, the carpets will be cleaned, rinsed and dried leaving them residue free. Following the deep steam cleaning, we then spray on a carpet neutralizer deodorizer followed by a rake fluff of the fibers to allow fast drying.

How Pet Owners Can Keep Carpets Clean

As a pet owner, you have your work cut out for you. Not only are the tasks involved with owning a pet equivalent to a full time job, as you need to fed them, shelter them, clean them, and most importantly love them! In addition to taking care of the basic needs of the animal, you need to make sure you're taking care of your home - including your carpeting.

Having the additional foot-traffic imposed upon your carpet can wreak havoc on its overall appearance. Pets don't know to wipe their feet when they come bounding in out of the yard, muddy paws and all. They don't mean to cause such problems, they just don't know any better and they certainly can't learn to take their shoes off before walking on the carpets like their human companions can!

To keep your sanity, here are a few pointers оn keeping your carpet looking clean and fresh dеspіtе the addition to your household of those furry critters!
The first thing you ѕhоuld do іѕ to be sure to vacuum on a regular basis. For homes without pets, it's highly recommended that you vacuum your carpets at last once a week. However, whenever you add an animal into the equation, it may be necessary to increase the number of times you vacuum weekly to two or three times. Not only will this remove the pet hair from the carpet, it will help keep dirt from getting ground in to the fibers over time.

In addition to vacuuming your carpet, be sure to vacuum and upholstered furniture and tile as well. If these items aren't clean, you'll just be transferring dirt from one place to the next as the family moves within the home. You'll be amazed on how just vacuuming on a regular basic can help pet dander and hair to a minimum.
Accidents happen. If your dog or cat does have an accident, it's important to clean up the area as quickly as possible. The sooner you deal with the mess, the greater the possibility that you can remove it entirely and leave the area clean and fresh. To clean up urine, start by extracting as much of the liquid as you can with either a shop vac or a few towels. If you're using the towel, be sure to put some weight on top of the towel and allow time for the urine to be absorbed.

After you're removed the urine, you can use an over the counter stain remover or make your own mix using three parts warm water to one part white vinegar. This is an excellent home remedy to clean up pet urine. Apply it sparingly to the spot and blot using a clean, dry cloth. Remember not to saturate the carpet as this can cause further damage. Also, be sure to not to rub any stain into your carpet. After you've cleaned with the carpet cleaning solution, rinse the post with clean water and once again use either a shop vac or another clean towel to blot dry.
Baking soda can help if there is still some odor after cleaning the area. Simply sprinkle over the area, let sit for a while and then vacuum up.

Keeping your carpets clean between professional carpet cleaning is relatively easy. Be aware, as a pet owner, it's your responsibility to protect the health of your family and your pets. Regular professional carpet cleaning can kill bacteria, fungus, mold, and dust mites -- all potential hazard to your family and furry friends.
