Floors last longer and look better with proper cleaning and maintenance. Keep your family safe and your customers happy with Canadian Carpet Cleaning & Janitorial Services’ residential and commercial cleaning services. For most flooring, either residential or commercial, we recommend a professional clean every six to 12 months. Proper deep cleaning prolongs the life of your floors and reduces the need for complete renovations.
Why You Should Have Your Floors Professionally Cleaned
There are several essential reasons to professionally clean floors regularly:
- To remove sand or dirt, which wears down the floor’s surface.
- To remove stains and soiled areas.
- To prevent injuries such as slips, trips and falls.
- To improve sanitation, for example, kitchens, hospitals or grocery stores.
- To remove allergens, for example, day-care centres, office buildings, and in your home.
- To maintain the natural aesthetic of the floor’s material.
- To prolong the lifespan of the floor.
- To avoid costly remodels and unnecessary floor damage.
When to Get Floors Professionally Cleaned
Here are key indicators based on flooring types that it may be time to have your floors professionally cleaned.
Carpet
For commercial carpet cleaning, it is recommended that you get carpets professionally cleaned every six months if there is significant traffic or increased soiling. If this Is not the case, once a year should suffice. Residential carpet cleaning should be performed once a year. Carpet cleaning usually involves shampooing and spot treatments.
Tile and Grout
Tile and grout perform best when cleaned yearly. Yearly tile and grout cleaning dramatically extend the look and durability of the grout and tile. This is especially true in humid climates or areas with heavy usage. Grout is porous and needs specialized products to remove tough stains.
Hardwood
How hardwood flooring is cleaned will depend on the wood’s treatment or coating. Although durable, hardwood floors can scratch from grit, furniture and heavy foot traffic. Wood flooring can be professionally cleaned every six to 12 months, depending on traffic and usage. With proper professional cleaning, hardwood can last a lifetime.
Laminate
Laminate, although durable, also needs to be professionally cleaned. Scuff marks from shoes and other tricky stains need specialty products and techniques to be removed. Never clean laminate with water or steam; it can warp and buckle.
Slate, Marble or Flagstone
Due to the porous nature of these stones, they will need to be professionally cleaned and sealed. If you have recently moved into a new building or home, it is a good idea to have the stone floors professionally cleaned. It is best to leave these sensitive stones to the professionals.
Concrete
Skid marks, oil and other stains can mark concrete floors. Get your high shine back with specialized concrete cleaning. If properly sealed, concrete may not need to be cleaned yearly. However, most concrete floors in commercial or industrial spaces get heavy usage which makes yearly cleaning necessary.
In short, you should have your flooring professionally cleaned at least once per year. However, if you have a large spill, increased trips or falls, increased allergic reactions or notice staining, you should contact Canadian Carpet Cleaning & Janitorial Services to discuss professional cleaning. It is always best to err on the side of caution when safety, sanitation or family are concerned.
