Carpet Stains

USA Floor Care — Sun, 08 Jan 2012 17:48:20 +0000

If you spill something in your carpet or upholstery that may cause a stain, do not use all those store bought stain removers unless it is made specifically for the type of stain you are trying to remove. Using these products can set the stain into the fibers and it will be permanent. If you spill something, just use a dry white towel to remove the excess moisture and then wipe with a clean wet rag, then dry it again. Call a professional to use the right products on your carpet or upholstery.

Mexican saltillo tile and terracotta floors in the home or business.

Mexican tile

Mexican tile and terracotta should be taken care of properly even before they are installed. Each tile should be sealed one by one before installing to ensure that the grout and thinset will easily clean from the tile. Otherwise, they will stain from the products getting into these porous tiles. At least 3 coats of an oil based sealer should be used after install or 5 coats of a water based sealer to ensure good protection for a longer period. Maintenance should not be overlooked as these tiles will ware and damage. Have them cleaned and re- sealed on an annual basis to keep these floors looking new.

To Crystallize or not to crystallize, that is the question?

USA Floor Care — Mon, 13 Jun 2011 20:37:29 +0000

There has been much controversy about crystallization over many years. The fact is, if a company is using crystallization to refinish a floor, it is not proper. Crystallization is a final step after refinishing or for routine maintenance of marble, travertine or terrazzo floors. It seals, hardens, brings out the shine and protects the stone surface by placing a clear layer on the surface of the stone.

Marble cleaning, travertine cleaning, saturnia and limestone cleaning.

When you installed or purchased your property with high investment marble, travertine, saturnia or limestone, you took on a maintenance necessary floor. To help preserve the beauty of your floor in between the required professional maintenance services, you should clean your floor with a neutral floor cleaner or plain old liquid green palmolive dish detergent. They are mild and non aggressive on the floor. Do not use things such as vinegar, fabuloso, pinesol, bleach, etc..

To put liquid sealer or finish on stone floors???

USA Floor Care — Sat, 04 Jun 2011 22:02:29 +0000

It may seem like a good idea at the time to put a liquid type sealer/finish on your travertine, marble or limestone floor in order to give it a shine. This is one of the worst things you can do to a stone floor and when you realize how bad it becomes and looks in the future, removing the product from the floor in order to polish it properly will be a very labor intensive and costly process. Do it right the first time and avoid an expensive mistake.

Saving money or not on your floors??

USA Floor Care — Fri, 03 Jun 2011 13:57:23 +0000

Trying to do your floor on your own is understandable to save money. Even hiring a contractor to strip a stone floor that has a cheaper price, but uses acid to do the work. It is part of my business unfortunately to try to fix these kinds of mistakes. It will usually cost you more money in the long run. If you do not know what you are doing, do not attempt it.
Common sense would tell you acid is not good or safe to use on stone floors, so stay away from the cheaper contractor who will damage your floor. Sometimes it just cannot be fixed and you will have to live with the result. Take care of your floor from the start the right way and they will continue to look beautiful for the life of your home or business. For more info visit our website.
