Hard Surface Cleaning
Need help maintaining or bringing your hard surface flooring back to life? With proper maintenance, hard surface floors can provide you with years of service.
Great results from hard surface cleaning are based on how you treat the finish. It’s the finish that absorbs the wear and tear and thereby protects your flooring. An improper or a too strong cleaning solution can damage finishes and floors permanently. Professional hard surface cleaning companies will apply special sealants to prevent water and stain penetration when required.
There are two types of hard surface flooring: resilient and non-resilient.
Non-resilient hard surface flooring includes Slate, Ceramic and Quarry Tile. Hard surface cleaning professionals are required to clean these floors. Non-resilient hard surface floors will often require a sealer, polish and regular cleaning as part of their maintenance program.
Resilient hard surface flooring is sheet or tile flooring. Common types include: vinyl, VCT (vinyl composite tile); commercial rubber flooring and linoleum.
At Sands Commercial Flooring Maintenance Services, we apply five steps to resilient hard surface cleaning and maintenance:
- Stripping: removing all old finishes and sealers (which are coated with dirt and grime)
- Sealing: filling in pores, leveling your flooring making it detergent resistance
- Finishing: applying top coats of finish for shine and floor protection
- Polishing: spray buffing after applying top coats
- Cleaning: dust and damp mop as part of your regular hard surface cleaning maintenance.
Regardless of your hard surface cleaning requirements: stripping; sealing; finishing; polishing or cleaning, Sands Flooring Maintenance Services can help you.
