Tile and grout by its very construction is porous leaving lots of nooks and crannies for oils, sugars other staining materials and just plain soil to find a home. How can you tell if your tile and grout needs attention – well – the easiest way is to compare the grout lines at the unwalked edge with the grout lines in the traffic pattern. You are bound to see a tremendous difference. Secondly and probably more important from a liability standpoint is that heavily soiled tile can become quite slippery in the presence of even small amounts of water.

HOW DO WE CLEAN THE TILE???
Well it’s not with a tooth brush and mop. In fact mops often only move soil and oil from one area of the tile to another. Our cleaning process flushes out more soils and dirt than any other technique.

We apply a special cleaning agent to emulsify the soils and oil and hold them in suspension.
We agitate the grout lines and tiles with specially designed brushes and machines then we blast away the soil by using a “power washer in a box” connected to our 1000 psi truck mounted units. This 1000 psi spray blasts the soils from the tile and grout and the whole perimeter of the box is filled with vacuum ports to move the cleaning solution and dirt away to the tanks in our truck mounted units.

Your floors will be dry in no time!! After that we can also apply a sealer to the tiles and grouts to fill up the now clean pores - the benefit to you – with the sealer in the pores there is much less chance that soil, grease and sugars will gain a strong hold on your floor and your own regular maintenance will keep the floor cleaner and safer.

In the home – you will benefit from an annual full cleaning of your tile and grout while businesses may require it more often if they have heavy foot traffic or are in a greasy environment.

SANDLESS WOOD FLOOR REFINISHING is a perfect method to make your hardwood floors look brand new again. We will conduct a complete audit of your floor to see if it is a candidate for this process.

The ideal floor will only have surface marring of the polyurethane finish and either very little or no scratches in the wood. If the floor is to heavily scratched or gouged it may have to be sanded and refinished. If this is the case Catamount Carpet Cleaning can provide you with the name of a great professional floor refinisher.

The service we provide includes two coats of a polyurethane refinish. Additional coats can be applied. The finished is offered in either hi-gloss or a matte finish.

Preventive Maintenance gives a lasting reflection!

• Do dust mop floors frequently.
• Do clean surfaces with a neutral stone cleaner.
• Do thoroughly rinse and dry the surface after washing.
• Do blot up spills immediately.
• Do protect floor surfaces with non-slip mats or area rugs and counter top surfaces with coasters, trivets or placemats, particularly under those containing alcohol or citrus juices. Many common foods and drinks contain acids that will etch or dull the stone surface.
• Don't place hot items directly on the stone surface. Use trivets or mats under hot dishes and placemats under china, ceramics, silver or other objects that can scratch the surface.
• Don't use cleaners that contain acid such as bathroom cleaners, grout cleaners or tub & tile cleaners.
• Don't use abrasive cleaners such as dry cleansers or soft cleansers.
• Don't mix bleach and ammonia; this combination creates a toxic and lethal gas.
