Following on from a successful survey of hard flooring in a customers property in August, our team of 6 technicians returned yesterday to carry out the deep clean. The customer had stone tiles in a variety of areas in both the main property & adjoining annexe. All the floors were in reasonably good condition, apart from some areas of high traffic where the grout has become grubby.
The cleaning method for flooring of this type starts with preparing the floor by manually sweeping & vacuuming to pick up as much surface debris as possible. Then we apply an environmentally friendly stone cleaning solution to the tiles & use the rotary machine to agitate the floor. This gently cleans the floor whilst applying some pressure to any stubborn staining.
A wet vac is then used to pick up the resulting slurry. This part of the process is often repeated to ensure the maximum amount of soiling is removed. Once this has been completed, it is time for our technicians to get on their hands & knees and manually clean the grout using a grout brush.
Once the tiles & grout have been cleaned, the floor needs to dry before we can apply any seal. We will often suggest applying a seal to floors like this as not only will it bring the floor back to a good standard & brighten the grout lines, it will also protect the stone from both water & oil based stains all whilst keeping the natural looking finish. On this occasion, our technicians applied two coats of Ecoprotec impregnating seal.
As you can see in the images below, the floors look so much cleaner & brighter, a job well done!
