Tile & Grout Cleaning

Tile & Grout Cleaning

Tile floors are known for their durability, easy maintenance and cost effectiveness.

They have been gaining popularity as an alternative to carpet flooring and have also become a popular choice for kitchen and bathroom countertops. Just like carpet, tile flooring and countertops need professional attention in order to optimize the look and life of your ceramic tile. When it comes to maintaining your ceramic tile, rely on our certified expert technicians to keep your ceramic tile clean and sparkling.

We use the latest equipment, known as rotary jet extraction, along with state-of-the-art technology to clean tile and grout. This process cleans tile and grout more efficiently, more effectively and more thoroughly than any other method to date.

Floor Care Solutions is experienced in rotary jet extraction cleaning, which can be described as specialized pressure cleaning with a powerful vacuum. Your tile and grout is steam cleaned at 1100psi while the water is extracted continuously.

This method penetrates deeply into the pores of the grout where it emulsifies and suspends the soils. These soils are continuously extracted during the cleaning, leaving your tile and grout sparkling.

When done by experienced technicians, rotary jet extraction cleaning prepares the grout for sealing much more effectively than any other method. Grout that is prepped in this manner allows sealers to penetrate more thoroughly, which make them last longer. The grout sealing process can extend the life of your ceramic tile and maintain its luster longer than traditional cleaning methods. Tile and grout should be cleaned and sealed every 12 to 18 months.

We provide these cleaning services throughout Casey Key, Siesta Key, Bird Key, Lido Key, St. Armands, Longboat Key, Palmer Ranch, Lakewood Ranch, University Park, and the surrounding communities of Sarasota, Bradenton and Venice.

Clean First for Health

The EPA, along with the Research Triangle Institute, tested the effects of carpet cleaning upon the indoor air quality. Results emphatically concluded that carpet cleaning made the indoor environment healthier, reduced gas phase organics, and reduced both biological contamination and microscopic particles.

In fact, properly maintained carpet can provide higher quality air than hard surface floors, which have no way to "trap" dust, bacteria, or pollutants. Instead, air movement from fans, air conditioners, or even people walking, cause these contaminates to continue to recirculate in our breathing zones over tile or other hard surfaces.

What this means for you, your employees and your customers is simple. Regular cleaning of your carpets by an experienced and properly trained professional does more than improve the appearance of the carpet; it makes your indoor air quality safer and healthier. Remember, the Carpet and Rug Institute, the EPA, and the IICRC Carpet Cleaning Standards S100 all state that carpeting should always be cleaned first for health, and then for appearance.

Indoor Air Pollution and Personal Injury

Three different categories of injury can arise from indoor air pollution. While these can include Building Related Illness and the most recently categorized Multiple Chemical Sensitivity, the most well-known and documented diagnosis is probably Sick Building Syndrome.

The most important fact to note with respect to any of these personal injuries is that Worker Compensation claims related to poor indoor air quality are on the rise.

But now you have the knowledge to improve the quality of the indoor air in your building. Just remember those results from the Environmental Protection Agency: Carpet cleaning made the indoor environment a healthier place, reduced biological contamination, reduced gas phase organics, and reduced the microscopic particles we would otherwise breathe.
