Reasons to Deep Clean Your Property Before Winter Arrives

3 Reasons to Deep Clean Your Property Before Winter Arrives

By Deep Cleaning

Winter can be a brutal time for residential and commercial properties alike. Being unprepared for the season might unintentionally harm your property’s surfaces. If you have an area that requires one professional cleaning session per year, we recommend doing it before the winter season. At Professional Surface Restoration, we equip our professional cleaners with patented equipment and the latest cleaning tools to provide the community with exceptional services. We’re here to discuss three reasons to deep clean properties before winter arrives.

Kill Bacteria

As the days get shorter and winter starts seeping in, you might find yourself staying indoors more often. Before the first snow falls, make sure you get rid of all the bacteria, grime, and dust your property has collected during the open-window moments of summer. Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, deep cleaning every surface of your home is a must before winter arrives.

We offer professional, affordable, top-quality services for all home surfaces, from floors to carpets and upholstery. Our professional cleaners apply a pre-treatment solution to loosen any build-up and then use high-pressure water to penetrate the tighter surfaces. Afterward, we kill any remaining bacteria with over 200 degrees of heat and then vacuum the area.

We guarantee that our methods work against unwanted viruses.

Avoid Slip, Trip, and Fall Accidents

Slip, trip, and fall accidents can seriously injure people as they move around a property. Here are some of the common causes of such incidents:

  • Wet, oily, or moist surfaces

Protect Your Floors

Many people associate the winter season with holiday cheer, but it’s also a critical time for your floors. Here are some of the factors that may damage floors during the colder months:

  • The frigid air temperatures leave floors parched.
  • Snow-melting materials can scratch floors.
  • The salt from the snow in boots stains floors.

While you can clean your floors during the winter, a pre-winter treatment is essential to keep them in tip-top condition during the harshest weather conditions. If you hire professionals for a deep clean session, you can remove unnecessary contaminants that wear down your floor’s protective finish.

Apart from making your floor look and feel brand new, our environmentally friendly solutions will protect surfaces from damaging materials.

Prepare Your Property for the Winter Season

Besides getting your property Holidays-ready, you need to protect it from other external components. Don’t forget to invest in a professional deep clean session for your property. Doing so will help you kill bacteria, avoid falls, and prolong your floor’s life span.

How to Clean and Seal Concrete Surfaces

By Concrete Cleaning, Concrete Sealing

While concrete is considered low maintenance, it doesn’t mean you don’t need to clean and keep it in the best condition. Cleaning your driveways and patios periodically will improve not only the overall aesthetics of your home but also their longevity.

So, how do you clean and seal concrete driveways? Find out some useful tips below!

Get Rid of Debris and Oil Spots

First, remove dirt and debris with a broom. Get rid of the weeds from the cracks and apply a weed killer. For oil and grease stains, use a spill absorber, and then spray a degreaser. Let it soak for up to five minutes. Then get a brush to scrub the stains.

If there’s spilled paint on the concrete, use a paint stripper and remover, then scrub with a brush. Read the instructions carefully. You’ll likely need to soak the cleanser into the concrete for a few hours. For rust stains use a high-quality rust remover. Rust removers that contain oxalic acid remove the rust effectively.

Eliminate Mold and Mildew

In addition to taking care of the stains and rust, you’ll remove mold and mildew using water. If water alone is not enough, mix bleach and water well, spray the stained part, and let it sit for about 10 minutes. Wear a mask to avoid inhaling the bleach and gloves to protect your skin.

Fix Cracks

If you see some cracks, make sure to repair them first. Use a crack sealant and wait for about four hours. Drought or too much water can cause larger cracks and create more problems. In this case, it’s best to contact a trusted company offering quality concrete repair.

Use a Pressure Washer

Use a pressure washer to clean the whole surface thoroughly. Wear goggles and gloves, long pants, long sleeves, and closed shoes as a precautionary measure while pressure washing. Let the area dry for 24 hours first before proceeding to the next step.

Seal the Surface

Once your concrete driveway or patio is dry, you can now add a sealant to avoid future damage. Note that other concrete includes a sealer, so test it out first by sprinkling drops of water on the surface. If the water is absorbed, then you can apply the sealant.

Add a Second Coat

Concrete sealers can have a glossy, semi-glossy, or matte finish. If you want to ensure a shiny finish, you can apply a second coat two hours after the first one. Then let the sealer sit for 24 hours.

Hire a Cleaning Professional

If you want to keep your concrete driveways and patios clean, protected, and beautiful for years to come, hire cleaning and sealing experts like Professional Surface Restoration. Our certified technicians conduct a careful and thorough assessment of your concrete surfaces and use cutting-edge tools and equipment so you can be confident that your concrete floors remain spotless.
