Business Deep Cleaning: Not Just Important During COVID-19

By COVID-19, Deep Cleaning

The current COVID-19 pandemic highlighted the importance of maintaining a safe and healthy work environment. In response to recommendations from the CDC, many commercial business owners added professional “deep cleaning” to their regular maintenance schedules to keep employees and customers safe and healthy.

There are a number of reasons business owners should prioritize a commercial “deep cleaning” program beyond the pandemic to benefit staff, customers, and the bottom-line.

The Importance of Deep Cleaning Your Commercial Business During COVID 19

The World Health Organization and the CDC emphasized the benefits of a deep cleaning regimen to reduce the spread of the COVID-19 virus. This is especially important to commercial businesses where employees interact with customers and vendors.

Deep cleaning your building reduces exposure to pathogens that collect on surfaces, including natural stone, upholstery, fabric, carpet, and HVAC systems.

There are three components to business deep cleaning:

  • Clean dirt and debris to maximize surface area exposure to sanitizers.
  • Apply a disinfectant to kill a range of microorganisms such as viruses, fungus, and mold.
  • Apply a sanitizer, reducing 99% of bacteria on surfaces.

Cleaning Your Commercial Business Should Be the “New Normal”

The health protocols established during this pandemic will likely become standard expectations from customers and employees.

As an owner, the best thing you can do for your employees is to maintain a healthy work environment. This means making “deep cleaning” a part of your standard operating procedures.

A cleaner environment means healthier, happier, and more productive employees. Studies by the EPA show that indoor air quality is one of the greatest contributors to a healthy workplace.

As businesses resume normal operations and consumers venture back out, the top priority will be keeping your staff and clientele as safe as possible. Customers have more confidence going into businesses that they feel are prioritizing their health. A clean building is a testament to your understanding of their concerns. Your brand will benefit as potential customers associate it with a dedication to the health and safety of staff and consumers.

Regular deep cleaning of your commercial business will improve the workplace feel, and the confidence of your customers long after the pandemic. By hiring a professional commercial cleaning service, you can be confident in a thorough cleaning using the proper tools and industrial strength products.

If your business is ready to prioritize the health of its staff and its customers, contact us today to see how a deep cleaning program can improve your bottom line.

Reasons a Professional Cleaning Service Is the Best Way to Get Tough Stains Out of Tile and Grout

By Commercial Floors, Tile and Grout

If your home or business is like the vast majority in the country, you likely have at least one area of tile—perhaps in a kitchen, bathroom, entryway, or even throughout your home. There’s a good reason too; tile is exceptionally durable, adds beauty to your home or business, and can be relatively simple to spot clean. However, over time, tile floors can be tricky to keep looking fresh—especially within grout lines.

Why Is Tile So Difficult to Clean Properly?

While it’s easy to wipe up the occasional spill, tile and grout are more susceptible than you might think to tough, long-lasting stains that are difficult to remove. Textured tile can accumulate surface dirt and grime, causing them to appear dull and potentially discoloring the tile’s whole surface. This layer of dirt is often challenging to remove with household mops, even with the most effective tile floor cleaning products from your big box store.

RELATED ARTICLE: The Importance of Commercial Carpet Cleaning During COVID-19 and Beyond

Also, most tiles are made of natural stone or ceramic, while grout usually consists of cement and sand. Both the tiles themselves and the grout between them are highly porous. They can absorb spills, causing lingering stains that can affect the appearance of your flooring—dirty mop water, and even the very chemicals you use to clean your tile can lead to further discoloration of both tile and grout. Worse yet, porous tile and grout can harbor bacteria, viruses, mold, and mildew if not cleaned properly.

Professional Tile and Grout Cleaning Can Help

Using a top-quality tile cleaner or a mop and bucket is effective short-term, but in the long run, you could be damaging your tile. If you’re using harsh chemicals, abrasive scrub brushes, or mop water to clean your tile floor, consider these benefits of a professional tile and grout cleaning service:

  • Professional Equipment. A professional cleaning service has the tools and professional cleaners necessary to cut through surface grime and remove stains. You can address stubborn stains and remove years of discoloration in one fell swoop.

RELATED ARTICLE: How to Choose a Tile & Grout Cleaning Professional

  • Deep Cleaning. Unlike traditional mop and bucket cleaning, professional cleaning services can use commercial-grade solvents to ensure deep stains and contaminants like bacteria, viruses, mold, and mildew don’t linger within pores or grout lines. You’ll ensure the overall beauty of your tile while addressing the health and safety of you, your family, or your employees.
  • Damage-Free. Years of grime can cause surface etching as people walk on your tile; meanwhile, the chemicals you use to clean them could be causing additional damage as well. A deep, professional clean removes surface grime safely, without damaging your tile.

If you’re in search of professional tile and grout cleaning in Toledo or the surrounding areas, consider the experts at Professional Surface Restoration. We’ll provide professional, deep cleaning of all your tiled areas using professional grade cleaners, tools, and procedures—you’ll prevent damaging buildup and restore your tile to its former beauty while keeping your home or business safe.

The importance of Commercial Carpet Cleaning During COVID-19 and Beyond

By Carpet Cleaning, Commercial Cleaning Services

Carpet cleaning is an often overlooked yet significant part of maintaining a commercial building. As you adjust your business practices due to the COVID-19 crisis, it’s important to consider your current carpet cleaning schedule along with the other deep-cleaning protocols you’re implementing due to the pandemic. You may want to overhaul your existing cleaning policy once the lockdown ends, and commercial cleaning services are essential for the health, safety, and appearance of your commercial property during and after COVID-19.

Health Benefits of Commercial Carpet Cleaning in Commercial Buildings

Americans working in all industries have had to change their daily schedules. While many people are working from home, there are lots of essential businesses that must keep their doors open and conduct operations within their commercial buildings. Commercial carpet cleaning helps remove dirt, dust, allergens, and other unwanted particles from the carpets in your building, ultimately improving air quality. Since many people are forced to wear face masks in public places now, your employees and the clients and customers visiting your business likely have enough difficulty breathing—the air quality inside your building shouldn’t make it worse.

Improve the Visual Appeal of Your Building

A clean commercial building creates a great first impression on everyone who walks through your doors. When you invest in a professional commercial carpet cleaning service, you are investing in a solid first impression with every new employee, every potential partner, and every interested customer who visits the premises.

Protect the Carpets You’ve Purchased

It’s vital to protect everything you have purchased for your business and your commercial property. In some cases, your carpets may have strict cleaning requirements that you must meet if you want to maintain warranty coverage for them. Hiring a professional commercial carpet cleaning service to regularly deep-clean your carpets not only takes this responsibility off your in-house maintenance team’s plate but also ensures long-term protection of your carpets.

Increase Productivity and Save Money

Ultimately, a healthy work environment means that your employees will be less likely to get sick onsite and call out of work. The investment you make into a professional routine cleaning schedule can pay off tremendously by ensuring your employees are not getting sick all the time. Improving air quality with professional carpet cleaning can reduce your employees’ exposure to harmful particles, and this, in combination with a deep cleaning of the other surfaces throughout your building, will ultimately improve the productivity of your workforce.

Anything that improves the health of your employees is well worth the time and investment.

FAQs About Antimicrobial Floor Coating

By antimicrobial floor coating

Daily business concerns are often more than enough to keep you busy. Ensuring the safety and maintenance of the flooring can go from being a distant thought to an urgent problem that suddenly needs to be dealt with quickly, especially during these times of microbiological awareness. Preventing the spread of disease has become a singular priority in the last year and will continue to be so for the foreseeable future.

What Is Antimicrobial Floor Coating?

Microbial, sometimes called antibacterial, flooring is produced with an EPA-registered component that deters and inhibits the growth of microorganisms, which provides long-term protection from a wide-ranging spectrum of bacteria, fungi, yeast, actinomycetes, and mildew. It can also protect your flooring from odor-causing microorganisms.

RELATED ARTICLE: Go Beyond Dusting – The Importance of Deep Cleaning

For the best prevention possible, we use an antimicrobial dispersion throughout the resin used for the floor, rather than just in the sealer alone. This process maximizes antimicrobial protection, as well as giving the flooring a beautiful glossy shine.

Why Is It Important?

Bacteria and microbes exist nearly everywhere and in every environment. They can even survive in outer space. Imagine how easily germs can be carried into your facility by your staff, customers, shipping partners, and even by industrious creatures like rodents and tiny ones like insects. Your flooring is a high-traffic area and is likely to have the most exposure to microbes than any other part of your facility, therefore, it should be the most heavily protected from microorganisms. This is especially true of businesses that demand clean and safe processing environments.

What Are the Benefits?

Concrete is naturally porous and is a breeding ground for bacteria, fungi, molds, and spores. These microbes grow in the moisture-retaining cracks and crevices found in concrete. Compared to bare concrete, antimicrobial flooring systems:

  • Provide a more microbiologically sound environment, which prohibits the growth of microbes, rendering your facility safer from health hazards.
  • Are USDA compliant and CFIA approved.
  • Come in a variety of colors and textures (for safety)
  • Can be installed very quickly, minimizing facility downtime
  • Are easy to clean and sanitize, eliminating the need for caustic chemicals which pollute the air

What Industries Are Best Benefited from Antimicrobial Flooring?

  • Manufacturer Processing and Packing Facilities
  • Hospitals and Healthcare Facilities
  • Meat and Seafood Packing Facilities
  • Laboratories
  • Bakeries, Kitchens, and Dairies
  • Pharmaceutical Processing Facilities

The list is not exhaustive. Any business can benefit from antimicrobial floor coating since it provides a barrier for microbe growth, which is rapidly becoming an important focus of businesses around the world.

Are You Aware of These Seven Epoxy Floor Benefits?

By Deep Cleaning, Epoxy Floors

If done well, flooring shouldn’t be a daily concern for your business. However, when maintaining the cleanliness of your business’s floor becomes a nightmare, and its surface provides safety hazards for you and your employees, flooring can quickly turn from an afterthought to a primary business environment issue. Fortunately, one type of commercial flooring can alleviate many of the concerns tied to your old flooring—epoxy flooring. Keep reading for epoxy floor benefits.

Epoxy Floor Benefits

Epoxy flooring consists of a durable, concrete floor sealed with an epoxy coating. As one of the most popular types of commercial flooring in use today, epoxy flooring is often found in laboratories, food and medicine plants and distribution centers, warehouses, garages, and manufacturing facilities. These industries often choose epoxy flooring because of the numerous benefits it holds over traditional bare concrete floors, including:

  1. Safety. Epoxy flooring offers low-slip options, as well as coatings that are resistant to extreme temperature changes and fire. Also, many epoxy coatings provide resistance to chemical spills and can more easily facilitate cleanups, keeping those working with hazardous chemicals safer than bare concrete alone.

  1. Low Maintenance. Unlike concrete, epoxy coatings are non-porous, making it impossible for dirt, oil, and other stains to sink in. Cleanup of substances from dust to chemical spills is much easier than with a bare concrete floor.
  2. Strength and Durability. Once applied to your concrete floors, epoxy coatings harden to a durable polymer and extend the floor’s life. Concrete floors coated with epoxy are resistant to impacts, temperature extremes, and caustic chemicals, allowing them to wear much more slowly than a bare concrete floor.
  3. Reduced Vehicle Impact. Whether you utilize a fleet of transport vehicles for distribution, in-house machinery for loading, or both, epoxy flooring causes less wear than bare concrete flooring. In return, vehicle maintenance efforts and costs decline as well.

RELATED ARTICLE: Go Beyond Dusting – The Importance of Deep Cleaning

  1. Environmentally Friendly. Epoxy flooring is considered a viable green alternative to other types of flooring that require more materials and need replacement more often. In addition, the reduced impact on your vehicle fleet can add years to vehicle life and require vehicle replacement less often.
  2. Attractive Qualities. Unlike a traditional concrete floor, epoxy flooring is available in practically any color combination and can enhance the appearance of your business—especially since it resists dirt and spills. Depending on the gloss you choose, epoxy flooring can also reflect overhead lighting and brighten your business space.
  3. Efficient Installation. Depending on the condition of your existing flooring, you may be able to apply epoxy flooring directly to your concrete. The overall ease of application and quick curing time allow business to continue as usual much more quickly than with other flooring installations.

Epoxy floor benefits include: non-porous, easy to clean, resistant to wear, and extends the life of traditional flooring. If you’d like to learn more about how adding an epoxy floor can eliminate your business’s flooring concerns, reach out to the experts at Professional Surface Restoration or call (419) 705-8693.

4 Reasons to Choose Full-Broadcast Epoxy for Your Garage Floor

By Epoxy Floors

Your garage floor takes a beating—it gets stained from dirt and tire tracks, oil stains, and the wear and tear of all the activities you do in your garage. It’s the place where you work on your car and store everything from boxes of family mementos to bicycles, tools, lawnmowers, and yard games. The professionals at Professional Surface Restoration know how hard it is to keep the concrete floor of your garage clean and attractive, and that’s why we recommend treating your floor with an epoxy floor coating. Consider these advantages an epoxy-coated floor offers.

Prevents Wear to Tires

You typically think of your garage as a place where your car is safe, but most people don’t realize that an untreated, stained concrete floor can wear on tires. When you use epoxy over your concrete floor, it creates a thin buffer that helps protect your tires by giving them a smoother surface on which to sit. Even a little increase in tire lifespan saves money on repairs down the road.

RELATED ARTICLE: Go Beyond Dusting – The Importance of Deep Cleaning

Easy Installation

Replacing a concrete floor is a huge undertaking that you will wish you could have avoided. The good news is you can! Applying a coating of epoxy to your concrete flooring is fast and easy and doesn’t require any heavy power tools. After it is applied, it immediately starts protecting the concrete, so you get years more out of it before replacement is necessary.

Professional Look

A sharp-looking, clean garage floor makes a huge difference in the way you see your garage, as well as the way others view your workspace. The spills and stains that build up on concrete not only look bad, but they can also produce an unpleasant odor that no one wants to be around. For a professional look, coat your floor in epoxy to keep it shiny and clean and help to create a more appealing shop environment.

Makes Cleaning Easy

Your garage floor becomes filthy over time due to oil leaks, gasoline, bleach, and other messy substances that are usually left to set in for a while before they are cleaned up. Using an epoxy coating benefits your garage floor by filling in the porous surface of the concrete with a substance that is easy to clean and adds an extra layer of strength to help preserve the concrete and keep it from breaking down over time.

If you are looking for a way to keep your concrete garage floor looking shiny and new, epoxy flooring is the solution you have been seeking.

By Pool Cleaning

cleaning your pool before the season startsCleaning your pool can ensure that it is clean and beautiful in time for the summer season when you’ll want to use it the most.

Hard water left unaddressed by professionals can create stains that are extremely difficult to remove. When you arrange for professional pool cleaning, you can feel proud having company come over and enjoy your pool knowing that there aren’t any unsightly stains or potentially hazardous mildew or algae in your pool area.
  2. Water quality. A professional pool cleaning team can potentially identify signs of hard water and other chemical issues that might contribute to discoloration.

  3. Professional pool cleaning can make maintenance easier. Instead of contending with a dirty and discolored pool all summer long, professional cleaning can make it much easier to perform basic maintenance throughout the summer. Starting summer with a clean pool means less of a need for deep cleanings in the coming months that could disrupt your plans to enjoy your pool during the hot weather.

Go Beyond Dusting – The Importance of Deep Cleaning

By Uncategorized

Importance of Deep CleaningWhile everyday cleaning certainly keeps things looking sharp and tidy, you may need more to protect your family from hidden dangers in your home. Some things are obvious; we notice dirty windows, dusty bookshelves, and kitchen counters, so those are the things we gravitate toward keeping clean, but it’s the things we don’t see that can cause the most harm.

The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in increased attention to microscopic pathogens like viruses. More stringent measures are necessary to protect ourselves against that which we can’t see, and deep cleaning has become an absolute must in homes around the country as we face this crisis and look to protecting ourselves in the future.

How Long Do Viruses Live in the Home?

There are a multitude of factors that affect how long a virus can live on surfaces in the home. Some can’t live for more than an hour, while others can survive for weeks. Temperature and humidity can affect a virus’ life span, as well as the amount of the virus on the surface. Some types of surfaces, like metals and plastics, are more conducive to virus survival than softer surfaces such as fabrics.

RELATED ARTICLE: Deep Cleaning Restaurants During Ohio’s Stay-In-Place Order

The coronavirus has been known to live on plastic and steel surfaces for up to three days, while it only survives on cardboard surfaces for about one day. The amount of the virus on the surface comes into play here, as you are more likely to become infected if there is a larger amount of the viral particles on your surfaces. Your daily cleaning can be beneficial for this reason, as keeping doorknobs, countertops, and toilets will help keep the amount of virus on those surfaces at bay. The best way, however, to ensure a thorough cleanse is to have your home professionally deep cleaned on a regular basis.

How to Best Protect Your Home from Germs

When you want to call in the cavalry to fight against these unseen forces that can harm you and your family, a professional cleaning service is the way to go. Deep cleaning is the most effective way to reduce the pathogens in your home, and, in these uncertain times, this service is more essential than ever. Reputable professional cleaners use the latest equipment and cleaning supplies to ensure the most thorough cleansing possible for your home. A combination of regular, scheduled appointments and a bit of maintenance touch-ups in between is the best way to prevent the spread of the coronavirus and other infectious diseases.

If taking steps to ensure your family’s health and protection from the coronavirus, as well as other pathogens like the common cold, the flu, and stomach bugs is important to you, reach out to Professional Surface Restoration today at (419) 705-8693 to see how we can help.

3 Ways to Protect Your Medical Office with Deep Cleaning

By Deep Cleaning

Protect Your Medical Office with Deep Cleaning - medical office deep cleaningAcross the country, social distancing guidelines and stay-at-home orders have forced many businesses to close up, at least temporarily, until the dangers of the coronavirus have passed. Even some medical offices and clinics are shut down or only allowing for emergency visits. Most elective or non-emergency visits and procedures have been postponed or cancelled for now.

For any medical office that is closed or operating at a reduced capacity, now is the perfect time for a deep cleaning.

Here are the main reasons why a professional medical office deep cleaning is so important:

Deep Cleaning Kills the Virus

Perhaps most importantly, a proper and thorough deep cleaning can get rid of the virus that may be lingering on surfaces in the office. Scientists are still studying and learning about the coronavirus, but they do know that the virus can live on certain surfaces for quite a while. This depends on the type of surface. For example, the virus can survive longer on glass or ceramic surfaces than on material like copper. A professional cleaning team can disinfect all surfaces where the virus might be living.

RELATED ARTICLE: Deep Cleaning Restaurants During Ohio’s Stay-in-Place Order

Deep Cleaning Shows Your Patients That You Care

Any medical office should take their patients’ health seriously, and a good deep cleaning at this time is an important way to communicate to your patients that you value their health and safety. Patients may have concerns about commonly touched items and surfaces in the office, like doorknobs, countertops, and furniture.

Many waiting rooms also have some toys for children to play with, as well as magazines and informational pamphlets for waiting patients to read. It’s important at this time to deep clean all of these items and communicate to your patients just how everything is being cleaned.

Deep Cleaning Sets Everyone’s Mind at Ease

Fears run rampant in a pandemic, but a clean environment can put everyone’s mind at ease. Patients and staff members want to feel safe and comfortable in their environment, and a deep cleaning can help everyone who later enters your office to feel comfortable and cared for.

During the coming weeks, while businesses are closed and more people are staying at home, it is a great time to schedule a deep cleaning for your medical office. Professional Surface Restoration has the expertise and experience needed to deep clean your office and keep your patients and staff safe from coronavirus exposure. Contact us for more information.
