If you are like most of us, we procrastinate simply because no one wants to get down on their hands and knees and scrub each individual tile and grout with a small brush using bleach and harsh chemicals.
As you know, everything falls to the floor or on countertops, including coffee, grease, bacteria and other soilds that contribute to the grout turning black. Go ahead and take a look at an area of grout near a wall and see the difference when compared to the heavily used areas. Save time, energy and all-around frustration by trusting Preferred Carpet Care in Redding with this task.
Pre-Inspection
Our technicians take note of the challenging areas and set your expectations, come up with a solution for each area and answer any questions you might have.
Area Preparation
We prepare the areas surrounding the tile, and make a point not to disturb any carpeted areas or hardwood floors. We move any furniture in the area, excluding appliances and heavy objects such as bookcases or dressers.
Dry soil removal
Our technicians extensively sweep the entire area to maximize the results.
Soil Suspension
We use the safest and highest quality products. Please remember that Preferred Carpet Care only uses earth-friendly products that are friendly toward your family, including pets. The cleaning agent sprayed over the entire surface of your tile is the most scientifically advanced tile cleaner on the market.
Cleaning
Intricate, difficult and hard-to-get-to areas are brushed by hand. For heavy use areas, a mechanical rotating brush is employed. The entire floor is then cleaned using a state of the art self-contained pressure cleaning tool. Our powerful truck-mounted machine generates a heated pressure of 800+ P.S.I and a water temperature around 230 degrees. The floor tool is suctioned to the floor and used to confine the water pressure within the 16 inch head of the tool, so there is no need to worry about water splashing and making a mess.
Rinsing
A rinse solution is pumped through the machine during cleaning, sanitizing and balancing the pH of your floor to a neutral balance.
Sealing and Finishing
The type of sealer and application varies based on the type of surface application. One of the sealers we use is an impregnator that fills the cavities of the grout to resist soil penetration. (If grout is in need of colorizing, this is done before the sealing process). Yes, we can re-color your grout! We have up to fifteen different color selections.
Post-inspection
Technicians finish with a final walkthrough and show you the outstanding results. They finish by handing you a guide on how to care for your newly cleaned tile.
