What is the Best Way to Clean Your Ceramic Tile Floors?

What is the Best Way
to Clean Your Ceramic Tile Floors?

Besides their phenomenal beauty and versatility, porcelain tile floors have the advantage of being very low-maintenance. Ceramics are made of natural particles that are shaped and fired in a kiln at very high temperatures.

This process creates a durability and resiliency that is unmatched by most other flooring surfaces. When glazed, they also have a protective barrier from dirt, water, stains, and chemicals, making them even more impervious to the elements. Even while easy to maintain, there are some steps to take to ensure that it remains in optimal condition.

Sealing Ceramic and Porcelain Tile & Grout

Glazed tiles are coated with a liquid glass, which is then baked into the surface of the clay. The glaze provides an unlimited array of colors and designs as well as protects the tile from staining. A glazed tile is already stain proof, so there is no purpose to putting on a sealer. However, the grout joint between the tiles is usually very porous and generally made of a cement-based material. Therefore, grout joints typically will need to be sealed and maintained properly to prevent stains and discoloration. Impregnating sealers such as All-Purpose Grout Sealer go into the grout joint and protect against water and oil-based stains. Most industry professionals recognize that grout is best protected with a fluorochemical-based sealer, such as Impregnator Pro or All-Purpose Grout Sealer. If the grout joint is epoxy, a sealer is not necessary.

Pacific’s Powerful Steam Cleaning Truck-mounted Machines

Pacific utilizes the most cutting-edge custom Steam Cleaning Units available in the market today!
Comparison of Portable and Truck Mount Carpet Cleaning Machines

There are two types of carpet cleaning machines that professionals use to clean your carpets with the hot water extraction method — the portable and the truck mount.

The portable hot water extraction machine is just that: portable. They are small enough to be wheeled around and carried. Professional carpet cleaners use portable carpet cleaning machines in hard to reach places. They also use them in high rise buildings where hoses from a machine outside cannot reach.

Portable hot water extractors have a tank that is filled with water and cleaning solution. Some portable machines also have a built-in heater, which can heat the rinse water to high temperatures. The portable machine has fairly short hoses. So, your professional cleaner has to move the machine with them as they move throughout your house.

When a professional carpet cleaner uses a portable machine to clean your carpets, it is definitely effective. However, there are some drawbacks to portable carpet cleaning machines.

First, the tank on the portable machine is fairly small. Your carpet cleaning professional will have to refill the tank with clean water and solution and empty the waste tank several times throughout the cleaning. The portable hot water extractor usually holds about 10 gallons, which will on average clean 1-2 rooms.

Second, some portable carpet cleaning machines do not come with a built-in heater. This means that the water in the machine will only be as hot as it was when it came out of your tap. As the water sits in the tank of the portable carpet cleaning machine, it will cool down. So, the professional cleaner must work quickly to maximize the hot water temperature. They may need to refill the tank frequently to maintain the water temperature as well.

Third, portable carpet cleaning machines leave your carpet more wet than more powerful machines. Because they are portable, these machines are limited in their heft and power. Because of this, they are also limited in the amount of suction they provide. Less suction means more moisture from the cleaning process stays in your carpet. More moisture means your carpet will take longer to fully dry.

Again, when a professional cleans your carpet with a portable hot water extraction machine, it is effective. However, there are drawbacks to the portable machines.

The other type of hot water extraction carpet cleaning machine is a truck mount machine. Truck mount hot water extractors are the best tools in carpet cleaning. Truck mount machines are just that: mounted in your carpet cleaner’s truck. The machine stays in the truck throughout the cleaning process. Your carpet cleaner connects hoses to the machine and brings these clean hoses into your house to clean your carpets.

There are two major advantages to the truck mount hot water extraction machines.

First, truck mount machines have the ability to heat the cleaning water up to 230º and keep it at that temperature throughout the cleaning! The truck mount machine uses an extremely powerful gas engine to heat the water. This hot water is absolutely crucial to achieving a heavy-duty clean! The difference between cleaning with water that is 230º and with water that is, let’s say 120º (your hot tap water temperature), is incredible. Properly heated water is one of the keys to a super clean carpet.

The second major advantage of truck mount carpet cleaning machines is their incredible suction power. Your professional carpet cleaner will use the high powered vacuum hose to remove the cleaning solution, water, and soils from your carpet. The truck mount machine deposits all of this in the recovery tank inside the carpet cleaning truck. This strong suction, again provided by the powerful gas engine, helps remove as much moisture from your carpet as possible. Removing this moisture cuts down on the drying time for your carpet.

The truck mount carpet cleaning machines provide a deeper clean and a faster drying time and more cost effective than the portable hot water extraction machines. In the hands of a skilled professional carpet cleaner, both types of machines are effective. However, if you have a choice between hiring a cleaner with a portable machine and hiring a cleaner with a truck mount machine, the truck mount is the way to go!

Natural Carpet Cleaning

Our new carpet cleaner is made from natural ingredients and is free of harmful chemicalsfound in other cleaners. Carpet cleaning companies around the world are still using cleaners that contain harsh and potentially toxic ingredients that can harm you and your family over time. CB2 doesn’t contain any nonylphenol (NPE) or other carcinogens that are classified by the National Toxicology Program (NTP), the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) or the United States Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA). Here at Pacific, we want your home sparkling clean, but we’re just as dedicated to your safety and health.

“I explained my needs, and the technician delivered to the best of his abilities. He let me know the likelihood of removing stains beforehand and presented options in case cleaning was insufficient.” Lisa Moore – Newport Beach, CA

Eco-Friendly carpet cleaner combined with our method

Pacific takes green cleaning one step further with our steam carpet cleaning method. Our cleaning method is gentle on the carpet fibers and produces no wastewater. Our 100% heat extraction Large waste water tanks we use to clean your carpets, which means that our technicians will not be dumping buckets of dirty water and chemicals into your septic system inside, or your community’s storm drain system outside.

In some communities these systems are combined, which means the water gets treated before released to local water bodies. In contrast, in some areas the two systems are separate allowing anything placed in the storm drain system to go directly into your local water bodies.

While it may not be illegal to discharge carpet cleaning waste water in the sanitary sewer system, you are supposed to contact local health department or EPA before doing so, as regulations vary from city to city. No permits to obtain or departments have to be notified. Pacific is leading the way to increase awareness of the potential health impacts of some carpet cleaning products used by some bonnet carpet cleaners. Pacific is part of the new class of green and eco-friendly carpet cleaning companies.

Why Does Carpet Need to Be Professionally Cleaned Regularly

Professional-Upgolstery-Cleaning-services-in-Newport Beach CA

While renting a carpet cleaning machine may be cheaper than hiring a professional, there are many advantages to calling in the pros that will make the extra cost worthwhile. Not only do professional carpet cleaners save you time, they also ensure that your carpets are being cleaned safely and effectively. Here are the top 10 advantages of hiring a professional carpet cleaner.

1. Certified equipment and cleaning solutions – Look for a professional carpet cleaner who uses equipment and products certified by the Carpet and Rug Institute, which means it is a Seal of Approval company. Unlike machines you rent or buy, the portable steam cleaners or truck-mounted machines professionals use have a super strong suction that enable them to extract deeply embedded dirt and stubborn stains – more so than other machines. If you have small children or allergen sensitivities and are concerned about the application of carpet cleaning chemicals, find companies that use Eco-Friendly Cleaning Solutions that are plant-based and natural.

2. Industrial-strength vacuum power – Experienced professional cleaners know that vacuuming before proceeding with a deep cleaning is crucial to achieving the best results. For that reason, professional cleaners will vacuum the carpets with an industrial-strength vacuum to pick up dirt, dust, hair, and other dry contaminants.

3. Don’t break your back – Another bonus is that professional cleaners will your furniture out of the room before cleaning. No need to break your back or rent a dolly. Plus, once the carpets are dry, the cleaner will move all of the furniture back to their original places. Just make sure moving furniture is part of the price you are quoted and not an extra fee.

4. Improve the air quality in your home – Regular vacuuming will only remove surface dirt and dust, leaving pounds of built-up grime embedded in your carpet fibers. It is recommended that you have your carpets professionally cleaned once a year – more frequently for larger households and areas with high traffic – to remove deeply layered dirt underneath your carpet. A professional carpet cleaner’s equipment is powerful enough to eliminate the unseen dry contaminants, improving the air quality inside your home.

5. Save you time – When you clean your carpets yourself, you have to move the furniture, vacuum all of the carpets, spot treat your carpet to remove stains, apply pre-treatment solution to your carpet, fill and empty the tanks, and carry and cleaning the equipment when you are done. Phew! Using a professional service means an experienced technician takes care of all of those tasks for, saving you time and a trip to the chiropractor.

6. Avoid mold and mildew – Mold and mildew are common carpet invaders. Often, they appear after someone attempts to clean their own carpets, leaving them excessively wet. Hiring a professional will ensure that your carpets do not become over saturated and are properly extracted with industrial-strength suction power.

7. Restore to your carpet to its original beauty and quality – Aside from removing stubborn stains and embedded dirt, professional carpet cleaners also aim to restore carpet to its original beauty and quality. Maintaining your carpets with regular professional deep cleanings will help you extend the life of your carpet and will leave your carpets feeling and looking fresh and clean.

8. Protection – Professional carpet cleaners also aim to help you protect your carpets from future stains and accidents. Ask about having specially manufactured cleaning agents applied to your carpet to protect the fibers from wear and tear, as well as stains and spills.

9. Knowledge of different carpet types – An experienced carpet cleaning technician will have sufficient knowledge of the different types and brands of carpet, and will be able to suggest the best cleaning methods and products for your carpet. Instead of taking risk using a carpet cleaning rental or store-bought cleaning solution, protect your carpet from unintentional damage and let a pro expertly clean your carpet.

10. Guaranteed – Find a reputable carpet cleaner who will offer a 100% guarantee for his work. Reputable companies offer a standard 14- to 30- day guarantee, which includes a free follow-up cleaning if there are any problems with their work.
