Maintaining Your Marble Floor The Professional Way

Cleaning & Restoration in Austin

Marble flooring is a great choice to add sophistication and beauty to any home, as long as you know how to properly take care of the marble. Marble can be more sensitive to cleaning solutions than other flooring may be, so we’re here to tell you about the professional way to maintain that sleek shine of your marble floor.

The Importance Of Polishing

Polishing your marble is extremely important to keep its deep lustre. Most marble will need to be polished at least every one to three years, and some may even last five if they’re properly maintained. If you don’t have it polished in this time, it will have dull, damaged spots from day-to-day things like spills damaging the floor over time. This occurs because marble is sensitive to anything acidic, and as the seal is worn down over time, the marble starts to become damaged. Marble also happens to be very porous, so dirt will settle into it if the seal is damaged. If you notice any of this occurring, you need to have your marble floor professionally polished as soon as possible.

Professional Marble Polishing

As we mentioned before, marble is extremely sensitive to anything acidic, which is why most household cleaning products are not a good choice for polishing marble. Only certified marble polish, marble cleaner and marble sealer should be used. Without the proper equipment and methods, you can’t polish your marble floor on your own. That’s why we recommend our professional marble polishing service. We’ve got our very own line of marble polishing products to give the shine back to your marble. So if it’s time to have your marble polished and renewed, give us a call and let our team of professional restoration technicians help you today!

Reviving Your Carpet With The Steam Team

If you vacuum your carpet about once a week or even more often, you’re doing a decent job at keeping it clean, but you’re going to need a lot more than that. Vacuuming only takes care of a fraction of the dirt, debris and bacteria hiding in your carpet. And what about the stains in your carpet? Vacuuming won’t do anything to get rid of those. Having your carpet professionally steam cleaned every once in a while is a great way to ensure a full clean. Here’s some information on our very own professional carpet and rug cleaning service here at The Steam Team.

If you don’t like how it turns out, we’ll try something else. Our technicians won’t rest until they find a cleaning method that suits your needs. At the end of the cleaning process, we’ll apply a powerful carpet protector to keep your carpet from further stains and damage.

What is Steam Cleaning?

Steam cleaning, or hot water extraction is a cleaning method that uses extreme temperatures and highly pressurized water to remove dust, dirt, debris, allergens, and more from deep within carpet fibers. It’s an easy and effective way of cleaning more than just carpet; it also cleans furniture, upholstery, surfaces, and even natural stone!

Steam cleaning is known for effortlessly removing stains and odors from carpet and furniture! Even when it comes to pet urine and feces stains, or some of the toughest food stains, steam cleaning can do it all. It reaches deep within the fibers of the carpet or furniture and extracts everything you don’t want existing down there!

Another perk to steam cleaning? It doesn't use any chemicals! It cleans using absolutely nothing but hot water, and high pressure. It doesn’t leave behind any residue either, and your carpet dries quickly. The Steam Team would never leave you with damp carpet! We know that mold thrives in damp environments, and definitely don’t want to cause any problems.

5 Ways to Keep Flooring Looking Fabulous in Austin, TX

Cleaning Austin, TX

Your flooring may already look fabulous to you, but who knows what’s truly lurking against the grain of those beautiful planks? Dirt and dust can hide quite inconspicuously. Not to

mention, at some point in time, a wet mop will have to make its way out of the cleaning closet (for best results, that is). Below, you’ll find five ways to care for your hardwood flooring!

Dust Weekly with Microfiber Cloth or Dry Mop

Dust seems to attack from all corners of the house: the back door, the front, foot traffic, our animals… it even cycles around beneath ceiling fans. Try dry dusting with a microfiber cloth (so that the dust sticks, and doesn’t spread!) or even better- with a dry mop!

Vacuum Regularly

We’re not talking about carpet, here. In fact, many vacuums function on hardwood floor, as they come with a setting suitable for bare floor. If you don’t have time to dry mop or dust often, we suggest finding a vacuum cleaner suitable for your hardwood. It can save time and so much energy!

Use a Wet Mop

It’s unavoidable, especially if you spot a neglected spill. Before using a wet mop, make sure you’ve prepared properly by purchasing the correct floor cleaner. Using a solution that isn’t designed for hardwood can cause damage, or at the least, smudging and obvious track marks!

Clean Spills Immediately

Rule #1 of cleaning: if it spills, it stays… until somebody comes to clean it up. To keep your hardwood flooring looking clean and pristine, tackle spills and stains right away! Don’t let them settle onto the flooring- it’ll only be more difficult to clean in the long run.

Call The Steam Team!

If properly cared for, hardwood floors can last forever. Every one to three years or so, The Steam Team can assist you in deep-cleaning your floors. Or if you’re in need of a hardwood floor refinishing, we’ve got your back! Don’t hesitate to give us a call. We’re available around the clock!
