Area Rug CLeaning Austin TX

We at The Steam Team are now one of a select few companies that have been certified as “Master Rug Cleaners”, a distinguished certification that requires extensive training and expertise. So what is it that makes The Steam Team so different when it comes to cleaning valuable Oriental and Persian rugs?

Steam Team: Rug Experts

The first thing that sets The Steam Team apart when it comes to rugs is that we understand the value of your Oriental rug. We understand that for many people it's more than just a gorgeous decoration, it’s an investment. Oriental rugs, if they’re kept up well enough, increase in value over time. Because of this, we only use technology, tools, and equipment designed specifically for a gentle and safe cleaning of your oriental rugs. This is one reason we’re the best carpet and rug cleaning service in the Austin area!

Our Rug Process

The Steam Team’s rug cleaning process will begin with a thorough inspection of your fine textile to determine the best cleaning method for your specific type of rug. After inspection, our professional technicians will use pressurized air to carefully remove all loose dirt particles from the rug. Then, a pile lifter and vacuum is used to carefully remove the remaining dirt.

When all dirt has been removed, it’s time for the real cleaning to begin. The rug will be sprayed with a preconditioning agent and shampooed with area rug cleaning agents. The next step will be to completely rinse away all contaminants along with the cleaning solution. The rug will then be hand groomed to insure perfect lay of the fibers and to promote even drying.

With the cleaning finished, it’s time for drying and finishing touches. Your rug will be hung up to dry in our controlled atmosphere drying room to ensure the best conditions possible. When drying is complete, your rug will be inspected again to ensure it has been fully cleaned and dried, then our technicians will hand-comb all fringes and use specialized tools to brighten them to their original color.

Now you know why you should choose The Steam Team for your fine rug cleaning needs. For more information, be sure to call or visit The Steam Team website.

Detailed Post-Construction Cleanup From The Steam Team

If you recently had any major construction or remodeling done on your home or business, there’s probably a big mess that needs cleaning. Luckily, our Steam Team Professionals have the right experience and equipment to clean any post-construction mess. Here’s our team’s process:

Total Surface Cleaning

Construction is messy, and your home or business may have been left covered with dust and debris. Dust knocked off of certain surfaces, pieces of wood, sawdust and chipped paint may be covering your counters or shelves. Our technicians will clean all windows, cabinets, shelves and countertops by hand until all debris is removed. Floors and walls will be sanitized with steam cleaners, vacuumed or mopped as needed to remove debris. Furniture will be cleaned according to its specific material. Our technicians won’t quit until the surfaces of your home or business are spotless!

Finishing Touches

After thoroughly cleaning all surfaces and furniture, our technicians will move on to the more detailed areas. If any debris of any kind remains in the ventilation system after construction, it could enter the air of the property and cause problems for anyone breathing inside the building. All vents will be cleaned and dusted to make sure this doesn't happen. Then our team will move on to things like electronics, small appliances, light fixtures, small decorative items and ceiling fans. At the end of the process, your home will be even cleaner than it was before the construction or remodeling took place!

The Benefits of Cleaning - Austin, Texas

If you’re new to steam cleaning, you may be wondering what all the fuss is about. What’s so special? Why is this method superior to other, more traditional methods of cleaning? Well, we’re here to hopefully answer all of your questions. Below, The Steam Team has three basic benefits to steam cleaning your home or office today. 

It’s a Clean You Can Trust

Gone are the days of leftover residue and doubts: is this truly clean? A steam cleaner cleans your home like nothing else does. It provides a certain level of clean that you can truly trust! And best of all, there won’t be any residue left behind. Nothing but a clean, smooth surface, instead. 

It’s Safe For the Environment

Secondly, steam cleaning is completely safe for the environment, and that includes your children and pets! Because steam cleaning doesn’t involve the use of any chemicals or cleaning products, and doesn't leave behind a residue, there’s no harm done. Steam cleaning only uses hot water, and highly pressurized steam to thoroughly clean anything from tile and grout, to window blinds. 

It Saves You Effort and Legwork

I think we all can agree that most cleaning methods are pretty rigorous; there’s either a lot of scrubbing, or mopping, or waxing involved. However, our last benefit for you is that steam cleaning saves you from all of that effort and legwork. Especially if you call in the professionals! A professional-grade steam cleaner effortlessly lifts dirt and grime from the pores of grout, and the surfaces of tile- and so much more! 

If your home or office is in need of a steam cleaning, don’t hesitate to give The Steam Team a call! We have all of the right tools, equipment, and expertise for any cleaning or restoration job! And we’re available 24/7 for emergency reconstruction, as well. So don’t wait. GIve us a call today. 

Fire Damage Tips Austin Texas

Winter is right around the corner… and as temperatures begin to drop, some of us are lighting our fireplaces already! It’s important, however, to remain educated about fire safety this season. Fire damage is definitely not something you want to deal with, so let’s follow these five safety guidelines when burning fires and heating your home this winter:

For space heaters:

Don’t Use Space Heaters (As Primary Sources of Heat)

Space heaters can be very dangerous and should only be used as supplementary sources of heat. And of course, they should be placed in a safe area, away from curtains, clothing items, flammable liquids, decorations, etc!

Use a Reliable Extension Cord

When it comes to the extension cord for your handy space heater, make sure it’s the adequate cord! If the extension cord is unable to handle the current, it could potentially overheat and melt. Then you’re in need of a replacement cord at best, or dealing with fire damage at worst.

For fireplaces:

Use a Fire Screen

Fire screens are used to shield the room from popping embers. They’re made of chain link or sometimes glass (always remember that glass can get really hot, and thus dangerous for pets and children).

Utilize the Proper Tools

Your fire will need to be poked and prodded periodically to keep it burning. Be sure you’re using the correct tools, for your own safety!

Clean Your Chimney

Lastly, it’s important to have your chimney cleaned at least once per year. Clearing it of dust, dirt, soot, and debris will help smoke flow through it easily. We service all of Central Texas. Please visit our website for service areas in Austin. 

Remember, accidents do happen, and we can’t do much to prevent them. So in case of your fire in your home, contact The Steam Team to help with the cleanup process. We’re experts at it, and have been doing it for over a decade now! So don’t hesitate!

Carpet Cleaning Tips for Keeping Your Office Clean

It’s a new season, and that means it’s time for a change. A little cleaning and rearranging of the office furniture never hurt anyone, right? It can feel renewing, stepping into a freshly cleaned office. After all, your office is an investment, so why not treat it as such? The Steam Team can help you keep your office clean this season- just follow these few simple guidelines!

Don’t Eat Lunch at Your Desk

Don’t eat lunch at your desk! Instead, head to the break room. Besides, it can feel incredibly refreshing to step away for a little while. Eating at your desk will cause grime to build up faster; you simply can’t avoid accidents, and sometimes lunch gets messy!

Dust on the Regular

...Even if you don’t feel like it. The more frequently you dust, the easier it will be each time. You simply can’t avoid it, friends! Offices collect dust rather quickly and need to be cleaned on the regular.

Vacuum, Vacuum, Vacuum

We’ve got to get rid of those dust mites somehow! Not to mention the crumbs around your desk from you not following guideline #1. Vacuum your office thoroughly at least once a week to keep the flooring looking fantastic.

Clean the Window Blinds

Window blinds are notorious for capturing dust, dirt, and debris. What’s worse- cleaning them is an easy chore to procrastinate because it can be so inconvenient! But with a steam cleaning machine, you won’t even need to remove the blinds from where they hang. At least, not when we do it! Call The Steam Team for all your rug cleaning.

Lastly, call The Steam Team for all of your high rise cleaning needs. We have over a decade of experience cleaning office buildings, homes, apartments, retail spaces, and so many more- you can definitely rely on us to get the job done quickly and effectively!

The Steam Team rug cleaning 

Area and Oriental rugs make great decorative pieces in our homes, and with a little TLC, we can keep them looking great and even increase their longevity! Below you’ll find a few basic cleaning and care tips for area and oriental rugs, and we’re certain you’ll find them helpful! Happy cleaning!

Rug Cleaning

As long as your rug is small enough to pick up, you can start by beating it clean. That’s right- this is a great way to take out your frustrations! Shake your rug outside first, and then hang it on a clothesline for a good beating. Afterward, bring it back inside to finish cleaning it by vacuuming.

When it comes to washing your rugs, first make sure the rug is “machine washable.” Check the label on your rug for instructions such as these. Also check for the appropriate temperature to avoid damaging the fibers of your rugs! After shaking your rug outside, toss it in the washing machine with all settings corresponding to the washing instructions, and you’re good to go!

When vacuuming your rug, use the gentle setting and start from the center, working your way outward. Lift the fringe to vacuum beneath, and viola!

Be gentle with the fringe of your area rugs. Check the labels for care instructions, and contact a professional cleaning service for help caring for them. You can definitely rely on The Steam Team to properly care and preserve your rugs- just give us a call!

Call in The Steam Team at 512-451-8326

Sometimes it’s best to call in the professionals. When you call The Steam Team, your rug won’t be finished cleaning until our technicians have given it a thorough inspection. You can count on us to get the job done safely and correctly!

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!
