Best Cleaning Methods for Commercial Flooring

Ensuring your business remains clean is an essential aspect of owning or running a business. After all, if customers are put off by the dirt and grime covering your floors, they’ll be less inclined to do business with you. First impressions matter, and predictably, dirty floors can do a lot to ruin them and reflect a lack of effort and pride on your part.

While there are many different commercial flooring types and cleaning methods used in our industry, we are committed to using only the best and most effective eco-friendly methods that will get you the results you want. Let’s look at MilliCare and SaniGLAZE, two unique and revolutionary cleaning methods we use at Cubix, Inc.

Best Commercial Floor Cleaning Methods

MilliCare – Dry Carpet Care System

As an excellent eco-friendly carpet cleaning method, MilliCare will leave your commercial carpets feeling and looking cleaner than ever without the use of harmful chemicals or harsh products. 

MilliCare’s Dry Care cleaning process consists of diagnosis, pre-treatment and deep cleaning. In general, this system revolves around using a dry polymer to clean carpets, which not only gets them cleaner but also requires less dry time than traditional methods. As a result, businesses can get back to work sooner and enjoy a cleaner, healthier environment. This way, business owners won’t have to worry about locking up the office for hours while their carpets dry and can get back to business quickly.

  1. Diagnosis

The first step in the MilliCare dry carpet care system is a pre-inspection or diagnosis of the carpet. During this step, our technician will evaluate the condition of your carpet, identify any stains or problem areas, and determine the best course of action for cleaning.

  1. Pre-Treatment

Our technician will use a specialized vacuum to remove dry soil, dust, and other debris from the carpet. As basic as this sounds, this step is vital and shouldn’t be skipped because it helps to loosen and remove any dirt or debris that may be embedded in the fibers of the carpet. We then apply a pre-spray solution that will break down and loosen any dirt or contaminants still in the carpet.

  1. Deep Cleaning

Our technicians then apply the MilliCare dry polymer and use a special machine to agitate the pre-spray solution and MilliCare dry polymer combination into the carpet fibers. Once the MilliCare Dry polymer has had time to ABSORB the contaminates, they then extract the MilliCare dry polymer along with dirt and contaminants using a HEPA vacuum. The dirt or debris in the carpet will be removed at this point, leaving the carpet fibers neutral, clean, and fresh.

A benefit of MilliCare that stands out against other cleaning methods is a reduction in allergens which improves your indoor air quality. MilliCare doesn’t use any allergens or unsafe particles that may get in the air of your office. Instead, it removes these allergens, bacteria, and harmful particles in order to leave your floors clean and your air healthy. According to a John Hopkins study, HVAC and MilliCare can improve indoor air quality by up to 99%.

One of the most impressive aspects of MilliCare’s process is also its ability to leave the floor neutral. Most other cleaning processes leave behind up to 30% residue, but MilliCare’s process leaves the floor completely clean and free of any alkaline or acidic residues. 

Ultimately, the MilliCare dry carpet care system is a highly effective and eco-friendly method to clean commercial carpets. By using a dry polymer that encapsulates dirt and debris, the system removes more dirt than traditional hot water extraction methods while using significantly less water and energy. With this system, your carpets dry faster and stay cleaner longer, ultimately resulting in cost savings.

SaniGLAZE Process – Grout and Tile

SaniGLAZE is a restorative bonding process for grout and tile that removes impurities and prevents them from returning. The result of using SaniGLAZE is a long-lasting and non-porous coating that protects tile and grout surfaces and helps keep them clean. Let’s look at the SaniGLAZE process and its benefits:

  1. Surface Preparation

Starting with surface preparation, our technicians will remove any previously applied seals or finishes, as well as extract any surface dirt and contaminants. It’s crucial for our technicians to start on a clean surface so that the Grout Glazing Compound can bond effectively in later steps.

  1. Application and Curing

Now that the prep work is done, our technicians will apply the Grout Glazing Compound on the clean surface. This compound bonds to the existing grout, providing a non-porous coating that protects the grout from contamination. Once the Grout Glazing Compound has been applied, it needs time to cure. The curing process typically takes 24-48 hours, during which time the surface should not be exposed to water or other liquids.

  1. Post-Application

After the curing process is complete, our technicians will check the surface for any imperfections or areas that may require further touch-ups. We will ensure that the surface is uniform and free of defects.

Whether you have tile and grout that’s stained, damaged, or discolored, SaniGLAZE’s effective method can effectively restore your flooring’s appearance. It’s also worth noting that many tile and grout restoration methods require the removal of tiles or grout, which is extremely time-consuming and costly. Not only does SaniGLAZE not require this tedious step, but it also helps make the surfaces easier to clean and maintain.
