When it comes to maintaining a clean and healthy commercial environment, few things are more important than keeping your floors in good condition. Not only do dirty floors look unsightly, but they can also harbor contaminants that can negatively affect health and indoor air quality.
Before you just start cleaning your floors with any chemical, know that it’s crucial to choose eco-friendly methods that are effective and safe for your employees and customers. That’s why at Cubix, Inc, we are committed to using only eco-friendly commercial floor cleaning methods. Let’s look at MilliCare and SaniGLAZE, two unique and revolutionary methods that we use to keep commercial floors clean and healthy.
Our Eco Friendly Commercial Floor Cleaning Methods
MilliCare – Dry Carpet Care System
MilliCare is one of the most well-known eco-friendly carpet cleaning methods. As an excellent long-term solution, MilliCare will leave your commercial carpets feeling and looking cleaner than ever without the use of harmful chemicals or harsh products.
MilliCare is environmentally friendly in many different ways. For one, it uses less water. This, in turn, reduces energy costs and economizes water in an environmentally conscious manner. Compared to other methods, MilliCare uses 99% less water for one cleaning.
Another benefit of MilliCare 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%.
MilliCare dries quickly, which is important when you’re trying to run a business. With MilliCare, you won’t have to worry about locking up the office for hours while your carpets dry. Instead, you can get your carpets cleaned and continue about your business as usual shortly after the cleaning is completed.
One of the most impressive aspects of Millicare’s process is 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.
MilliCare’s process is also designed to be highly efficient. A four-man team can clean up to 40,000 square feet in a single night, making it an ideal choice for large commercial spaces. The process involves a 45-minute dwell time for contaminates to be adsorbed and the moisture to evaporate. A HEPA vacuum is then used to pull out the remaining contaminated polymer. This ensures that no detergents or contaminants like; pollen, pollutants, and dust mites are left behind in the carpet.
Finally, MilliCare’s process is highly customizable to meet the needs of individual clients. After an initial restorative cleaning, clients can determine their own cleaning budgets and schedules based on traffic patterns. High traffic areas should be cleaned four times per year, while medium and low traffic areas can be cleaned less frequently.
SaniGLAZE Restorative Bonding Process – Grout and Tile restoration
One of the unique things about SaniGLAZE is that it is a restorative bonding process that can be single/sole sourced and also has a GSA schedule. SaniGLAZE has a CEU approved program for Architects and Interior Designers. SaniGLAZE is not a cleaning process but a restoration process and should be compared to removal and replacement, and typically costs one-third less than removal and replacement. For example, replacing floors can cost up to $25 per square foot, while restoring a floor with SaniGLAZE costs only half this amount along with less down time.
The SaniGLAZE process involves cleaning the floor with prep detergents produced by SaniGLAZE. This process removes up to 90% of contaminants from the flooring. After cleaning, the floor is prepared with a chemical or mechanical process before the SaniGLAZE application begins. The depth and size of the groutlines determine the specific process used.
SaniGLAZE can also apply a modified polymer compound directly onto the existing grout to protect against contaminants. A top coat is then applied, with options for matte, satin, high gloss, and more which adds anti-microbial properties for added protection.
SaniGLAZE can even mix in an aggregate called texite added slip protection.
One of the most outstanding properties of SaniGLAZE is its ability to chemically bond to the grout like the roots of grass. This creates a skin layer that makes the grout and tile impervious to protect against contaminants and keeps the floor clean and healthy. Ultimately, SaniGLAZE is not a cosmetic fix but a health fix that can help even hospitals increase patient scores, pass inspections, and maintain sanitary conditions.
