Steam Mops… the latest craze in floor cleaning… but are what they are selling you really going to clean your tiles?

Everyone loves a tool that makes life easier.  If you can get a mop that can clean and leave no streaks it must be brilliant and if it can even clean honey off carpet?  I haven’t seen anything more ridiculous… that steam alone will clean your tiles…

Many calls are received into our head office at Murarrie are about customers having dirty grout.  When asking what they clean their tiles with, the most common answer is a steam mop.  No cleaning agents, just simply water or a drop of eucalyptus oil.

Common agents used with the steam mop such as vinegar, eucalyptus oil, methylated spirits or even just hot water will not clean your tiles.  Cleaning tiles with these products will cause dirt to be attracted to the grout, causing them to be come tacky and even staining the grout.

Avoid using high alkaline products on your tiles – many products from the supermarket are high alkaline products and if using too much will leave a residue and cause your tiles to resoil quickly.  Using a neutral pH cleaner that has high cleaning power, will do wonders.  By agitating the cleaning solution into the grout with a grout brush and then mopping over them will give the best clean and help maintain your grout and get the longest life out of your tiles.  All Aces Services offers tile and grout cleaning services with high pressure truck mount power and have them looking like new again.  Have a look at our tile cleaning video at www.allaces.com.au/tile-grout and see our process!

Plenty of cleaning options are also available at our factory at Murarrie.  Microfibre mops, neutral cleaner and grout brooms are also available.  Please call us on 1800 00 1010 or drop by to see us.  We are here to help you.

These days we are so busy with work, kids, pets and our day to day lives, we forget to maintain items within our home.

Having a proactive maintenance schedule for the home is a way to help prolong the life of your carpet, upholstery and rugs and make it a more safe and healthy environment.  Most times we won’t call to get our carpets done until they start to look dirty and there are traffic marks in the carpet.  Or unless something is spilled on the upholstery or there is change in colour to the leather, is when we call in the professionals.

It is recommended to clean your carpets and upholstery every 12-18 months.  By vacuuming regularly (at least once per week) this will remove any loose soiling or dust within the carpet fibres.  By not doing this, the soil alone in the carpet will cause damage and abrasion to the fibre and wear it down very quickly, making your carpets look worn and tired.  Maintaining your carpets and upholstery is very similar to maintaining your teeth.  Regular check-ups at the dentist with regular cleaning will incur small interval costs as opposed to a large cost for a root canal after 5 years of not maintaining your teeth.   By maintaining your carpet and upholstery with interval cleaning throughout the year will prolong the life of the fibre, which will save you money in the end.

Some of our clients book to have their carpets, leather or fabric upholstery cleaned every 6 months.  Some of these items are 8-10 years of age but look brand new! So there is certainly some benefit to maintaining these items regularly.

Besides the asthetic or monetery benefits, there is also the health benefits.  Our trained technicians can also offer information as to further treatments that are available, such as antimicrobial treatments.  This treatment is effective for bacteria caused from dirt buildup, pets, sweat or vomit.

Give us a call to book in a service , to get your home health checkup today!
