San Antonio Tile Cleaning

As we covered previously, if you try to clean tiles in your house yourself, you may have to invest in different types of cleaners. Granite needs a different cleaner than any ceramic tile.
Tiles with texture may need special care while handmade tiles need that special touch. Natural stone flooring needs a completely different treatment than porcelain tile walls. Professional tile cleaning services arrive with the all necessary cleaners to do a good job. They know what cleaners work best on what types of tiles. The final result is deep clean that may not damage the tile.

Extend The Life Of The Grout And Tile With Professional Tile Cleaning

Tiles have a special glazing on them which keeps them gleaming and also prevents all kinds of dirt from penetrating their surface, causing them to change their color and look dirty. Lingering dirt on tiles can also lead to scratches and stains, while spills can directly affect the durability and appearance of the grout, and in extreme cases may even cause tile displacement. Regular grout and tile cleaning can protect the glazing, help you notice any signs of deterioration and extends your tile floors’ lifespan.
Maintains The Value Of Your Home’s Finishes
Routine tile cleaning can keep the surface as clean as the day it was first installed, which helps in preserving its value.
Gets The Job Done Quickly
Professionals have access to the necessary equipment and cleaning agents and can do the job in a very short period of time. You may be playing with your kids or doing something else while the job gets done. That is time when efficiency is at its best!
Is Time And Cost-Effective
Cost of equipment and cleaners adds up quickly. In addition, there is also a cost of time you may have to put in to clean the grout and tiles yourself. Paying a good professional to do it instead is definitely a wise investment of both money and time.
Conclusion
To maintain your house effectively, you need to set up processes and systems that you can trust. When you let your personal spaces “get out of control”, you may feel depressed and anxious. Get your grout and tile cleaned professionally on a regular basis, and you’ll feel more in control of your home and life.

Natural Stone Care and Types of Stone Part 1

Natural stone care is a way of protecting your investment. After all, regardless of what type of natural stone you have, it is an investment...

Natural Stone Care and Calcium Based Stone

What do travertine, marble, and limestone have in common? Well, other than the fact that they're natural stone, they're also all calcium based stone. As such, they require different care than stone such as slate. How different? Well, did you know that if you pour anything acidic on calcium based stone such as orange juice, coffee, vinegar, or wine it can eat away at the stone? It's true. What's more, it can stain.

Marble is elegant, beautiful, but surprisingly prone to damage from acid, travertine is too. Look at Rome for example. The city had to spend millions in refurbishing the many fine works of marble that had eroded due to acid rain. A stone restoration service in San Antonio would be able to bring back your stone to whatever polish level you want, even sometimes in the event of a spill.

Natural Stone Care: Know What Your Stone Needs First

Slate and sandstone are different from each other and thus require very different care from each other. Terracotta and terrazzo sound very similar to each other, but also require different levels of attention. Slate and sandstone for example do well by grinding, but if you tried that on terracotta and terrazzo, you would end up damaging your floor. It's also not the best idea to mop sandstone, because it would be likely to retain any stains from dirty mop water. Sandstone is incredibly porous. A stone cleaning service would be able to clean your sandstone and seal it against spills as well. As you see, stone types are very different from one another. Make sure you know what you're doing, or you could run the risk of damaging your stone. There is however, a better strategy. You may wish to think about calling in a natural stone care service instead.
