Cleaning floors isn’t exactly tops on most
people’s to do lists. They rank right up there with bathrooms on most people’s,
“I really hate to clean this!” list. Cleaning floors proves especially
challenging for households that have multiple types of flooring throughout the
home, each require different methods of care. If you shudder whenever you see a
mop and bucket, never fear! The Art Van Clean Team has some handy tips that will make cleaning your floors a
breeze. And if the going gets really tough, know you can always call us in to
handle the mess for you!
Floor Care: Hardwood
Let’s
start with hardwood floors. When cleaned and
maintained correctly, hardwood floors add warmth and beauty to your décor. Keep
them looking their best by placing welcome mats not only outside of your front
door, but inside as well. Catch as much dirt as you can when people enter your
home, before it makes it to the surface of your lovely floors.
Keeping
mats at each of your entryways,
including the back door, garage, patio, etc., will decrease tracked in dirt,
which wreaks havoc on all floors, but especially hardwood.
In addition to your mats, protect your
hardwood by installing scratch/floor protectors on the legs of all your
furniture. These two tips reduce scratching and will help keep your hardwood
floors looking fantastic. To effectively
clean your hardwood, try Art Van Clean Team’s Wood Care Program. Spray
the cleaner onto a clean, lint-free damp mop and always wipe with the grain.
When your wood floors need a thorough
cleaning, remember to call Art Van
CleanTeam ; we can make your
hardwood floors look brand new again!
Floor Care: Carpet
Carpet looks and
feels wonderful, and makes the house feel warm and cozy. But there’s no doubt carpet is tough to clean.
Vacuuming alone doesn’t cut it,
especially when you think of everything that falls into your carpeting. If you
have children, pets, or a busy life, your carpet sees lots of action and needs thorough
attention to stay clean. Regular (weekly) vacuuming keeps carpets looking and
feeling luxurious. Better Homes and Gardens has a great free chart printable to have handy for carpet
stain removal. When you’re dealing with a carpet stain, the most important
thing to remember is to tackle the stain right away, and to call in
professionals when dealing with a large area or particularly tough stain. Art Van
Clean Team has a great carpet and stain fighting kit.
No matter how well
you keep up on vacuuming or stains, there’s no substitute for a professional
cleaning at least once a year. Many people don’t realize that a professional
clean is not just for stains. When you have any dirt in your carpet it grinds
the fibers and breaks down your carpet. A professional clean will not only keep
your carpet looking new it also ensures it will last many more years!

clean, but sand, and dirt can damage natural stone just like hardwood. Make

it. To clean you’ll want to wet/damp mop using Art Van Clean Team’s Multi-Surface Cleaning and Protection Kit.

with the best care, stone flooring becomes dull-looking with wear. Art Van
Clean Team can restore the
shine and life to any stone floor!
