Floor Care 101

The condition of your floors can have a major impact on the overall look and feel of your home. Fortunately, a floor cleaning company in Tampa can provide the professional carpet and tile cleaning services you need to keep your floors looking like new. Most carpets should be professionally cleaned every four to six months, while tile and grout should be professionally cleaned once a year. There’s also a lot you can do on your own to keep your floors looking great.

If you own carpet, perform regular vacuuming in high traffic areas and treat spills as soon as they occur. When cleaning spills on carpet, never rub the spill with a towel since this will only push the liquid deeper into the fibers; instead, blot spills with a towel to remove as much of the liquid as possible before spot cleaning. If you have tile floors, avoid acid-based cleaners or strong powders used for other household cleaning. A penetrating sealer can be used on a month to month basis to prevent grout from staining.
