In the first part of our series, we discussed the importance of power washing, window washing, and carpet hot water extraction. Now, let’s dive into three more critical deep cleaning tasks that can significantly enhance the cleanliness and appeal of your facility: stripping and waxing VCT flooring, upholstery cleaning, and parking lot cleanup.
Because of its durability and cost effectiveness, vinyl composition tile (VCT) flooring is a popular flooring choice for many large facilities. Churches, hospitals, medical facilities, educational facilities, and office buildings frequently select this flooring type. With time and foot traffic, the wax coating that protects the tiles can wear down, leading to a dull appearance and increased susceptibility to stains and damage. Stripping and waxing are essential deep cleaning processes that restore the floor’s shine and durability.
Stripping involves removing the old layers of wax and any embedded dirt, while waxing applies a fresh coat of protective finish. This not only enhances the floor’s appearance but also makes daily cleaning more effective. Regular janitorial services can keep VCT floors clean on the surface, but periodic stripping and waxing are necessary to maintain their long-term look and function.
Office chairs, couches, and other upholstered furniture see a lot of use and can harbor dust, allergens, and stains. Regular vacuuming and spot cleaning by your janitorial team help, but they can’t fully address deep-seated dirt and grime. Professional upholstery cleaning uses specialized equipment and cleaning solutions to extract dirt, remove stains, and sanitize the fabric, extending the life of your furniture.
Last but not least, we wanted to talk about parking lot cleanup. While you may not have considered this, your parking lot is actually the “welcome mat” for your facility. It’s the first thing people see when the arrive and the last thing they see before they go. It matters what this space looks like! While we are including parking lot cleanup here in this “deep cleaning” list, this is actually something that should be scheduled with more frequency than annually. Talk with your Sonlight Cleaning care specialist to determine the proper cleaning frequency for your building.
All the services on this list are of course in compliment to our daily janitorial services of your mid sized to large facility. The Dallas Fort Worth metroplex offers an array of cleaning companies to work with; we’re thankful that you choose Sonlight Cleaning Services for your daily and specialty cleaning care services.
