Upholstery, Carpet Cleaning and Protectant From The Steam Team

Bonita Springs Carpet Cleaning

Upholstery cleaning is a very different process from most types of cleaning that take place in a home or business, especially since there are many different kinds of upholstery that require different methods to clean. And when you’re cleaning something that people will be sitting on every day, you want to make sure it’s done right. Let’s talk about how calling TST Cleaning & Restoration in Bonita Springs can help you get the job done right.

Specific Upholstery Methods

Technicians from TST CLEANING RESTORATION of Bonita Springs Florida take great care in providing customers with exactly what they need for the job, starting with recommending only the most appropriate cleaning method for your specific type of upholstery. Then, to be absolutely sure that we’re providing the best service we can to meet your needs, our technicians will test the cleaning method on a small area of the upholstery for you to see and make sure you approve. If the upholstery is easy to clean, our prices will be lower to match. Higher-end upholstery may require a more expensive cleaning method.

Powerful Fabric Protectant

Once our technicians finish with the basic cleaning, they may recommend a fabric protectant. This highly powerful protectant will save you more money in the long run. Over time, spills, pets and children will wear down your upholstery and soon you’ll have to have it cleaned again or even replaced, but not if we apply a fabric protectant. The protectant will easily resist anything that might dull your upholstery over time.

TST Cleaning & Restoration Leather Cleaning

Our technicians even come prepared for leather upholstery. They’ll carefully and properly clean the leather, removing all dirt and grime, and replenish the natural oils that help keep the leather in good condition. We’ll bring your leather back to the sleek shine it used to have in no time.

Steam Cleaning: Is It Useful For Flooring Besides Carpet?

Carpet Cleaning Bonita Springs Florida

You might have heard about the magic of steam cleaners, or maybe you’ve even used one on your own carpet. They’re one of the best methods of deep cleaning a carpet that you could possibly use. But what about the other types of flooring in your house? Will a steam cleaner be just as effective?

Ceramic Tile

As it turns out, if you’re only using steam cleaners on carpet, you’re not seeing their full potential! Steam cleaners are actually one of the best things to use for cleaning a ceramic floor. The high pressure steam strips the floor of residue and chemicals left over by other household cleaning products. If you have any pets or children that spend a lot of time on the floor, it’s very important to keep these harmful chemicals off of your tile. To use a steam cleaner on a ceramic floor, first do a thorough sweep of the floor to pick up all the larger pieces of dirt and debris. Then just add the water, place the microfiber cleaning cloth on the unit’s cleaner head, plug the machine in, and you’re ready to go!

Hardwood Floors

Now moving onto hardwood floors, which doesn’t have as clear an answer is ceramic tile. It depends very much on what kind of steam cleaner you get, as well as the condition of your floor. If you are going to steam clean your hardwood, make sure to only purchase a steam cleaner that is advertised to be used on hardwood. Then, you will notice that there is a warning on the steam cleaner that says to only use it on floors that have been properly sealed. To test the seal on your floor, place a drop of water on it. If it is immediately up, then the seal is intact and your floor can withstand the steam. If the water spreads out or sinks into the wood, DO NOT attempt to use a steam cleaner on your floor.

Steam Team Professionals

If you want your carpet, ceramic tile, hardwood floor or some other surface to be steam cleaned, you don’t have to do it yourself! You’ll find that these powerful machines  do their best cleaning in the hands of highly trained experts, like our Steam Team technicians.

A quick guide to battling water damage

water damage

The most common disaster to occur in any home is water damage- and, in most cases, water damage brings mold into the home. There are several preventive measures you can take to avoid flooding and mold growth and we’re here to help you out! Today, we’ve put together this quick guide to preventing and avoiding water damage.

Water Damage Prevention

First and foremost, keep a close eye on your water bill. If it seems to be unusually high and you know you haven't been using excessive amounts of water, you most likely have a leak somewhere in your home. That’s when it’s time to call in The Steam Team for an inspection and see if we can’t get those leaks fixed before flooding occurs. 

Keep roof gutters clean. Cleaning your gutters every few months is essential. If gutters become clogged then backed up water on the roof could eventually leak through and cause water damage in your home.

Get a drain snake. Many people dump chemicals down their drains to keep them clear. While keeping drains clear is important, you may be unaware that these chemicals are causing damage to your pipes until it’s too late, and a leak has occurred. Using a drain snake is a safer method.

Mold Growth Prevention

All that mold needs to grow is water and darkness. To prevent mold growth after water damage, make sure to remove any water you find as quickly as possible. If carpet has been soaked due to flooding, use high-powered fans to dry it out. Sanitize all flooring with a steam cleaner and sanitize walls with soap and water.

Steam Team Restoration

If water damage or mold growth has occurred in your home, you don’t have to face it alone. The Steam Team offers a full cleaning and restoration service to anyone in the Austin area. For more information, visit The Steam Team website.

Should You Rent A Carpet Cleaner?

When it comes to steam cleaning, many homeowners think of investing in their own or even renting one for a small job. While retail storefronts have made this increasingly available, there’s a big difference in the machines you might be able to rent and the machines professionals are able to use. Have you ever thought about whether you should rent a steam cleaner? Keep reading if you want to know the answer!

The Benefits

There are numerous benefits from steam cleaning. 

The process of steam cleaning kills 99.99% of bacteria without the use of the toxic chemicals found in common cleaners (bleach, ammonia, etc.). The only ingredients are heat and water.

Steam cleaning poses no threat to children or pets that may be in the home, due to it’s non-toxic nature.

Steam cleaning only uses water and heat, meaning it won’t aggravate anyone’s allergies or asthma.

When mold grows anywhere in the home, particularly the bathroom, it can contaminate the air and cause several health problems. Steam cleaning, unlike bleach, actually kills the mold. Bleach only makes the mold blend in with the white surfaces.

Rental Advice

Given the benefits listed above, you’re likely considering a steam cleaner for your next big job. But what’s the best way to go about renting this equipment? Here’s our advice:

Rent from a company that is known throughout your local area for having great customer service and some of the best deals around. If fire or water damage restoration is the reason for your equipment rental, find the company with the real experts on those topics. For customers without the capabilities to execute such jobs, The Steam Team offers a full line of high-powered steam cleaning and drying equipment for rental purposes.

A Better Look For Less

An ordinary concrete slab might look a little dull, but when you have your concrete professionally stained, it’s able to take on a myriad of appearances. You can make your concrete flooring look just like wood, marble, stone or even leather. And the best part about it is, concrete flooring and staining still costs less than those other flooring options, so you’re getting the same luxurious look for a fraction of the cost!

Easy To Maintain

Not only is concrete flooring and staining easier on your wallet, but it’s also easier to maintain. Unlike other flooring options, the stain on concrete will not chip, fade, or peel over time. Stained concrete floors also require very little cleaning and upkeep to stay in great condition. The only maintenance you’ll have to worry about is occasionally cleaning with a damp mop. Because of all of this, stained concrete flooring is the longest lasting flooring option there is!
