ServiceMaster Commercial Cleaning provide commercial tile cleaning services in Rochester, MN

Tile and hard surface flooring in your business can be as important as the lighting, doors, or the rest of the structural features of the facility. It’s what your employees work on, whether walking or standing, 52 weeks a year. They are constantly exposed to whatever is under them; whether it’s a clean surface, or contains grit, grime, grease and soil that can cause slips and falls, or organic material that can help spread odor and bacteria. That hard surface may be stone, marble, concrete, wood, or ceramic or other types of tile, or vinyl flooring. To get it truly clean and keep it that way, turn to ServiceMaster Commercial Cleaning for expert tile cleaning in Rochester, Zumbrota, Stewartville, or Kasson, Minnesota, and surrounding communities.

The state of your tile and the surrounding grout impacts more than just the safety and well-being of your employees. It makes a statement about your business and service to your customers and clients. You don’t want a customer to slip or to feel grit beneath his or her feet as they walk through your facility. Nor do you want them to see discolored tile or grimy grout when they are in your hallways, break areas, or, especially, the restrooms. A noted businessman once told an audience that before closing any deal with a business, he would break away from negotiations to go to the restroom. The cleanliness of that facility, including the tile floor and walls, was an indicator of the business savvy of the people he was dealing with.

Pressure from foot traffic and exposure to caustic chemicals or abrasions from objects can wear away the sealants on the grout or tile of your floors. That can allow the stains and bacteria to seep into the surfaces and be absorbed into the grout. This manifests as unpleasant odors or unsightly marks to your customers. Keep your employees and customers free from bacteria and other unsafe conditions. Contact ServiceMaster Commercial Cleaning today for a professional and thorough tile and grout cleaning of your business in Rochester, Stewartville, Zumbrota, Kasson, or surrounding areas.

ServiceMaster Commercial Cleaning provides Rochester, MN grout cleaning, tile cleaning, floor cleaning, and more!

One of the most common traps for dirt, grime and bacteria in commercial kitchens, bathrooms and laboratories is the tile floor and the grout between the tiles. The older the grout or the floor, the more likely it is to be susceptible to cracks or pits that can trap contaminants. Many of the older grouts were more porous which allows more microscopic material to seep in. Professional commercial cleaning with the latest methods to reach the  trapped and embedded materials will keep your customers, clients and employees safe from bacteria-borne illness. ServiceMaster Commercial Cleaning provides commercial cleaning, floor cleaning, and more in Rochester, MN to keep your space safe!

With some strains of bacteria becoming more resistant than ever, it’s imperative to keep tile and grout clean and properly sanitized. Recent studies have shown as many as 19 varieties of bacteria can show up on tile floors. The range of illnesses requires a list:

Staphylococci is well known in hospitals and clinics. As many as one in five persons may be a carrier, helping it infect respiratory systems and urinary tracts.

Streptococci causes strep throat. It spreads quickly in educational settings, from person to person.

E-coli is better known as a food contaminant, but can also end up on tile floors from food droppings during meal preparation or from fecal matter in a restroom.

Campylobacter is yet another fecal matter bacteria that results in diarrhea.

Because the grout is recessed, it’s harder to reach and remove the dirt with a simple cursory wipe or mopping. If the sealant is worn off the grout, it’s even harder to keep clean. If you have smaller tiles, there are even more grouted surfaces (surface area) that require proper grout cleaning and tile cleaning.

Make sure your place of business is safe and not a public health liability. Let ServiceMaster Commercial Cleaning expertly clean and sanitize your hard surface floors, tile and grout. Call us today for Rochester, MN tile cleaning, grout cleaning, and more!

Office Carpet Cleaning in Rochester MN by ServiceMaster Commercial Cleaning

No matter what your business, carpet stains aren’t the kind of advertising you want for your clients and customers. But the nature of your business may mean that your floor covering may need frequent or specialized carpet cleaning. Your regular custodian may not be present when some of the toughest spills or stains occur, and your regular staff may be too busy with customers to try to clean up spills. When stains set into your carpet, call ServiceMaster Commercial Cleaning in Rochester for friendly and professional carpet cleaning.

To make matters worse, if some stains aren’t treated immediately, they’re harder to clean once they’ve dried. In a medical office, bloodstains on carpeting should be spraying with very cold water and dabbed or blotted from the carpet fibers. People may become ill anywhere these days and the continuing flu season makes it worse. Clean up residue physically and then try a combination of liquid soap, water and baking soda or an enzyme cleaner.

In restaurants or reception areas, you may be dealing with food or red wine stains. Any kind of organic product can leave lasting damage to carpets because of acids or dark pigmentation. Red wine should be sopped up with paper towels and diluted with water or club soda and absorbed repeatedly until it is gone. Always blot, never rub. For foods prepared with meat sauces or curry, try to dilute it with a spray of water, absorb up as much as possible and use a combination of soap, water and vinegar, or a diluted solution of hydrogen peroxide followed by a soap solution. Over-the-counter carpet sprays may work, but you may also have to work with what’s on hand.

Let’s face it, carpet cleaning is not everyone’s forte, and no matter how hard you try, some stains will persist. And why risk making a stain worse or permanent? For those tough stains and for the best in commercial carpet cleaning in Rochester, MN, contact us today. ServiceMaster Commercial Cleaning will take care of it once and for all and leave you with confidence that your customers will be impressed and comfortable in their surroundings.
