Spruce Up for Spring!

Spring will be springing in a matter of a few weeks! Commercial facilities take a beating during the harsh winter months and an exterior deep cleaning procedure is a great solution for not only improving the appearance of the facility, but also for improving the health and safety of occupants and visitors.

Remove Contaminants with Ease

Built-up grime and dirt give a worn-down appearance to your commercial building. Exterior deep cleaning removes unwanted mess from the facade, masonry, concrete, and parking lots with environmentally friendly chemicals that will not harm landscaping. Removing dirt, broken-down paint, and mildew is easier and faster with this process.

Prevent Costly Repairs

Over time, the grime that builds up on the roof and sides of your building fence in moisture on the walls, causing growth of mildew and mold. Thus, scheduling regular exterior deep cleaning prevents rot and disintegration of your property in addition to eliminating biodegradable contaminants that can cause severe structure damage. It’s the best way to protect your building.

Promote a Healthy Environment

Your building’s exterior surfaces accumulate mildew, mold, and other bacteria that can be harmful to those working within it. If you are experiencing more sick days lately, it’s time to get your property deep cleaned by professionals. With their expert cleaning, pollutants clinging to the exteriors will be washed away. These elements cause health problems like respiratory issues and allergies. Regular deep cleaning services will help in preventing them.

Increase Your Building’s Value

If your facility is for sale, an exterior deep cleaning will make it sparkle with clean surfaces. Needless to say, a well-cleaned building attracts more eyes than a filthy façade. Whether your building is in a high-end neighborhood or a low-income area, good washing will definitely make it stand out and create the right impression.

Protect Against Injury

Professional cleaning of your building’s exterior can also prevent slips and falls which are among the most common workplace accidents. Deep cleaning your sidewalks, walkways, and parking areas can get rid of grease, mold, and other substances that are potentially dangerous to your employees as people may slip on it.

Clean exteriors increases the visibility of your facility, decreases erosion from Mother Nature, enhances curb appeal and improves health and safety. You only get one chance to make a first impression, and an aesthetically pleasing building does just that. For more information, contact KC Restoration today!

All About Hot Pressure Washing

Maintaining the exterior of a building can pay off in more way than one. With regular maintenance, thorough cleaning and strategic repairs, you can add years to the life of your building, keep tenants happy and prevent more costly damage. Attract current and potential tenants with a hot pressure washing program.

Whether it’s your building’s walls, the sidewalk out front or the parking area, you’re competing with a number of environmental factors to present a clean, professional building. Oil, mold, pollution, dirt, gum, spray paint and efflorescence can all make your building look dirty or old.

Hot pressure washers work by using water heated to 200 degrees Fahrenheit and a pump which forces the water through a constrictor nozzle. Hot water pressure washers have the ability to produce steam which is ideal to get surfaces spotless to the point where they’re germ free. How? The hotter the temperature, the lower the surface tension of water. Hot water contains fast moving, or excited, particles. This means the molecules spread apart, making it easier to expand and then loosen a stain, cut through grease and effectively kill bacteria and microorganisms.

Hot pressure washing is gentler than physically scrubbing the building surface, so materials like wood, brick, and paint experience less wear when they are cleaned. For this reason, you’ll be able to go longer without having to repair or resurface the building exterior.

Hot pressure washing on a regular basis is will keep your exteriors clean, healthy and maintain a professional image. By removing mold, algae and dirt, hot power washing also allows your building to last as long as possible. Hot power washing prevents the elements that lead to rot, deterioration and other damage that would require expensive repairs.

Caring for Your Stone Floors: The Do’s and Don’ts

 

The natural stone you have in your home, office, or commercial building is an investment that will give you many years of beautiful service. Simple care and maintenance will help preserve your stone’s beauty for generations to come.  When discussing care and cleaning procedures with your maintenance staff, there are recommended do’s
and don’ts that should always be followed.

The Do’s

  • Do dust mop floors frequently.
  • Do clean surfaces with mild detergent or stone soap.
  • Do thoroughly rinse and dry the surface with clean, clear water after washing.
  • Do blot up spills immediately.
  • Do protect floor surfaces with non-slip mats or area rugs.

The Dont’s

  • Don’t use vinegar, lemon juice, or other cleaners containing acids on marble, limestone, travertine, or onyx
    surfaces.
  • Don’t use cleaners that contain acid such as bathroom cleaners, grout cleaners, or tub & tile cleaners.
  • Don’t use abrasive cleaners such as dry cleansers or soft cleansers.
  • Don’t mix bleach and ammonia; this combination creates a toxic and lethal gas.
  • Don’t ever mix chemicals together unless directions specifically instruct you to do so.
  • Don’t use vacuum cleaners that are worn. The metal or plastic attachments or the wheels may scratch the
    stone’s surface.

These are just a few tips for cleaning.  For more information on how to maintain or restore the natural stone in your building, contact KC Restoration today!
