Change the Look of Your Home or Patio with Concrete Staining

Concrete Floor Cleaning 

Concrete flooring has become a popular alternative to carpet and hardwood among homeowners. Perhaps this is due to carpet’s vulnerability- in some cases, stains are too much to hassle with, or carpet in general can be too difficult to maintain. Concrete staining is a simple, easy process, and the results are stunning! Click here for more information. 

The Pro’s of Concrete Staining

Besides its simplicity, there are several pro’s to staining interior or exterior concrete flooring. It’s extremely customizable, as the stain is available in several different colors and shades. You can even match your patio with its furniture or the siding of your home! And inside the house, you can match your choice of concrete stain with the living room drapes, furniture, or wall color.

Another obvious advantage is the ability to completely remodel your outside patio in a simple, cost-effective manner, and that it’s so simple to clean!

All About Marble Polishing

Marble and Stone Cleaning

Perhaps the home you desire represents your personality, embodies your family core values, and welcomes your loved ones with open arms. When it comes to picking out the perfect materials to create this very atmosphere, options are plentiful. Do you dream of cozy wood floors or plush carpets? Dazzling tile, or stunning natural wood? While the choices seem endless, there’s one material that stands out amongst its competition: Marble.

Marble is a natural material formed from crystallized limestone. It is used in flooring, countertops, walls, columns, vanities, and more. It’s gorgeous, modern, and luxurious; one of the few downsides to installing marble is that it’s not as easy to clean and maintain as other materials.

Marble’s components make it extremely sensitive to acid and cleaning products. In addition to this marble is susceptible to scratches. Over time, it loses its luster and becomes dingy or scratched.

When cleaning marble tile or flooring, avoid cleaners which use bleach, lemon, or vinegar. Instead, you can try a mixture of warm water and diluted dish soap. This homemade mixture is both cost-efficient and gentle on the marble’s sensitive surface.

If you set out to use an all-purpose cleaner, remember to dilute with water, and to also check the label on the bottle! Make sure the label specifically states that the solution is safe to use on marble.

Though it can be difficult to care for, we encourage you to allow your dream of marble flooring and columns to flourish! This is easier done alongside the professionals. The Steam Team’s expertise and professional-grade equipment are no match for the scratches, blemishes, and flaws in your marble. It’s not just carpet, tile, and hardwood that we specialize in. We’re happy to inspect your marble floorings and restore them to their dazzling condition!
