Don't Make These Mistakes With Your Marble Surfaces

Commercial Lobby Marble Floor Cleaning

We know homeowners love their marble countertops, floors, vanities, columns or other marble surfaces. For this reason, there’s an ongoing search for many homeowners to find the best methods and products to care for their marble. If you have marble in your home and have been on this search yourself, we might have exactly what you’re looking for!

Avoid Most DIY Methods

Far too many homeowners make the mistake of trying to clean their own marble surfaces with DIY approaches, using the wrong methods or products that end up doing more damage than good. That’s because marble is a porous and sensitive surface, especially to acidic products, like many common house cleaners. Marble is also softer than most stone, making it more susceptible to scratching and dulling if scrubbed too hard or cleaned with the wrong material.

Since most generic cleaners, DIY approaches and common cleaning practices might be bad for your marble, it’s always better to leave intensive cleaning in the hands of a professional or team of trained technicians. That’s where we come in.

Does your carpet need replace with tile in Austin Texas?

Unfortunately, our beautiful, plush carpet doesn’t last forever! Carpet can last about 10-15 years, depending on its condition. Eventually cleaning doesn’t do it justice, and carpet needs replacing. We’re here to tell you when that might be! What should you look out for? And what should you keep in mind?

Lost Texture

Is your carpet becoming matted down? Of course, some loss in texture is normal, with pets, children, and regular wear and tear. But over time, the carpet may not look or feel as plush and comfy as it once was.

Tears and Rips

Carpet that’s tearing is a good sign that it needs to be replaced. Some tears can be repaired, but some are, well, beyond repair. Tears often start appearing in corners, or in the middle of the door between two rooms. Catch them before they get too bad!̧

Loss of Color

Another reason to replace your old carpet is color loss. It's just not aesthetically pleasing! You can prevent color loss by preventing spills and stains, and also by keeping your carpet out of direct sunlight; sunlight easily causes carpet to fade and discolor.

Persistent Odors

Sorry pet owners, but pet urine is often the cause of carpet replacing. It seeps through the carpet, into the padding, and even into the walls if not treated in a timely manner. Steam cleaning is the best option for removing pet odors, but if it’s not doing the job, it may be time for a replacement.

Persistent Stains

And lastly, if you have persistent, unsightly stains, replacing your carpet may be the best option! But first, try steam cleaning; The Steam Team is well known for ridding carpet of persistent stains, preventing you from having to replace everything.
