Tile and Grout Cleaning
BSI cleans bathrooms, kitchens, lobby areas, and other rooms that have tile and grout. By utilizing our high-pressure cleaning system, BSI cleans the grout so that it looks as good as the first day they were installed. Tile and grout surface gradually develop a build-up of dirt, grime, and soil that then harden and become extremely resistant to removal. Regular cleaning and mopping are no match for these hard to clean surfaces. Besides, mold can eventually develop on tiles and grout and may pose a health hazard. Our cleaning crew disinfects and removes dirt and bacteria from showers, tubs, floors, countertops, and all surfaces where tiles and grout have become both unsightly and unsanitary. Scrubbing won’t do the trick once dirt and germs have settled into the grout. Choose the cleaning experts to rid your home or office of the most difficult and potentially hazardous tile and grout residue; give Building Service Industries a call today.
Terrazzo Floor Cleaning
Terrazzo is a unique surface, primarily found as flooring, that traditionally contains marble chips of different sizes and colors held together with a cement base or, in newer applications, with a resin or epoxy base. Over time your Terrazzo floor may become dull from a build-up of dirt or from waxing (which should never be done) and require professional cleaning. BSI implements steps in cleaning and restoring Terrazzo flooring, which includes:
- Vacuuming the floor to remove any surface dirt, pet hair, or other debris.
- Grinding the floor- A machine is used that disperses water and grinds the floor by first using a rough grit, then medium grit, and then fine grit to clean and smooth the floor. This requires going over the floor three times removing the dirty water and reapplying fresh water each time the grit is changed.
- All holes or cracks in your flooring are patched to match the original floor. Once the mortar is dry a grinder is used to smooth the patched area to match the smoothness of the rest of the floor.
- Floors are then polished to a high shine.
- A sealant is applied that is made especially for the Terrazzo floor to help protect it from damage.
Marble Cleaning
Marble is a beautiful natural material that is available in many colors and patterns and may be installed in various locations; from floors to showers and countertops. Building Service Industries is available to restore all of your stone to its natural beauty and help you care for your stone properly to maximize its full potential and ensure the longevity of the finished material. Different marbles require different attention; from basic cleaning and sealing to a full restoration, we will help you determine what is best for your stone and service you need.
Your marble may need refinishing; is it too dull or too shiny? If you have a new floor with some tiles that look more glossy than others – let us even out the finish for you. BSI can deliver a beautifully restored or changed marble finish. Marble floors also have dull areas associated with wear patterns, scratches, etches, or spots that need honing to restore it. With our marble honing services, our expert technicians can achieve a honed or soft matte finish that is warm and inviting. Once the honing process is complete to overcome an uneven finish, dull spots, or etches we polish the marble. Using the appropriate polishing powders to restore the finish the way you would like it to look: matte, semi-gloss, or gloss finish.
Do you have chipped marble tiles, any cracks in your floor, or a broken tile? Before you replace the marble, you may want to consider first repairing it. BSI can fill holes in marble, fix marble cracks and chips, blending the repair site with the surrounding area, and honing and polishing it to match the finish on the rest of your marble floor, countertop, or other stone surfaces. If a replacement tile is needed because it is beyond repair then we will remove the affected tile without damaging the surrounding ones, reinstall the new tile, level the installed tile with the surrounding area, then match the finish as closely as possible.
The marble cleaning processes vary based on the surface condition and type of dirt or oil being removed. Marble is easier to keep clean with periodic professional deep cleaning services, using non-acidic, highly-effective cleaning solutions. Once your marble floors, showers, tub surrounds, walls, and other marble surfaces are cleaned and restored, we highly recommend you have us seal them to enhance their stain resistance. All stones (unless resined) are naturally porous. If left unsealed, there’s always a risk of spilling a colored or reactive liquid, discoloring your stone. While most stains can be removed, marble stain removal can be a time consuming, expensive, and often frustrating process. Sealing represents an inexpensive, preventative measure against marble stain damage.
