Southern Coast Janitorial provides professional floor cleaning and floor maintenance services for a wide range of surfaces, including terrazzo, hardwood, marble, and granite flooring. Our experienced team uses industry-approved cleaning methods and professional-grade equipment to help protect, restore, and maintain the appearance of your floors in both residential and commercial properties. Whether you need routine maintenance or specialized floor care, we deliver reliable service designed to keep your flooring clean, polished, and long-lasting.
Some of the floors we clean:
TERRAZO FLOORS
Terrazzo flooring is a durable and attractive surface made from a binder material such as cement or epoxy combined with aggregates like marble, granite, glass, or recycled materials. Known for its versatility, terrazzo floors can be finished with either a low-luster appearance or a high-gloss shine depending on the desired look for your residential or commercial space.
One of the major benefits of terrazzo flooring is its durability and relatively low maintenance requirements. To keep terrazzo floors looking clean and professional, regular care is essential. Daily sweeping helps remove dirt and debris that can wear down the surface over time, while weekly mopping with clean water and a neutral floor cleaner helps preserve the finish and maintain the floor’s appearance.
Professional floor care services can also help extend the life of terrazzo flooring by preventing buildup, staining, and long-term wear in high-traffic areas.
WOOD FLOORS
Wood flooring adds warmth, elegance, and value to both residential and commercial properties. Proper maintenance is important to protect the natural beauty and longevity of hardwood floors.
Wood floors can be finished using either wax-based products or top-coat finishes. Wax products combine sealers and stains that penetrate deep into the wood surface, while multiple coats of wax provide additional protection and enhance the floor’s appearance. Top-coat finishes create a protective layer over the surface of the wood to help guard against scratches, moisture, and everyday wear.
Routine sweeping and proper cleaning techniques are essential to maintaining wood floors and preventing damage caused by dirt and debris. Professional floor maintenance services can help preserve the finish and extend the lifespan of hardwood flooring in high-traffic environments.
MARBLE & GRANITE
Marble and granite flooring provide a timeless, high-end appearance that enhances the look of any home or commercial property. These natural stone surfaces are popular for their durability, elegance, and wide variety of colors and styles.
However, marble and granite floors require consistent maintenance to preserve their beauty and prevent dullness or surface damage. In high-traffic areas, regular dust mopping throughout the day is recommended to remove abrasive dirt and debris. Spot mopping with a neutral cleaner and non-abrasive materials also helps maintain the integrity of the stone.
Routine professional cleaning and floor maintenance can help protect marble and granite surfaces from staining, etching, and long-term wear. For heavily worn or neglected floors, professional restoration services such as sanding, polishing, and refinishing can restore natural shine and appearance.
Southern Coast Janitorial provides professional floor care solutions to help residential and commercial clients maintain beautiful, long-lasting stone flooring.
