Floor Care (Seal & Wax)
The right solution for every type of flooring
The team at Southern Janitorial Services is experienced in caring for all types of flooring.
Here’s what we offer:
TERRAZO FLOORS
Terrazzo is a binder material such as cement or epoxy, with an aggregate such as marble, granite, plastic, or glass. Terrazzo floors have rich, low-luster finishes or high-gloss shines depending on your preference.
Terrazzo floors are relatively easy to maintain. Experts recommend daily sweeping and weekly mopping using neutral cleaner and clean water.
WOOD FLOORS
You can use wax or top-coat only products to finish wood floors.
Wax products are a combination of sealers and stains, which penetrate the wood. Several coats of wax protect the sealers and stains.
Top-coat products provide a thin layer of finish over the top of the wood to protect it.
MARBLE & GRANITE
Beautiful natural stone flooring can make any space look sleek and sophisticated. This unique flooring option is becoming very popular thanks to the wide range of colors and styles that are available, says Danny Boyd, regional sales manager of Georgia Marble Co, in Tate, Georgia.
But granite and marble flooring is very high maintenance. You’ll need to clean your floors frequently to keep it in good shape and looking its best.
To keep your marble and granite floors looking great, Boyd recommends dust mopping at least two or three times a day in high traffic areas. Also, spot mop using a rayon mop head. Boyd also suggests applying a coat of finish. Each night, auto-scrub with a white pad and a neutral cleaner.
Dull marble floors can get restored to their original beauty, even after years of neglect. Southern Coast Janitorial recommends calling a marble contractor to handle any intense restoration job. Sanding and refinishing will cost about $3.50 per foot.
