PROVIDED BY OUR STAFF
Our staff and extended family are trained and prepared to
successfully and
costeffectively repair, refurbish, refinish, restore, renew
or detail
clean any part of your facility ... from top to bottom.
CEILINGS
Fabric and composite ceilings can be cleaned with proper chemicals.
Complete masking of contiguous areas and use of throws to
cover
furnishings and flooring will protect the surroundings during
this service.
WALLS
Wood walls and millwork are cleaned with a special product
which will
remove soils without attacking the finish. If close-pore wood,
the
finish is hand-rubbed. If open-pore wood, the wood is treated
and
then hand-rubbed.Vinyl walls are cleaned with care not to
remove
the polished finish. Fabric walls are vacuumed and tested
before
cleaning to determine not only the type of fabric and the
best product
for successfully cleaning the fabric, but also to determine
the type
of gluing agent used to assure that the fabric remains affixed
to the wall.
Painted walls are gently spot-cleaned to avoid removal of
the painted
finish. New, flat latex wall paints are waterproof. Leather
walls
are cleaned, nourished and restored.
GLASS AND INTERIOR WINDOWS
Since frosted or etched glass, often used as an accent wall
or decorative
barrier, may be sand-blown or an applied vinyl overlay, the
chemical
application and use of special cloths may vary to protect
the finish
and properly remove accumulated soils.
KITCHENS AND PANTRIES
Detail cleaning and sanitizing of these areas, most frequently
visited by all
personnel, are required both inside and outside appliances,
cabinets,
drawers and trash receptacles. Walls require spot-cleaning
and vinyl
flooring necessitates stripping, flushing, waxing and polishing.
FURNISHINGS
Whether the finish is wood, laminate or marble, maintenance
and refurbishing
or refinishing are necessary to retain the image of a well-cared-for
facility.
Most services, even refinishing, are performed on site, however,
when the
damages require extensive repair and refinishing, off-site
services may be performed.
UPHOLSTERY
Fabric upholstery may call for dry cleaning (solvent solutions)
to protect
delicate finishes, or water-based cleaning with a special
tool that won’t
allow liquid to penetrate beyond the face fiber. Leathers
dry and crack from
the effects of heating and air conditioning. Cleaning, while
important,
is only half the job. The nourishing of all leathers should
be performed
no less than once per year. Leathers that are distressed from
extensive
wear can be refinished on site. Let’s not forget panel
partitions when
upholstery cleaning services are considered. Cleaned with
the same
sensitive equipment, the fabric on all modular furnishings
can be rehabilitated.
METAL FINISHES
Brass, chrome, and other metals appear in offices in door
knobs, push plates, banisters
and accent pieces. They can be polished and sealed for optimum
appearance.
If the protective coating has worn off and the finish shows
pitting, refinishing and
the application of a sealant will restore the metal to its
original appearance.
OFFICE ACCESSORIES
Computers, typewriters, telephones and other office equipment
require
detail cleaning and sanitizing. Oil paintings, lamps and lamp
shades,
wall hangings, blown glass sculptures and other objects d’art,
call for a
gentle cleaning technique with specialized chemicals, chemically
treated
sponges and cloths, for cleaning without damage.
FLOORING
Wood floors require refinishing to remove damage caused by
traffic patterns
and wear. Polyurethane floor sealants extend the life of wood,
and prolong
the period of time between refinishing, but these finishes
too, dull from
minute scratches due to wear. Polyurethane treated wood flooring
requires
sanding only when not maintained on a regular basis, thereby
removing
only the polyurethane protective sealant. The floor, looking
new, eliminates
the need for future refinishing. Made of granite, marble,
limestone or terrazzo,
stone ages and, therefore, requires ongoing maintenance. Scratches
from
wear dull the finish making the stone look worn. To return
the stone to its original
condition, a procedure called honing, performed with graduating
grit diamonds,
removes the scratches and returns the stone to a smooth matte
finish. Vinyl
flooring requires frequent scrubbing and periodic stripping,
flushing, waxing
and buffing. Burnishing equipment hardens and shines the finish
between
stripping and waxing services. Carpeted space and area rugs
are among the most
important decorative statements in the facility, presenting
warmth and aiding in
acoustics. Keeping the fibers in carpets and rugs clean, calls
for frequent
vacuuming and power pile lifting, to remove particulates that
wear the fiber.
Low moisture cleaning systems such as dry cleaning methods,
which depend on
solvents, are the safest techniques for long-term carpet care
and minimal carpet
damage. Anti-static protection is important during heating
months to protect
equipment sensitive to static shock. Soil retardant is helpful
in areas where soil
is exceptionally hard to remove. The retardant won’t
deter soiling, but will
seal the fiber so that the soil is not absorbed.
HOSPITALITY SERVICES
The Conference Center and well-appointed conference rooms
present the image
of the firm to the client. Sophisticated services including
setup, breakdown and
maintenance of an immaculate environment should be performed
by trained
technicians who understand both the nuances of discreet service
and are
proficient in performing professional cleaning.
