Are you ready for warmer weather? With warmer temperatures come the need to freshen your home from being closed up all winter.
The Cleaning SuperHero will guide you through an organized plan for Spring Cleaning.
Begin by getting everyone involved. These tasks should be done weekly:
Dust all hard surfaces. This includes floors. (Microfiber works best dry. Even kids can do this)
Mop floors and vacuum carpet.
Scrub and disinfect kitchen sinks.
Wipe down appliances.
Clean shower. (Natural stone may require stone safe cleaners)
Counters should be cleaned and disinfected.
Scrub and clean bathtub.
Scrub and disinfect toilets.
Change and launder sheets.
There are many allergens and pollutants in your carpeting and upholstery that should be removed and spring is the best time to do just that. Carpeting and upholstery will collect much more that just dust and dirt. The fibers that are used in upholstery materials and rugs and carpets are a perfect breeding ground for dust mites, mildew, mold, fungi and other microorganisms that can all be serious allergens for everyone; especially for those who have particular sensitivities already.
Call the George Barnett, Cleaning Super Hero, at 205-856-1720 for carpet and upholstery cleaning that features the peroxide rinse to help make your home as fresh as the outdoor spring air.

The number 1 concern among homeowners with natural stone in their bath and shower area is removing soap scum and mildew. A soap film can become a problem within 6 months and mildew will begin as a result, causing mildew stains.
The Cleaning Superhero offers this tip:
In the bath or other wet areas, soap scum can be minimized by spraying a light mist of a stone safe cleaner and using a squeegee after each use. To remove soap scum, use a soap scum remover made specifically for natural stone. If soap scum and hard water deposits become difficult to remove, contact the Cleaning Superhero for a FREE evaluation and estimate on professional cleaning. Many of his repeat clients have their shower and bath area cleaned every 6 months to remove soap scum and have a mildew treatment applied. At the time of cleaning, it would be a good idea to have a stone sealer applied. Very important if the stone in the shower is slate.
Want to do it yourself? Call the Cleaning Superhero at 205-856-1720 to get the same concentrated soap scum remover, mildew treatment, and spray on cleaning product he uses for natural stone.
Stone Safe Soap Film / Scum Remover
Remember these easy tips for cleaning your marble, granite, or other natural stone counters, table tops, or vanities.
For daily cleaning in your kitchen, simply clean the surfaces with warm water and a clean microfiber cloth or when necessary use a stone cleaner to remove residues from cooking oils and everyday food spills. Use coasters or mats under glasses and cups especially if they contain alcohol, soda pop, or citrus juices. Trivets or mats should be put under your hot dishes or cook wear and place mats should go under china, ceramics, silver, or any other objects that may scratch the surface of your stone. In food preparation areas, your stone may need to be sealed with a good, impregnating sealer that is non-toxic and safe for your foods.
Vanities should also be cleaned with a stone safe cleaner to remove hairspray, cosmetics, perfume, toothpaste, mouthwash, etc., that contain acids and other ingredients that may damage the stone surface.
Natural stone should be sealed at least once a year with a quality impregnating sealer. Call the Cleaning Superhero (205) 856-1720 for a low cost estimate for sealing your marble, granite, limestone, travertine, or other natural stone.
Now you know what to do and what not do. What other precautions should be taken with natural stone? Here are more tips to add to your Natural Stone Owner’s Manual
Walk Off Mats and Rugs
Use good quality, dirt-trapping walk-off mats at all exterior doors to prevent dirt and sand (which can act like sandpaper) from entering your home. Normally, it will take a person about six to eight steps on a floor surface to remove sand or dirt from the bottom of their shoes. Use area rugs on high traffic pathways and pivot areas—at ends of steps, near doorways, etc. All rugs should allow floors to breathe. Avoid rubber-backed or non-ventilated rugs. Use no-slip rug underlayment made especially for hard surface flooring to prevent your rugs from moving.
Floor Protectors
Always put felt protective pads on the legs of your furniture. They allow the furniture to be moved easily without scratching or denting your floor’s finish and can also provide a sound deadening barrier. Replace your felt pads often as dirt and grit can become embedded in them or as they become worn.
Plants and Planters
Never place potted plants directly in contact with your stone flooring, even if they are placed in waterproof saucers. Condensation can develop under these saucers and damage your flooring. To avoid this place your plants on trivets or stands so that air can circulate underneath.
Remember, soil is acidic. When feeding plants be extra careful not to spill fertilizers onto natural stone surfaces.
You’ve designed the perfect natural stone look for your home and now that it’s installed, how do keep natural stone looking good for a long time?
The Cleaning Superhero will begin a series of blogs to help you with natural stone care tips.
Today, here is what to do and what not to do when maintaining natural stone.
DO use coasters under glasses, especially if they contain alcohol or citric juices and use trivets or mats under hot dishes and cookware.
DO dust mop floors frequently preferably with a microfiber dust mop.
DO clean surfaces with cleaners designated safe for natural stone.
DO thoroughly rinse and dry the surface after washing.
DO blot up spills immediately to minimize potential permanent damage.
DO protect floor surfaces with non-slip mats or area rugs.
DON’T use vinegar, lemon juice or any cleaners containing acids on marble, limestone, travertine or onyx surfaces.
DON’T use cleaners that contain acid such as bathroom cleaners, grout cleaners or tub & tile cleaners.
DON’T use abrasive cleaners such as dry or soft cleansers.
DON’T mix bleach and ammonia; this combination creates a toxic and lethal gas.
DON’T use a standard floor wax on your natural stone. It will only take away from the natural beauty of
the stone and could lead to more costly and constant maintenance. If you want a shine to your stone, have your stone professionally polished.
DO call us for any questions or problems that appear too difficult to treat
