Before and After Cleaned and Sealed Slate

Slate in a shower / bath area can be a constant problem to clean. The picture shows the result of cleaning with a stone safe soap film remover. However the soap scum was there long enough to etch into this soft stone.

To help prevent greater problems with slate in showers, I would suggest regular sealing with a professional stone care product. As often as every 6 months after some serious cleaning with a stone safe soap film remover. This will make it easier to maintain.

The Cleaning Superhero can advise you about the best course to take when cleaning a slate shower or bath area.

The Cleaning Superhero is now making available a peroxide based cleaning solution for his residential and commercial clients.

You can see the solution boil as it begins to loosen soils, cleans away stains, and elminate allergens on furniture upholstery and in the carpet.

The Cleaning Superhero suggests that you do not attempt to clean furniture upholstery or carpeting with household peroxide. The product used is highly concentrated and for professional use.

Next time you light a scented candle be aware of how it will affect your home.

Most candles are made from oils that put out an almost invisible smoke containing the scent you smell. Your home’s heating and air systems distribute the oily smoke to all areas. The results appear over time. The walls will darken. The carpeting will look dirty because as it becomes an air filter around the walls and door frames. Furnishings will get a greasy film. You get the idea.

So what to do? If you must burn candles, choose the soy or beeswax based products. If the results of burning candles are starting to show, call on the Cleaning Superhero to begin reversing the damage before it becomes permanent and ruins the inside of your home.

Do it yourself tile and grout cleaning

The homeowner placed his home up for sale and needed to clean the kitchen tile and grout. Over the years, coatings had been applied to the tile to help make it shine and the applied finish yellowed. The result was a dirty looking coating all over the floor.

Before his real estate agent, Nancy, called the Cleaning Superhero for help to clean the flooring; this homeowner went down the do it yourself path indicated in the upper portion of the photo. He bought a rechargeable scrubbing brush and cans of powdered cleanser. For hours at at time, the floor would be coated with this cleanser and progress was very slow and only partially successful.

The Cleaning Superhero took over as the homeowner stated that it would only be several more hours and the floor would be ready. After only 45 minutes of proper cleaning the results were clear.

How to choose a cleaning service.

Can you even see what the service provider is really saying? Beware of the fine print.

Some things that could be in the agreement but are very hard to spot.

Customer agrees to pay more because their home is considered to be located in a high income area.
Customer agrees to allow services to be performed by whoever we send regardless of knowledge or experience.
Customer understands that employee background checks are performed but a few undesireables may get hired anyway.
Customer agrees that the price was low and should be completely satisfied regardless of cleaning results.
Customer recognizes that problems will be likely but since all cleaning services are the same, when we determine the job is finished, payment is due in full.
Now, if you disagree completely with the terms of the other guy’s agreement. I would say it’s time for us to talk about what you expect when the cleaning service is completed.

The Cleaning Superhero would rather you share a great cleaning experience from my services with only 1 person than tell 100 how horribly disappointed you are with bad cleaning services.
