CARPET, STONE AND WOOD FLOORING & FINE RUG CARE

Depending on the surface of your floor, you have different needs throughout your home. Our flooring specialists employ select techniques with the most advanced products and equipment available.

RUG AND CARPET CLEANING

There are many benefits to ensuring that your carpets are kept clean and in good condition. The aesthetic aspect is important to ensure that your carpets look as good as possible. A badly maintained carpet can ruin the look of the whole room, no matter how nice the rest of the decor is. A well kept, clean carpet can have the opposite effects, and can really make a difference to the room.

Perhaps the most important benefit of a clean carpet or rug is for your health. A great many people suffer from allergies and conditions such as asthma and eczema. A dusty, dirty carpet will throw up particles every time it is walked upon which can exacerbate such conditions. By keeping your carpets clean and free from debris, your indoor air quality is improved which can be very beneficial where general health is concerned.

Maintaining your carpet also protects your pocketbook. The right cleaning helps safeguard your carpet investment by keeping you from having to replace it before its time. The beauty and life of your carpet depends on the care it receives. Quality carpet that is well-maintained should last 10-15 years. Proper cleaning will keep it looking great for its full lifetime.

Our cleaners are experts in all types of rugs and carpets. Their methods vary by type of covering but range from hand cleaning to steam cleaning. Before any rug or carpet is cleaned, a spot-test is done on a small, inconspicuous area to ensure that the correct cleaning method is used. After that, the covering is vacuumed. Then, then most carpets are cleaned using steam so that all particles including dust mites are removed. Green, EPA-approved and biodegradable cleaning products are used throughout the process. In addition to the cleaning surface, our experts can apply carpet protectant to help your investment in cleaning your carpet last, keeping your carpet fresher, longer. This is the final recommended step in our thorough cleaning process.

We also provide stain removal service. Our stain removal methods are not only safe and effective, but reasonably priced as well. To be sure it's safe, we spot-test an inconspicuous area of your carpet before we begin. Only when you know it's safe do we begin the process of cleaning your entire carpet.

Over the years, your carpet is going to absorb odors. Every time someone takes a step, it pushes these odors into the air. Not only does your carpet and upholstery smell dusty and stale, but now your house does, too. And that's just the beginning. Cooking odors, Uncle Louie's cigars, and the family pet all leave odors of their own. Our experts utilize the latest technology to safely and effectively neutralize odors.

STONE AND TILE CLEANING

Everyday wear and tear removes the luster from your stone and tile floors. Terrazzo, Saltillo, Slate, Granite and Limestone are beautiful stones. Our experts know special techniques that can restore your natural stone. Your investment is maintained and protected.

We are able to clean:

• Tile and Grout
• Marble
• Granite
• Limestone
• Travertine
• Slate
• Sandstone & Flagstone
• Terra Cotta & Clay Products
• Concrete & Masonry

We recommend once a year cleaning. We use high pressure steam to dissolve and force the dirt out of the uneven texture of the tile and grout. For stone, cleaning products and techniques vary depending upon which material and the kind of finish you are looking for. We can remove scratches and enhance your floors. Then, we add protective sealants to keep out dirt and everyday wear and tear.

SLATE

Classified as a "rough" material with a low absorption, slate can be found both an interiors and exteriors, and rarely have a high polish unless a coating is placed on it. Slate can be a problem for its high content of clay, especially in wet areas, and can develop efflorescence easily. A good quality silicone impregnator sealer can protect the stone and generated more durability. A color enhanced can be applied also in this type of floor, to create a colorful look of the stone.

TERRAZO

The appearance of the terrazzo is more uniform than most natural stone, and is available in tile forms or by pouring application on the slab. Terrazzo is a mixture of Portland cement and Marble chips. These chips can range in size from a fraction of an inch to as large to several inches.

GRANITE

Granite is an extremely hard natural stone with low porosity, normally given a polished finish. Granite is formed by volcanic action, and is acid and scratch resistant as well. Granite paving is not usually treated; in this case waterproofing the material is recommended, especially if is laid in places such kitchens or bathrooms.

TRAVERTINE

Travertine is essentially limestone that has been formed in hot springs. Water movement caused the erosion of the stone creating numerous holes of varying sizes. A polished travertine will have its holes filled with color-matched Portland cement filler. These fillers do not take a high polish and therefore the overall polish tends to look blotchy.

FLAGSTONE

Flagstone is the term given to almost all-stone material cut into thin, irregular shapes. Found extensively on sidewalks, foyer entrance, pool decks, etc..., flagstone can be almost any material but is commonly the SANDSTONE type. Flagstone should not be ground and should only be cleaned and sealed.

WOOD FLOOR CARE

There are several benefits of wood floors. They are beautiful, durable and versatile. A wood floor can literally last and look gorgeous for centuries. Hardwood floors are also one of the easiest floor coverings to maintain. As long as there are mats at each entrance to trap dirt before it reaches your floors, the floors are swept regularly and the right cleaners are used for stains and spills, maintaining a hardwood floor is almost effortless.

Elements Group helps care for, clean and renovate your hardwood flooring in a variety of ways. We can clean and wax your floors, keeping them bright and beautiful. In addition, our experts have floor care systems that are completely dust free. You will not be cleaning up our dust months later as is the case with the sanding process. One particular system is odorless, non toxic and dries in about an hour. You can walk on the floor in your stockings at that time. Furniture may be moved back in 4 hours and rugs after 12 hours. After 24 hours, your new finish is hardened and ready for normal use.

Finally, if your wood floors need more extensive services, we can restore them through complete sanding, staining and refinishing. Our experts can restore all types of hardwoods to their original condition.

AIR DUCT CLEANING

On average, we spend about 90 percent of our time indoors. The air conditioning and ventilation system in your home can be a collection point for a variety of undesirable contaminants including dust, molds, fungus and bacteria. Some of these contaminants may contribute to allergies as the air is circulated through your system. It is estimated that on average the indoor air quality of most homes is actually worse than outdoor air quality. By cleaning your registers and returns once a year along with having your HVAC system regularly maintained, you can significantly improve your indoor air quality and reduce allergens and harmful bacteria that can make you and your family sick.

We recommend air duct cleaning at least once every 12-18 months. The frequency depends upon a number of factors including smoking, pets, water contamination or damage to the HVAC system or people that are particularly sensitive to allergens.

DUST & ALLERGEN REMEDIATION

Clean room technology borrowed from the computer industry is interwoven into our cleaning processes to significantly reduce fine particulate respiratory irritants. Areas of focus include walls, ceilings, wood trim, baseboards, cabinet exteriors, plant ledges, leather furniture, light fixtures, etc. In addition, HEPA (High Efficiency Particulate Air) scrubbing equipment will be used in your home to greatly enhance the final results.

MATTRESS DUST MITE TREATMENT

Dust mite treatment includes pressurized steam sterilization, application of non-toxic dust mite killer, and a final deep HEPA vacuuming. To prevent future infestation, the mattress is sealed in a high quality dust mite proof bag. This same treatment is also available for pillows.
