The first question you should ask any company that wants to polish your granite counters is, “Are you polishing my granite or are you polishing wax into my granite?”

Most companies are not equipped or educated to work on granite. The only method they know is waxing to make a shine. Waxes = Fake Shine. It does not last and can only get worse over time. You can think of it as waxing a surfboard rather than a car. It collects dirt & debris, wears unevenly, and smudges.

The proper technique to polishing granite is mechanically with the use of abrasives and plain water. Granite is harder than calcite based stones such as marble, limestone, and travertine. Therefore, more physical effort is needed. Heat, psi, and rpm along with the proper abrasives and machinery can attain a natural high polished shine that will last forever with the proper maintenance which is very easy and inexpensive.

In addition to polishing, the surface has been sealed. Though, this granite does not stain easily, the sealer helps create a higher surface tension. This allows water to dry on the surface with little penetration into the stone. This helps maintain the shine on a very busy kitchen counter.

If your granite is in need of being polished, please feel free to contact us

Having Issues With Your Travertine? Don’t despair!

If the sight of your travertine floors or shower walls is giving you the blues, professional restoration services can brighten your day. Travertine can be cleaned, repaired and restored to like new, for much less than the cost of replacement.

Cleaning

If all the mopping in the world won’t clean your travertine floors or you scrub and scrub the shower and unsightly soap film won’t go away, it’s time for a professional cleaning. With deep cleaning processes, years of imbedded dirt, grime and film can be removed. You will be amazed how clean your travertine will look and feel.

Travertine Repairs

Travertine has pitted holes and troughs by nature. Floor tiles generally come with these holes filled, but sometimes the fillers pop out leaving the holes exposed that become dirt collectors. As a professional stone restoration service, we can fill these holes, leaving your floors with a smoother, cleaner finish. Cracks or chips? We can make most of them virtually invisible.

Travertine Honing & Polishing

Have your dull and lifeless travertine floors got you down? It could be due to etching and scratches. A professional honing and polishing will uncover the beauty of your stone that is lying there just beneath the damaged surface and have you smiling again in no time. The finish on your travertine can be changed from a glossy shine to a satin and matte finish, or vice versa.

Sealing and Color Enhancing Travertine

Sealing fills the pores of your travertine and the fillers to inhibit spills from penetrating and causing stains. But not all travertine needs sealing. Let us take a look. For certain types of travertine, we can apply an enhancing sealer to intensify the color and enrich its natural beauty. Feel free to contact us with any questions, or to schedule a time to restore the beauty to your travertine.

When a warm and rich look is desired, sophisticated homeowners, designers, and architects specify travertine as a stone of preference for floors, countertops, shower walls and more. But travertine can become soiled or scratched. The filled holes in travertine can reappear. At Pacific Carpet and Tile Cleaning in Orange County CA, we know how to resolve any problems you may be having with your travertine.

Travertine is a Holey Stone

Travertine is a unique stone that comes in what is known as filled and unfilled finishes, that is, the natural holes that run throughout travertine may be filled, giving the stone a smooth finish or remain unfilled for a more rustic appearance. Sometimes, the filling in travertine pops out or wears away, exposing the holes. Dirt and debris can get trapped in these holes, which diminishes the appearance of filled travertine. Pacific Carpet and Tile Cleaning, can do a thorough cleaning of your travertine, then fill the holes with a filling made just for this purpose, and hone or polish it so that it looks brand new again.

Removing Scratches and Etching

Travertine comes in a honed (matte finish) and a polished finish. These finishes need to be cared for and may, from time to time, need honing to remove scratches and etching. In addition, your travertine will need to be re-polished and sealed. Pacific Carpet and Tile Cleaning can clean, hone or polish and seal your travertine. We can even change the type of finish to give your travertine a different look – a custom-finish of your choice. For your travertine cleaning and repair services, Let’s discuss your travertine needs.

At Pacific Carpet and Tile Cleaning, we know marble. We understand and appreciate its characteristics. Our extensive training, passion for what we do, and a strong commitment to educating our customers on proper care and maintenance of the marble in their homes is evident in every single job we do.

There is a common misconception that since marble is a stone it does not need any maintenance. The truth is that all marble needs some type of care. Your marble needs depend on where the stone is being used in your home, whether it is on floors, walls, countertops, vanities or shower walls.

Marble is generally a softer stone, though some marbles are harder than others. Therefore, marble will scratch, etch, and lose its shine and luster in the high traffic areas of your home, such as your bathroom or kitchen, when subjected to acidic spills and if not maintained with the proper cleaning products and methods.

Polished Marble
If you have a polished marble floor, wall, countertop, vanity or shower that has become etched, has lost its shine and beauty, then it is time to give us a call. Pacific Carpet and Tile Cleaning can refinish, protect and restore your marble or limestone surfaces back to their original condition. The before and after pictures shown above depict how our polishing service can revitalize your worn out marble.

Matte / Honed Marble Finish
If your home has marble with a matte / honed finish, it too needs proper care and maintenance. Marble with a matte / honed finish should be periodically cleaned and re-sealed by a professional like Pacific.

Caring for your Marble
At Pacific Carpet and Tile Cleaning, along with performing marble cleaning, maintenance and restoration services, we also instruct you on the proper care you should use to maintain your home’s marble surfaces.

For routine cleaning, we recommend cleaning the surface using a quality, stone-safe, neutral stone cleaner. Visit our Articles page to see other helpful articles.
If your marble becomes scratched or dulled, Pacific Carpet and Tile Cleaning can polish and restore your marble countertops, vanities or floors back to their original condition.

For most ceramic tile and natural stone flooring owners, the mop used with a mild detergent is the standard cleaning method.  While it initially appears to work fine, over time the tile darkens as household contaminants begin to build up on the surface.  The grout lines also darken as they absorb cleaning agents and dirt.

Our trained technicians will restore the beauty of your ceramic tile, natural stone and grout using a safe power wash method and environmentally safe products.

Designed to last forever, your ceramic tile and natural stone will provide many years of aesthetic appeal and performance with proper care.

Grout Sealing

After we clean the ceramic tile and grout, we apply a deep penetrating, heavy-duty grout sealer.  This strong, natural look protection resists tough oil and water-based stains.  Your grout will be easier to clean and stay clean longer.

Your carpets should be cleaned on a schedule and not simply when they look dirty or when relatives are about to drop in for a visit. Your carpets are one of the biggest investments in your house. It is important that they last a long time. In this article we’ll take a look at some key factors to help your decide which is right for your home.

The frequency of cleaning depends on a number of factors:

  • How many people live in the house?
  • How much use does it get?
  • Are there smokers in the house?
  • Does anyone in the family have allergies?

How much use does it get? One person alone in a big house will not produce the load of soil that a family of active children will. Are there smokers in the house? Smoke gets trapped in the carpet fibers and can be a source of odors. Does anyone in the family have allergies? This calls for more frequent cleaning.

The newest studies show that carpet floors are better for allergy sufferers than hard surface floors. The reason? On a hard surface, floor allergens such as dust mites and their droppings, pollens and mold spores are easily stirred up every time someone passes by or something stirs the air. A carpet traps these allergens and other pollutants as well. However, if the carpet is not cleaned on a regular basis the filtering capacity of the carpet gets over-loaded.

How much use does it get? One person alone in a big house will not produce the load of soil that a family of active children will. Are there smokers in the house? Smoke gets trapped in the carpet fibers and can be a source of odors.

Does anyone in the family have allergies? This calls for more frequent cleaning. The newest studies show that carpet floors are better for allergy sufferers than hard surface floors. The reason? On a hard surface, floor allergens such as dust mites and their droppings, pollens and mold spores are easily stirred up every time someone passes by or something stirs the air. A carpet traps these allergens and other pollutants as well. However, if the carpet is not cleaned on a regular basis the filtering capacity of the carpet gets over-loaded.

With proper maintenance, regular vacuuming, entry mats to catch dirt that would be tracked into the carpet, etc. an average residential carpet would need to be cleaned every 12 months. Sooner for smokers, allergy sufferers or carpets that get heavy use. This time can be extended up to 18 months for carpets that get limited use.

When is the best time of year to clean those carpets? Late fall is optimal. Any pollutants, abrasive soil and oil needs to be removed before winter when most homes get more tightly shut up. If the climate in your area allows for keeping doors or windows open year round it doesn’t matter what time of year.

When is the best time of day to clean your carpets? When you can be off them for 6 to 8 hours. Most professional carpet cleaners can have your carpet dry to the touch in just a few hours, but there can still be some moisture present. Walking on damp carpets allows any soil on your shoes to track off and resoil the carpet. It can also be a slip hazard if you walk from freshly cleaned carpet onto vinyl or a hard surface.

The first step is to perform a Bid. This inspection process will determine the type of cleaning method that is most suitable for your home. From the results, together we can determine the best techniques to return your carpet to peak condition.
