Salem Oregon Pet Owners- Cleaning pet accidents


MOST households have at least one cat or a dog. And although they may be our best friends, they may not be the best for the carpet, rugs, and upholstery. Animal related issues and stains can be challenging to remove, so it’s best to attack them while they are fresh...
There are two types of reactions that can take place between the chemistry in an animal’s urine and those in the dyes and fibers of textile furnishings. The first type of reaction is immediately noticeable. The yellow color of the urine can change the color (s) of the fiber or fabric (especially light colors) as soon as it comes in contact with them.
The other reactions develop slowly over several days to several months and can result in permanent changes to the dyes and fiber. Not only can the dyes change but some fibers may become weakened or destroyed by the aged urine. The decomposing urine can also produce an objectionable odor. After cleaning, these areas are more obvious because the soils that hid the changed color and damaged fibers have been removed. Also, dyes weakened by urine may bleed especially on your fine wool rugs so if you see color transfer as you’re blotting up the urine, take the wool rug to a professional cleaner in your area as soon as possible.


The next time you encounter wet urine follow these simple steps:
1.Absorb as much liquid as possible with several layers of white terry or paper toweling.
2. Treat the area with a neutral detergent solution (one teaspoon neutral white or colorless laundry detergent in a cup of lukewarm water). Make sure the detergent is free of bleaching agents (no chlorine or peroxide).Blot (don’t rub or scrub) that liquid with several layers of white terry or paper towel. Note: always test the solutions first by applying a small amount in an inconspicuous area to determine its effect on the fiber and dye. Wait thirty minutes to an hour to see if any color changes or other problems may arise.
3. apply the mild ammonia solution (1/2 teaspoon clear or sudsy, uncolored household ammonia in one cup of water ). Blot again.
4. apply the vinegar solution (one part white vinegar to two parts water). Blot.
5. finally place several clean, dry, white terry or paper towels over the area and weigh down with a plastic bucket or jug filled with water.
6. allow the area to dry a minimum of six hours. Repeat if necessary.

Refrigerated Semi Trailer Floors-Our patent high speed cleaners can remove dirt for up to 25 times faster than the standard wands and 15 times faster than water brooms used by common pressure washer companies in Salem, Oregon.-The user walks behind the unit holding the two handles. The arms are connected to the shaft that is part of the spinning head (a mechanism that allows smooth rotation of the arm). These arms rotate/spin with the flow of the water (greater the water volume – the faster the spinning times), which creates a scrubbing action with the water coming out. The spray nozzles are only 1/2” away from the surface which allows greater cleaning capabilities. Then we add up to 320 degrees of heat which allows us to lower the typical high pressures that can damage various surfaces. The edge of the housing and the brush skirt protect the surrounding area from over spraying. A great advantage of these cleaners is that they eliminate the “zebra” striping usually found using traditional pressure washing methods.-Truck mounted extraction eliminates the worry of waste water runoff. These systems are designed to protect the environment and comply with storm drain regulations. Suitable for use on greasy factory floors, concrete parking lots and drive through areas, gas stations, garages and more.

Salem Oregon Tile and Grout Cleaning


Fast Finish
Many folks forget about having their tile and grout professionally cleaned, and others don't even realize that a professional tile and grout cleaning service is available in Salem, Oregon

While sweeping and mopping are great ways to maintain your tile floors, there is nothing that compares to the Hydro-Cleaning services that Fast Finish provides with removing the embedded soils and grime through extraction.
We begin by inspecting the tile & grout. This is important as we need to make sure the customer doesn't have any cracking tiles or grout that need repair.

Next we apply a high PH alkaline spray. This proprietary heavy duty spray dissolves all the grease and grime that is deeply embedded into the grout lines of your floor. While they are still safe for you family and pets the products we use are not available at your local hardware store and are only available to professional tile and grout cleaners.
After applying the spray we us a specialize grout scrubbing tool to scrub each line to ensure that we remove all the dirt, grease and grime from you grout lines.

Once we are sure we have properly cleaned your grout lines we use our professional grade extraction tool to apply a high pressure, heat, rinse and extraction process. This step ensure that we get all the dirt and grease we just cleaned sucked out to our truck mount tanks and also that we remove all the cleaning agent residue so your tile and grout will have its original luster.
We always take the time to wipe down your baseboards and any tight corners that need detail cleaning. Just another step we do to take your tile and grout cleaning experience to the next level.
We then set up fans to speed dry your tile and grout.
We can also apply an optional sealer to your grout as well. We offer two different grout sealing services.
1. Clear seal - this service applies a penetrating clear seal to your grout. This seal does not alter the color of your grout it simply applies a protective coating that does not allow liquids to soak into grout. This also allows you to easily maintain your tile and grout floors with regular sweeping and mopping with little effort.
2. Color seal - Many people are not even aware of this service, and once we show them what color sealing can do for the grout they are simply amazed. We use a urethane acrylic color seal product. The advantage to this product is it actually stains the grout any color the customer chooses. Our color sealers come with a 15 year product guarantee.

Salem Town Oregon Driveway Cleaning

A Salem Town Customer took advantage of Living Social special and not only had their driveway cleaned, but all their walkways, and patio. We removed heavy moss and black mold from concrete walk areas that had never been cleaned since 1969. Afterwards we sprayed a mold inhibitor that will keep the exposed aggregate looking good for several seasons. The next project would require a nice color sealant that would really make the aggregate stand out.

National Carpet cleaner reviews

The interesting thing about the the listed companies above in our area are:
  • They have older equipment on their fleet
  • They utilize mostly older procedures
  • They have mostly $10 hour employees
  • The employees are looking to move onward from the business
  • The number one company is not available in our area
  • The number two company is available but does not use the method that the carpet manufactures recommend, leaving behind a chemical on your carpets due to not utilizing a hot water extraction method. They are ranked high due to having a dry carpet and an adequate visual appearance.Otherwise I would rank them last.

Why are we Cleaning & Restoring?

In most states and cities across the country, news channels will do small updates on "Dirty Dining" highlighting various eateries that do not meet the minimum expectation for cleanliness for serving food. Trust me when I say that the lasting affects of making that list are very grim and almost a death knell for that business. Most don't recover from it...

To Many Carpet Cleaners

When Anna & I approached our business, we did not have a lot of interest in cleaning carpets.In fact, when I started researching what could be done with our equipment, I did not even look at how many carpet cleaners there were in our area. The reason being is that we had a different niche in mind with hard surface restorations and refinishing of those surfaces.(CHECK IT OUT)
The other reason is that carpet is just plain nasty and can only get so clean. If you have ever had your carpets cleaned, the cleaners will most likely tell you that your carpet is the largest filter in your house or business. And you know what..., it is very true! There is no way around it. The carpet accumulates and holds onto all the worlds filth. That is why they need to be cleaned constantly. The irony is that in spite of this, 75% of America's homes and business still have carpets! Carpet Cleaners around the world Thank You for having carpets...
So, the best carpet in our opinion is no carpet. But if you have it as most of us do, get it cleaned often. Yes, there are lots of carpet cleaners where we reside in Oregon, and I am sure a few of them will do as good a job as the wand & chemicals will allow. And since the world has so much carpet, we purchased in 2012 the best equipment available, to make sure that if we are going to clean carpet, it has the potential to be cleaner and more noticeable than any of our competitors out there. We do not want to be a "Me Too" company or a "we clean carpets too" company. We are striving for a Finish that we can be proud of....A Fast Finish

Driveway Cleaning $99 special

This was a test on the equipment using Heat and Pressure with no Emulsifiers (Chemicals) Cleaning concrete is a process if you want it done correctly.This is considered a topical clean without blasting the top surface off of it causing micro pitting of the surface.(Which is bad if you don't seal it afterwards) Most of the dirt and oils consist of tire and black mold that has settled in over the years. Concrete is very porous and mold can easily grow in all the cracks and crevices.http://www.fastfinishor.com








This  is what it looked like afterwards. This is considered the first step. You will still be able to see where the stain was in the later pics and how it penetrated deep into the pores.The majority  of the topical oils came up with heat and pressure. Now we will utilize natural enzymes
(bugs)to break it down even further.




Even at this stage we could seal it and make it look good. However, we have bigger plans for this concrete as it will be the sample for various acid stains, topcoats and sealers that we will offer our clients.
Stay Tuned...

Color seal grout after cleaning!!

After cleaning up the old grout in the kitchen or bathroom, add a professional color seal that will last for years while keeping out the mold and bacteria that is prone to those areas...

You want clean??

Most people don't know that when they pay to have a floor cleaned (any floor) they are paying to have the dirt and grime moved around, diluted and ground into other less noticeable areas of the flooring. Complete extraction is the only true way to get the results you truly want.
Notice the difference with extracting this tile surface and grout.
