San Ysidro Businesses Benefit from our Commercial Cleaning Services?

3/28/2023 (Permalink)

The blinds in a commercial business are being professionally cleaned. We provide a full range of commercial cleaning services in San Diego.

I opened the blinds in my office and a plume of dust erupted into the air. I couldn’t recall the last time we had our drapes and blinds professionally cleaned, but it needed to be done. The office manager told me to call the local Otay Mesa/SanYsidro office and I’m glad I did. They immediately sent a team out who cleaned all of the drapes and blinds with minimal disruption to our employees and customers. When they completed the job a couple of hours later, the offices looked brighter and smelled fresh!

There are so many benefits to keeping your window treatments clean, including:

  1. Routine cleaning of your drapery and blinds helps to eliminate built-up dirt, dust, odors, pet dander, and contaminants that could contribute to the growth of germs and bacteria
  2. Over time, your window treatments and blinds will look dull, discolored, and dingy
  3. Window treatments are an investment, and when properly cared for, you can extend the life of these pieces

Commercial Carpet and Upholstery Cleaning in San Ysidro?

Professional Cleaning

Professional cleaning can address moderate and heavy soil conditions in your carpets. A good rule of thumb would be to professionally clean your carpet every 12 months. The best advice is to clean carpets before they become totally saturated with soil. If you wait until carpets look really dirty, the carpets may never be restored to their former appearance. Dirt builds up in layers, and when a carpet looks dirty you are only seeing the dirt at the tips of the fibers. More dirt is hiding below the surface down near the base of the pile, causing damage to the carpet. When a carpet is saturated with dirt, the soil has penetrated crevices and has become firmly lodged.

Mold is growing in the corner of a room. We are leaders in mold remediation services in San Diego.

Our local team in Otay Mesa and San Ysidro are trained and certified in applied microbial remediation by the Institute of Inspection, Cleaning, and Restoration Certification (IICRC), the nonprofit certifying body for the cleaning and restoration industries.

Rainstorms Cause Water Damage in San Ysidro?

2/14/2023 (Permalink)

Stacks of sandbags are shown. We restore storm damage 24 hours a day in San Diego.

Our local team in Otay Mesa and San Ysidro responds to storm damage emergencies 24 hours a day. Last month an atmospheric river brought heavy rain to San Diego County and caused street flooding in many parts of the county.

Here are some helpful tips from the United States Army Corps of Engineers for the best placement of sandbags:

  • Clear debris from the area where you want to build the barrier. Don’t build on uneven ground as sandbags need to settle flat.
  • Place the sandbags lengthways/parallel to the direction of the water flow. Ensure the open end of the bag is folded under the filled portion of the bag.
  • Flatten down each row of bags with your foot to eliminate gaps, create a tight seal and support the structure of the wall. Lay the rows like brickwork with each bag overlapping the one below by half.
  • When there are more than four rows, build the wall in a pyramid shape three times wider than it is tall. Seal the wall with plastic sheeting for added protection on the “wet” side and secure it with a row of sandbags across the top and along the bottom edge.
