What is effervescence or efflorescence on stone floor?

Efflorescence is caused when soluble salts and other water dispersive materials come to the surface of a stone floor. We see a lot of effervescence when there is no dam sheet under the floor so you will find that in old houses.


Low temperatures, condensation, moist conditions, rain, dew and water can cause effervescence. It can occur very soon after exposure to moist or cool conditions. This is quite difficult to remove it and if you don't allow the floor to breath after applying the sealant, you will have some problem in the future.

We have cleaned a staff room in one of the colleges in Cambridge.
This is one of Art of Clean Maintenance Plan Clients. We look after the carpet and make sure it is cleaned on a regular basis and also stains and spots are removed as soon as they gets a major spill.

After the clean we will apply a carpet protector to protect the Commercial Carpet

Art of Clean at Temple Newsam in Leeds - Rugs

We visited Temple Newsam and it was a great experience. Leeds City Council bought it from Lord Halifax in 1922.

We saw some beautiful rugs,paintings and tapestries.

Amazing needle work armchair that is made from colored wools and silk with panels showing biblical scenes.

It is amazing to look at real old items like this and wonder... how did they keep it clean so many years ago... They must have done a great job as we have the privilage of still visiting places like Temple Newsam and admire these items.

Many of them show their age but I am asure a lot of the things we fill our houses with these days wil not stand the test of time as these items have done.

Key to achieving this is the teams of people that take care of these places.

We had the pleasure of meeting the team at Temple Newsam.

It was amazing listerning to the stories they had to tell to the groups of visitors while we where there.

The Scouts and Guides clearly had a good time

Looking forward to our next visit

Rug Cleaning - Art of Clean

We cleaned one HUGE 12x16 rug last week and we wanted to share with you how much soil we removed. We use a special machine that vibrates and removes all the dried soil.

 

I have put together a short video for you to follow the whole process...

ENJOY!

Removing paint from stone and Tile floors

The picture below shows a stone floor that was painted long time ago and with the time, the paint has been removed. It is very difficult to remove all the paint from the stone. In Cambridgeshire, we also find bricks painted in red as this was fashion several years ago. 

For the removal of paint, oil and waxes on old tiles like this we use a specialist method where the treatment starts the day before the actual cleaning start. We call it Blanket cleaning.

This allows our clients to still have access to the treated areas till the next day when we start the cleaning as we will use a very thick plastic sheet covering the floor that is coverd with our specialist cleaning solutions... 

here is a example of Pierre covering a floor...
