Urmann on the blog &lt;a href="http://www.janitorialtips.co.uk/"&gt;Janitorial Tips&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;[QUOTE]&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here are some general ways of taking care of your hardwood floors:&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;* Keep your hardwood floor dry.  Never let spills or any kind of fluid sit on your hardwood floor.  This can cause warping on your floor. When spills occur, make sure to wipe it off right away with soft cloth.  Never use dripping rugs or even damp rugs on your floor. Wet rugs can cause dullness and discoloration on your hardwood floors.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;* Keep your hardwood floors away from too much sun exposure.  Too much exposure to sunlight can cause damage to any organic material.  This can make the color of your floor lose its original color.  It is best to use curtains or blinds to keep sunlight from getting through your house.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;* You should place fabric or any felt materials under the leg of your furniture to avoid scratching your hardwood floor.  Lifting furniture when moving them can also avoid scratches on floor surfaces.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Walking on hardwood floors with your shoes on can also damage your floor.  Make sure that your shoes don’t have rocks or anything stuck on their soles that can scratch your floor.  To keep this from happening, place doormats on your entrance so any abrasive things can be dusted off upon entering your house.  High-heeled shoes can also abrade hardwood floors.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Keeping your floor clean, dust and grit free can prolong the life of your hardwood floors.  Simple cleaning can do your floor wonders.  You can use soft bristled brooms in sweeping your floor.  Brooms with fine, exploded ends can effectively trap dusts and grits.  These dusts and grits can ruin your floor finish. They can roughen your floor.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Vacuum cleaners can be also used to provide a specially made attachment for wooden floors.   Never use vacuums with beater bars for it can cause dents on the floor.  A vacuum with a brush attachment would be better.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Experts say that damp mopping is the best way to clean your hardwood floors. Water or any kind of cleaning agents will not harm your new hardwood floors unless the finish has already worn off. Make sure that your mop is damp and not wet. Mopping can be done as often as once a week.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Waxing your hardwood floor is also one way of protecting it. It can make your wood floor new again. Buff your floor after applying a wax to make it luster. Wax can protect your old hardwood floor especially if the finish has already worn off and you don’t have plans of having it refinish right away. Wax on floor can be easily removed by damp mopping. Just reapply the wax to make your floor looking like new again.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Different floor care products are now available in the market. However, not all are safe to use. Oil-based cleansers can cause permanent damage to your wood floors. Oil particles can build up on the surface of your floor. Water-based cleansers are safer for use on wood floors.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;To be sure of the kind of care or products to use on your hardwood floors, you must always check with manufacturer.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;[END QUOTE]&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_P86w3jiXpHU/Ss1qPrNRjcI/AAAAAAAAHr8/idW3nCN2wYQ/s1600-h/Value+Clean+CEO.jpg"&gt;+&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6599731509223513685-3640039821656732671?l=valueclean.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://valueclean.blogspot.com/feeds/3640039821656732671/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://valueclean.blogspot.com/2009/10/care-of-hardwood-floors.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6599731509223513685/posts/default/3640039821656732671'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6599731509223513685/posts/default/3640039821656732671'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://valueclean.blogspot.com/2009/10/care-of-hardwood-floors.html' title='Care of Hardwood Floors'/><author><name>steven edward streight</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='22' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_P86w3jiXpHU/Sv2iLkxH2-I/AAAAAAAAH3A/CK_MbarG3gQ/S220/Steven+Streight+sidebar+photo+1.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_P86w3jiXpHU/Ss1px-56q2I/AAAAAAAAHr0/lxxPGFH9XS0/s72-c/Value+Clean+hardwood+floor.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6599731509223513685.post-4784823004161116248</id><published>2009-10-06T15:55:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2009-10-07T12:54:21.896-05:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='clean'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='removal'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='cleaning'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='office'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='janitorial'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='cleanup'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='garbage'/><title type='text'>Welcome to Value Clean Inc.</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_P86w3jiXpHU/SsvPZVUPPYI/AAAAAAAAHrE/IKbNhFwLrXc/s1600-h/Value+Clean+CEO.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_P86w3jiXpHU/SsvPZVUPPYI/AAAAAAAAHrE/IKbNhFwLrXc/s400/Value+Clean+CEO.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5389629413204639106" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hi folks! I'm James Garner, CEO of Value Clean Inc., based in Peoria, IL.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;How are we different from other janitorial services?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well, we're fanatics about perfection.  We scan your facilities with sharp focus on what other services overlook. Your offices will look better than you ever imagined.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As we spoke with customers, we heard stories about janitorial service companies who charged a lot of money, with monthly or annual contracts, but did a mediocre job.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We also, unfortunately, heard about cleaning services that had problems with employees. Some customers even complained about janitorial workers being caught committing acts of theft. Imagine that! Stealing from the offices they were supposed to clean.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One common factor kept cropping up: the services sent just ONE person in to do the cleaning.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Our employees are background checked and grilled intensely to prevent this from happening. But we also never send in just one person to clean. We do "Unit Cleaning" whereby we send in teams of at least 4 workers to clean your building. That improves employee morale, since it's kind of lonely working by yourself, and it also acts as an additional theft prevention measure.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We trust our employees, but we also make it far more difficult for a good employee, in a moment of moral weakness, to be tempted to do anything improper. That's just another example of the strict attention we pay to every detail! We are totally business oriented and completely reliable.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Our customers really appreciate our policies, work ethic, and professional standards.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Contact us today...and ask about our standard 25% DISCOUNT.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;font-size:180%;" &gt;vclean [at] mail [dot] com&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;font-size:180%;" &gt;Phone (309) 922-2020&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ask for me, James Garner...&lt;br /&gt;or my partner Derek Marlott.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;"We don't cut corners...just prices!"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;With Value Clean Inc., you can relax. In complete confidence that your cleaning will be done right, with intense attention to detail and total professionalism.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We'll make sure your offices are clean as a whistle, without costing you an arm and a leg. Your commercial property janitorial needs are met, economically, and with total, passionate attention to detail.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;* Office cleaning&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;* Floor care&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;* Carpet shampooing&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;* Waste removal&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;* Construction clean-up&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It's easy to forget that even the nicest stores and offices can collect dust, debris, and garbage, sometimes in places you may have overlooked. A clean workplace reflects your high quality standards.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Clean work-spaces improve productivity and employee morale.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But they must be completely clean, consistently.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Customers, clients and suppliers will notice old McDonald's bags and used styrofoam coffee cups lying around. It's not a great way to make a good impression. But who has time to fuss with such things? You've got a business to run. It makes sense to let professionals take on your cleaning projects.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Turn to Value Clean Inc. and let us keep your facility gleaming bright!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_P86w3jiXpHU/Ssu5d3C6OWI/AAAAAAAAHqo/AhYW0BfpFH4/s1600-h/office+garbage+1.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_P86w3jiXpHU/Ssu5d3C6OWI/AAAAAAAAHqo/AhYW0BfpFH4/s400/office+garbage+1.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5389605301722429794" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_P86w3jiXpHU/SsvLfyMeUHI/AAAAAAAAHq0/C8lBsG5R9PM/s1600-h/ValueClean+logo.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 192px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_P86w3jiXpHU/SsvLfyMeUHI/AAAAAAAAHq0/C8lBsG5R9PM/s400/ValueClean+logo.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5389625125989404786" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6599731509223513685-4784823004161116248?l=valueclean.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://valueclean.blogspot.com/feeds/4784823004161116248/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://valueclean.blogspot.com/2009/10/welcome-to-value-clean.html#comment-form' title='4 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6599731509223513685/posts/default/4784823004161116248'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6599731509223513685/posts/default/4784823004161116248'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://valueclean.blogspot.com/2009/10/welcome-to-value-clean.html' title='Welcome to Value Clean Inc.'/><author><name>steven edward streight</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='22' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_P86w3jiXpHU/Sv2iLkxH2-I/AAAAAAAAH3A/CK_MbarG3gQ/S220/Steven+Streight+sidebar+photo+1.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_P86w3jiXpHU/SsvPZVUPPYI/AAAAAAAAHrE/IKbNhFwLrXc/s72-c/Value+Clean+CEO.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>4</thr:total></entry></feed>
