House dust mites are microscope bugs that primarily live on dead skin cells regularly shed from humans and their animal pets. Dust mites are harmless to most people. They don't carry diseases, but they can cause allergic reactions in asthmatics and others who are allergic to their feces.
Skin cells and scales, commonly called dander, are often concentrated in lounging areas, mattresses, frequently used furniture and associated carpeted areas, often harbor large numbers of these microscopic mites. Since the average human sloughs off 1/3 ounce (10 grams) of dead skin a week. That gives dust mites a lot to eat. Cats and dogs create far more dander for dust mites to eat.
A typical mattress can contain tens of thousands of dust mites. Sick yet? Nearly 100,000 mites can live in one square yard of carpet. Ready to convince your spouse to start bathing regularly? Did you know a single dust mite produces about 20 waste droppings each day, each containing a protein to which many people are allergic. Yuck! The proteins in that combination of feces and shed skin are what cause allergic reactions in humans. Depending on the person and exposure, reactions can range from itchy eyes to asthma attacks. And finally, unlike other types of mites, house dust mites are not parasites, since they only eat dead tissue. Gross, but true.
Upon stripping and refinishing of your flooring the manufacturers recommend an ongoing maintenance program. Your flooring is designed and manufactured with this in mind. Your flooring must have regular professional attention. Whether it is done in-house or by AMERI-CLEAN, it simply must be done.
The following is a description of manufacturers’ recommendations:
The most cost effective way to maintain your flooring is by a process known as a monthly machine scrubbing followed by recoating (or scrub and recoat). This is done by a thorough sweeping and dust mopping of the floor followed by a machine cleaning with a specific product formulated for this purpose. This will thoroughly clean the floor finish without removing it. Following the machine cleaning, the floor is then triple rinsed followed by an application of one coat of SC Johnson floor finish. The type of floor finish depends on your specific needs. This process needs to be performed a minimum of once per month. Your situation may require more than this process alone.
If your situation calls for more than the minimum, the next step above the monthly scrub and recoat is to do a bi-monthly scrub and recoat. This will provide substantially more cleaning and protection for your flooring without severely increasing your costs.
If your situation calls for something even more specialized, a customized floor maintenance program can be designed for you. Many medical, retail and high-end office buildings require more than the minimum manufacturers’ requirements. Yours may be more of a high speed type of program. For these situations we can combine various types of floor finish along with daily or weekly burnishing services, scrubbing and recoating and restoring.
