If you’ve recently invested in a new floor or just interested in keeping your floor looking like new and make it last longer, you can protect your flooring investment and keep your floors looking like new for longer by following proper care and maintenance steps for the type of flooring you selected.
Carpet
By properly caring for your carpet, you can keep it looking and feeling like new longer, and enjoy years of the multiple benefits of carpeting, from the soft feel to the insulating benefits. Since there are so many different types of carpets and performance features, be sure to consult your carpet warranty, as well as any requirements for professional cleaning. Most recommendations suggest a professional carpet cleaning every 12 – 18 months, while your needs may vary depending on traffic and use. You should also maintain your flooring between professional cleanings by regularly vacuuming, especially in high traffic areas.
Hardwood
It’s important to maintain the unique beauty of your hardwood floors as well as protect them from damage by following proper cleaning and maintenance guidelines. Consult the manufacturer’s care and maintenance instructions and follow these general cleaning tips.
You can keep wood floors looking like new longer by frequently sweeping dirt and debris. Use only cleaners that are approved by the manufacturer for stubborn dirt and more thorough cleaning. Most importantly, you can also prevent scratches and wear by placing floor protectors on the feet of your chairs, tables and other furniture.
Luxury vinyl
If you’ve made the choice to install new luxury vinyl flooring, you are reaping the many benefits of this versatile option, including easy care and low maintenance. Still, it’s important to follow proper care procedures to keep your vinyl floors looking new longer. You should quickly clean up any water or other spills, and sweep the entire floors weekly or as needed. Placing floor protectors on the feet of your chairs, tables and other furniture is also recommended. For a more comprehensive cleaning, you can mop with a manufacturer-approved cleaner.
Tile
Tile flooring is generally easy to clean and maintain. You should regularly sweep the floor to keep it free from debris. Wipe up any spills, and spot clean as necessary. You can also mop the entire floors with water and a manufacturer-approved cleaning solution to keep your tile and grout looking their best for years to come.
Follow these steps to keep your carpet, hardwood, luxury vinyl or tile floors looking clean and to help prevent damage and wear.

I really enjoy working with AAP Facility Services they have an extraordinary ability to know just what needs to be cleaned before anyone gets a change to bring it up to my attention, I normally have employee’s come up to me and tell me what a wonderful job the AAP cleaning crew is doing and then continue to say “I was going to mention that the front lobby floor needed some cleaning up, but never mind it seems that the cleaning crew got to it already, did someone else tell you about it?” This is why I am so satisfied with you AAP Facility Services, unlike the previous cleaning company your guys really do a great job! Thank you so much for all that you do for us, and a special thanks to Lydia for all the last minute clean-up, help and support and thank you all once again it is my pleasure to write this accolade for you.

Hello AAP Facility Services I don’t normally give out any positive reviews and make any type of comments unless I am complaining about something that was submitted to me by one of our employees, with that said I just recently received a number of complaints late last night before I left from some of the engineers that work on the third floor of the building they mentioned a bad musty smell coming from the carpet due to some water damage caused by the recent rain storms that we had. When I came in this morning I saw two more emails in my inbox one from the Senior Vice President and the other from the Operations Manager of the facility, both of which were informing me of the horrible stench in the hallway and the stairway on the third floor and could something be done about the stench immediately! As I reached for my iPhone to get in contact with our Day Porter through your app to see what if anything could be done to fix the situation I noticed a notification coming from your app. This was notifying me of the following and I quote ” Our team of cleaning technicians came across a foul smell originating from the water damage caused by the rains. We have disinfected, deodorized and steam cleaned the area including the stairwell at no additional cost. This has been factored into the monthly upkeep cost and once all repairs are made to the roof we will once again clean the entire area to ensure the smell does not come back and your facility maintains a fresh, clean, sanitary and welcoming work environment for your employees, clients and visitors. Once again this clean up was provided at no additional cost to you. Thank you for your time and have a great day!” Wow! As I stated I never had a reason to want to give any type of praise but I was able to return emails and cc everyone with ” All done Janitorial has taken care of everything they steam cleaned the carpets and left the entire area smelling wonderful. Sorry for any inconvenience and thank you for your patience. AAP Facility Services, Lydia M. Moreno and all of the Janitorial staff that works here on our site you all do a wonderful job! Thank you so very much for everything that you all do for us.
