Testing “low/no” chemical/moisture “stripping” and re-waxing of linoleum flooring with high traffic use in Fairbanks, Alaska

We will attempt to add to this post with more video and detail as we accomplish similar work.

We are currently ‘perfecting’ a step by step process that will be affordable to our commercial clients, be more effective (look better) and last longer with much more application flexibility!

Virtually no harsh chemicals and very little moisture!  It is not only great for our clients comfort, but for our staff as well.

 

Fairbanks stripping and waxing of a linoleum floor with almost no harsh chemicals and very little moisture
An almost finished job! Already looking great!

Adding a video showing most of the steps we are using.  The video also shows better detail of the chemical staining of the vinyl itself which was also dramatically improved:

The Trinity Floor Renewal Systems using their patented ‘orbital’ agitation motion have now proven themselves to be the ultimate floor care machine.

We will try and post more information, as mentioned at the start, publicly sharing some of the results we get on future “hard floor” care jobs.

I will also attempt to share some of experience of fellow trsorg.com members have had/are having with things a bit more rare here in the Fairbanks/North Pole areas like some of the many stone (soft & hard) surface cleanings/refinishing jobs they have.

Next week, we ‘should’ have more video to post with vinyl composite floors without the staining … stay tuned!

 

 

“Laugh at the cold” carpet cleaning in Ft. Greely, Alaska

This is a photo “shot” that my son took on his way to help us load carpet cleaning equipment for the trip!

This is a shot that my son took on his way to help us load carpet cleaning equipment for the trip!
Luckily for us it warmed up to -45 below right outside of North Pole! Practically summer! 🙂

You never can tell what might breakdown! We came prepared with two vehicles full of equipment and… just a bit of survival gear!:

You never can tell what might breakdown! We came prepared with two vehicles full of equipment and… just a bit of survival gear!:
Right after we left, my thermostat locked ‘cold’ and stayed that way…. made for a cold trip down (very little heat), but nothing major with either vehicle… my heat worked on the way back even!

This is a short video of the beginning of our trip and the cleaning process, if you watch closely you will get to witness some of the harassment my sons were giving me while I was there. They didn’t realize that I was videotaping the funny faces and signs that they were giving me would show up on their “old” daddy’s blog. :-).

It really was a great day, not only for carpet cleaning, but for once I was able to go fast enough to keep up with my two older sons and actually spend some time with them. As they get older, it’s hard to “catch & hold” their attention …

This is a picture of the facility as we were leaving, the outside is just as attractive as the inside. Right out in the middle of nowhere!:

Sunlight makes you feel so warm! This is our parting view on our way back home.

Hide-a-way rentals just outside of Fairbanks in the Goldstream valley.. now with really super clean and repaired carpet

I like those carpet cleaning jobs just out of town and yet in the middle of nowhere!
Nice hidden rental unit in the woods and right near town! Very pretty, very quiet neighborhood and now with a clean carpet free of asphalt, red dyes and just plain ‘ole “ickys”!

Today’s “adventure job” was just a short zip out towards Goldstream Valley.  Right off the main road, but you wouldn’t know it to stand in the front door.  Very peaceful and quiet and far enough away to have some really nice fresh crisp air.

The carpet appeared to be an older 3rd generation nylon plush in dirty, but amazingly good shape (very little abraded fiber, very little fiber loss) carpet… and, even though pets have been present off and on for years, the ‘telltale’ toenail pulls, door digs and scratches were almost non-existent.  However, with a blacklight (and with the naked eye), it was obvious where the source of the pet odor was coming from :-).

After a multiple pass vacuuming, we treated all the individual spots that we could locate and followed with heavy pet deodorizing-sanitizing products/mechanical agitation to work them in to the fibers/backing of every square inch of carpet floors.  Then, followed with standard cleaning procedures and dried/groomed and vacuumed our way out….

Some days you just really feel good about the changes a carpet cleaning/renewal can make!

There were also a couple of large, really difficult red dye stains in the living room that we worked on from the beginning of the job to the end… we finally won with reducing agents and steam to finally get the dye to transfer without ANY color loss from the existing carpet!

 

 

 

A super clean and MERRY CHRISTMAS kind of year with this Fairbanks cold keeping folks indoors

Soft, clean carpet around the Christmas tree.
At -45 degrees, it is warmer carpet cleaning up here in the hills!
A soft, super clean carpet to sit on around the tree and open gifts!
A “Trinity Renewed” carpet for Christmas! Very cool to watch the carpet changing back to it’s original bright color as we work!

 

Thankful for the cold weather that is “helping” folks spend some time with their carpets :-).  We are busy!

This client certainly has great place to sit around the tree now!  With a soft, sanitary, plush Trinity Systems ‘renewed’ carpet!

It is always fun to provide really obvious visible results to our customers, but it is also nice to know that we are vastly improving the healthfulness of surfaces that they will be in contact with and the air quality that they breathe.  ESPECIALLY when we now lock ourselves up sooooo tight to prevent heat loss.

A great thing to remember is that carpet cleaning slows way down in the winter and it is easier to schedule with us than at any other time of the year… AND, our already quick dry times are reduced even further with the colder temperatures and drier air.  One hour dry times (or less) are common this time of year regardless of the quantity of water used.

MB Management is AWESOME! Carpet cleaning in Fairbanks/North Pole for the cookie bonuses!

Fairbanks property management carpet cleaning bonuses!  I love you MB Management!
Fairbanks/North Pole carpet cleaning customers are the best in the world! Thank you Melissa, Dodie, & Pam!

 

How cool is this?!  These folks pay me to have fun fixing/restoring/cleaning carpets AND they give me bonuses to boot!  -Not just at Christmas either!

I made the mistake of moving south once and living in the states after growing up here… as many Fairbanks area folks have.  Wow!  How incredibly nice at -45 degrees to be reminded of the reason I told my new stateside friends I was “coming home” to the cold!

Reason I’m here?: The people are AWESOME (warm :-)).

Tough part of my day?  Saving the goodies to take a picture and post before all the nice wrapping was torn off…  well, er… sort of… note that the cookie bag is fluffed out to ‘fake’ you into thinking I could wait to post .. it didn’t make it home with much :-)….

Winter carpet cleaning in Fairbanks, Alaska has it’s benefits!

Sleep is HIGHLY over-rated! We are here to serve you/your business!

What do you think of my “new” hair color??? Pretty stylin’ if you ask me.

 

 

How terrific can it get?  The air is dry and cool, the lighting is great (’cause you nearly always have a headlamp on), the road traffic is light and the carpets are dirty!  No matter how much water you need to use, we can nearly always have the carpets dry in less than an hour.

Don’t get trapped in with last summer’s dirt!

Our schedule slows way down in the winter even though the soil brought into your home is usually close to the same… and the air changes are less resulting in more dust/dirt… just get out your flashlight, you will soon see for yourself.

By the way, I included a picture of myself on a job wearing a headlamp (actually on most of the jobs today…).  I see in the picture that it shows my new ‘hair-coloring’ style of “grey”… :-).

A Blockbuster way to start our carpet cleaning day!

Trinity cleaning is so non-intrusive that we can often work during the day cleaning carpets in commercial businesses... Often starting in the mornings, it is dry before any real foot traffic begins!
We clean carpets in many local Fairbanks/North Pole businesses starting in the mornings and have the carpets dry before opening!

Starting my day providing a “Trinity renewed” carpet for customers before they arrive this morning.

One of the reasons we have so many regular commercial carpet cleaning customers is the convenience of having a dry & usable carpet almost immediately after we finish.

In addition to little disruption, our customers (commercial & residential) enjoy an obvious difference in how long the carpet stays in ‘renewed’ condition.

Super nice North Pole facility again has a unit available with a “Trinity Renewed” carpet

Terrific senior facility, terrific people and now really really clean carpet!
Today we cleaned an empty unit, but their hallways and elevator/stairway carpets were already (and still in) “pristine clean” condition from a previous visit.

What a fun way to finish a -40° day!

Not only is this facility nice, but the residents here are really super enjoyable and friendly. Not only is the building warm, but the hearts of the individual people there match it with style!

Can life be any more fun! 🙂
