Science based carpet cleaning to provide you with 100% satisfaction. We stand behind our word and our work; if you aren’t satisfied, we aren’t either. A good floor care program is a program that regularly and properly maintains the floor surfaces in order to reduce the frequency of deep, restorative carpet cleaning. Periodic carpet cleaning is recommended on a regular schedule to remove allergens and improve your indoor air quality as well as extending the life of the carpeting and to remove embedded soiling. Carpeting being maintained on a schedule provides a better appearance for your occupants and also reduces the environmental impact compared to infrequent deep, restorative carpet cleaning. We perform all Carpet cleaning using the IICRC’s (Institute of Inspection Cleaning and Restoration Certification) recommended best practices and utilizing equipment certified with the Carpet and Rug Institute’s (CRI) “Seal of Approval”. The equipment used during this process is regularly inspected and maintained to ensure its optimal performance. We utilize an array of carpet cleaning techniques, such as mobile extraction units, spot cleaning, advanced grooming technology, the most powerful carpet cleaning truck and much more. Our technicians are IICRC certified to make sure we are providing knowledgeable solutions.

As part of our commercial cleaning solutions, we provide disinfectant application services, from high touch surfaces to full scale applications as well as applications to contaminated spaces. We apply disinfectants to all types of properly prepared surfaces, to achieve the highest possible efficacy. Depending on the frequency and coverage that you need for your business or facility, we can tailor a plan to suit your specific requirements. Some disinfectant application projects are better suited using specialized application equipment. We offer most application technologies available to ensure the most efficient and best equipment is being used to properly apply disinfectant to your surfaces. From electrostatic sprayers to HVLP (high volume low pressure) fogging, even foaming and continuous spray technologies, we are focused on providing the proper solution for our customers. Cleaning only removes the built-up layers of biofilms (visible impurities like dirt, lipids and other grime on a surface), but will not remove many of the microorganisms too small to be seen by the naked eye. In today’s virus aware climate, your business operations emphasis should be placed on mitigating microorganisms, to avoid the potential for creating public and internal health issues. Therefore, it’s important to properly apply an EPA approved disinfectant to surfaces after cleaning them. Applying disinfectants on a properly cleaned surface is important for the following reasons: A disinfectant is not a cleaning detergent. Precleaning is essential and arguably the most important step when applying disinfectants. Microbes & viruses can live beneath the surface of a biofilm and if the biofilm is not removed first, the disinfectants effectiveness can be greatly reduced. Just coming in and spraying the room does not effectively disinfect. https://www.cs.montana.edu/webworks/projects/stevesbook/contents/chapters/chapter001/section002/green/page001.html For disinfection to be effective, proper chemical concentration and a specific contact dwell time must be observed. A disinfectant MUST be allowed time to dwell on a surface. A products efficacy (kill rate) is much lower if not allowed to dwell. The CDC and product manufacturers often recommend a dwell time of up to 10 minutes. The efficacy rate of any product depends on the situational specifics, such as environmental conditions, concentration and potency of the disinfectant being used as well as the actual level of contamination. (Literature attached: “CDC-Infection Control”) https://www.cdc.gov/infectioncontrol/index.html Depending on the nature of your business operation, there are regulations set in place to govern certain types of businesses in observance of public welfare and safety. For instance, food establishments are required to meet a certain level of regular sanitation to be allowed to continue to operate. This is especially true for those that are handling and serving food on site. We can help develop and maintain a program to ensure you meet your requirements. Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP) Testing Capabilities In addition to surface preparation and disinfectant applications, we also provide and interpret ATP testing. Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP) is an energy molecule found in all plant, animal and microbial cells. The detection of ATP on a surface therefore indicates the presence of biological matter. Measuring the amount of bioluminescence from an ATP reaction provides a good indication of surface cleanliness. Using the readings from the ATP testing scientifically validates that our job of making your space safer is complete. If a high touch surface doesn’t pass an ATP test, it can be readdressed immediately, then retested, giving you the reassurance that what you can’t see is truly not there. Disinfectant Application Services You Can Trust The process of disinfecting kills microorganisms present on a surface. Although it doesn’t destroy all forms of microbial life on the surface, it does effectively reduce their concentration to levels low enough to help prevent infection. With our disinfectant application services, you can be sure that the risk of your business spreading infection is further lowered. Used in accordance to the label instructions, the EPA recognized disinfectants we use are highly effective against microorganisms, leaving the treated surfaces safer for occupants of your spaces. If you prioritize having a clean and sanitized workspace, office tower, play space, health care facility, daycare, fitness center, educational institution, public space, hospitality facility, hotel or just your home environment, then you came to the right the place. Here at Commercial Cleaning Contractors, we take pride in our ability to deliver results that not only meet expectations but exceed them as well.

Professional Tile and Grout Cleaning To clean, restore and seal tile and grout flooring properly, you must have the proper tools and experience to achieve the desired results. Here at Commercial Cleaning Contractors, we are IICRC certified natural stone and tile specialist, which means we have both the knowledge and capabilities needed to provide highly thorough and efficient tile and grout cleaning services. Whether you are simply looking to preserve the like new appearance of your freshly installed tiled surfaces or seeking to restore the worst looking grout you’ve got, we can help. Our Tile and Grout Cleaning Process Our standard Tile and Grout Cleaning process includes the application of deep cleaning with high heat using a truck mounted unit with encapsulated pressure washing heads and different types of mechanical scrubbing operations. Grout staining is cleaned through a hand scrubbing method on each line of grout. After deep cleaning is finished, a sealant is added to the grout to protect it from staining. Final cleanup is performed after the sealant dries. Benefits of Proper Tile and Grout Maintenance Keeps your tile looking its best every day Significantly extend the life of your tile and grout through proper maintenance cleaning and sealing. Maintain a consistent appearance year in, year out. Reduce the chance of permanent grout or tile damage or staining Remove embedded soils and allergens from your grout and unglazed tiles Eliminate the potential for permanent staining. Untreated grout and tile is susceptible to permanent stains from common food items, dyes and liquids. Our company has certified stone masonry and tile cleaning technicians (https://iicrc.org/smt/) Most commercial tile and grout restoration involves hand scrubbing individual grout lines for the best results, the more the soil is embedded the more hand scrubbing is necessary. Because this can be very labor intensive, restoring neglected tile is more expensive than performing regular maintenance over time with high pressure water, mechanical scrubbing and recovery methods. When regularly maintained the labor hours spent scrubbing grout lines by hand are significantly reduced. Maintaining your tile and grout on a consistent schedule remains the most cost-effective way to keep your buildings flooring and walls looking clean all the time. Reliable Tile Floor Cleaning That Gets Results We also have the ability to test your grout and tiles sealer performance to make sure it’s well protected. A properly applied professional sealer will not be noticeable while greatly reducing the chance of permanent staining or damage. If you are looking for tile cleaning companies, with professional tile floor cleaning experience, then you came to the right place!

High Dusting in Minneapolis and St. Paul Ductwork, light fixtures, and other hard to reach places can collect a lot of dust. Dust buildup can make your facilities look and feel unhygienic. It can also harbor, pollen, insects, dead skin and other allergens diminishing your overall indoor air quality. At Commercial Cleaning Contractors, we offer high dusting services to clients in Minneapolis and St. Paul. Don’t let your business collect dust; hire us to handle your high dusting needs. Our High Dusting Procedures Our high dusting procedures are highly involved. We go above and beyond standard dusting. Dust Capturing: Whenever we undertake high dusting jobs, we make sure to place a tarp underneath the person performing the work, so that any dust that is knocked down during the process is captured instead of soiling the floor. Visual Buildup: We use static recovery and HEPA vacuum recovery to eliminate visual buildup. Detail Work: Sometimes high dusting requires thorough damp-cloth hand-wiping. This is important when bio-films and static attraction leave a dingy appearance to surfaces. Our team members are trained to perform this kind of detailed work efficiently and effectively. Lighting Diffusers: We have methodologies and special tools for dealing with lighting diffusers efficiently while high dusting. Eco-Friendly At CCC, we strive to be environmentally conscious. That’s why we avoid single-use cleaning supplies whenever possible. When we dust, we use static cloth, which can be cleaned with a HEPA vacuum when it becomes soiled, and reused indefinitely. OSHA Compliant Keeping our team members safe on the job is one of our number one priorities at CCC. We take many safety precautions when we undertake high dusting jobs. For example, when one of our team members is on a ladder that is over six feet tall, we require another team member to be present to help manage the ladder and equipment being used. This is necessary to prevent any potential falls, and not only ensures safety for our personnel, but also provides piece of mind that your furniture and belongings are not going to be damaged or covered in the dust we are collecting. If you’re in need of high dusting services in the Minneapolis/St. Paul area, contact us today!

We provide odor source control in instances where mal-odor is a recurring problem that cannot be completely eliminated. We often employ odor source control in places like high-traffic restrooms.

From basic procedures such as regularly flushing out problem pipes, or advanced foaming techniques to keep mal-odors to a minimum. Just because an odor source cannot be stopped does not mean that it cannot be corrected and controlled.

Carpet Repair in Minneapolis and St. Paul Carpets are easily damaged, and damaged carpets can be a real eye sore. Completely replacing a damaged carpet is a hassle, and often prohibitively expensive. Fortunately, completely replacing your high value textile is not the only way to deal with carpet damage. Commercial Cleaning Contractors provides expert carpet repair services to businesses and individuals all over the Minneapolis/St. Paul area. 30+ Years of Carpet Repair Experience Before starting at CCC, our current owner operated his own carpet dyeing and repair service. He still maintains accredited carpet repair training, bringing over 30 years of carpet repair experience to every job. We are equipped to repair commercial carpet, residential carpet, and high value rugs of all types. No matter what type of damage you’re looking at, we have the dedication, resources, and expertise to restore or preserve your cherished textiles. What Can We Repair? A lot of people who own damaged carpets or rugs don’t realize that their textiles can be repaired. At CCC, we can repair many different types of carpet damage, using techniques that make the restored area virtually invisible. Here are common examples of repairs we perform: Stains: Dirt stains, food stains, and pet stains are all common causes of carpet damage. Some staining is permanent but that doesn’t mean it has to remain. We can remove stained carpet and replace it with another piece using a bonded insert or a graft. Re-Stretching: Does your carpet buckle or lift? It shouldn’t, and it’s a sure sign that the carpet was not installed properly. This repair is requested often and just requires some elbow grease to move furniture and re-stretch the carpet, which is then trimmed clean and tucked back into the base molding. Tuft Loss: Once the cause of tufted fiber loss is identified and repaired, the tufts that are pulled out can be replaced by strategically re-tufting the areas where the loss occurred. Larger areas or certain weaves can be grafted on to the secondary backing. Edge Ravel: This condition happens at seams and edges that were not properly sealed. We can first inspect the installation to determine if the installer used seam/ edge sealer, then the proper repairs can be made. Tears: Carpet can be susceptible to ripping, which can result in unsightly holes. We will choose the best repair method based on the circumstance we are presented. Delamination: Delamination is a common carpet problem that involves the separation of the primary and secondary carpet backing. It can be caused by everything from heavy traffic, improper installation, even improper cleaning. Hand Sewing: Hand sewing repairs are recommended for all Wilton, and most other woven or braided carpets. We are well versed in all stitch types, choosing hidden stitch techniques that are extremely durable, and remain invisible. High Value Heirloom Rugs/ Persian Rugs/ Islamic Carpets: Often referred to as “Oriental Rugs”, this term has become outdated and doesn’t properly identify t areas that these textiles originate from. If you have damaged antique carpet or treasured hand-woven rugs? Don’t fret, there is a solution to seamlessly repair your cherished investment. If we can’t repair it in house, we have procured a network of consultants and professional resources that span the globe. We can guarantee your investment is properly insured, will be handled with the utmost care and properly repaired by experienced professionals. Expert artisans that know the region of origin, exact weave construction and possess the original material goods to make the proper repairs. Our Lifetime Warranty When we perform carpet repair services, we offer our clients a lifetime warranty for the remainder of the usable life of the carpet. We strive to provide lasting results, expert craftsmanship and long-term customer satisfaction. Repairs for Carpets Past their Prime If you need repairs done on a carpet that is already beyond its usable life, don’t worry! We’ve got you covered! Although we do not offer warranties for carpets that fall into this category, we are willing and able to perform repair work on them.

Interior Window Cleaning in Minneapolis and St. Paul Large windows and interior glass walls have become a popular choice in many workplaces, and for good reason. Glass lets a lot of natural light into a building, which reduces the need for artificial lighting. Occupants in your spaces appreciate natural light in abundance, in-turn increasing staff morale and productivity. Businesses that use less artificial lighting also have lower electricity bills and smaller carbon footprints than their counterparts. Interior windows and glass walls are great! However, they do need to be cleaned regularly. At Commercial Cleaning Contractors, we offer interior window cleaning and window strip washing services to businesses in Minneapolis, St. Paul, and the surrounding areas. Why is Interior Window Cleaning Important? When an interior window is not deep cleaned routinely, a film will develop and dust will accumulate on the surface of the glass. Eventually, this accumulation will streak when cleaned, or, when not cleaned create a foggy film that keeps natural light out of the room. When glass strip washing is done by professionals, interior window cleaning will remove the fog and haze from glass and allow natural light to illuminate the space once again. Our Interior Window Cleaning Methods At CCC, our time-tested interior glass cleaning and window strip washing methods are guaranteed to leave your glass streak-free and sparkling. We use accredited techniques proven to get rid of window fogs, hazes, and films. When washing interior windows and glass walls, we utilize specialized microfiber wands & trowels that are specially designed for glass cleaning. Quality tools and flawless technique, this is how we ensure exceptional results every time. The Benefits of Using Microfiber Trowels during Daily Cleaning Our microfiber trowels are extremely good at capturing substances without releasing them, which prevents windows or mirrors from being re-soiled during the cleaning process. Thanks to our microfiber trowels, during daily service we only need to use a minimal amount of glass cleaning solution. Using microfiber products engineered for glass cleaning helps us reduce our chemical usage by over 90%. Microfiber products are reusable, which means we can avoid creating unnecessary waste when on the job. The Benefits of Strip Washing Efficiently deep cleans glass, mirrored surfaces, casings, and sashes in an eco-friendly manner Removes haze, residues, adhesives and dust to bring back the sparkle.

The Dangers of Mold If you have mold in your home or business, it can be extremely problematic. Problems include degradation to construction materials, compromised structure, and hazardous indoor air quality. Therefore, it’s extremely important to get rid of mold, and any of the contributing moisture sources, as soon as possible. Mold has been linked to multiple health problems, ranging from mild symptoms to serious illnesses. Common symptoms of mold may include one or more of the following: - Congestion - Sneezing - Coughing - Eye irritation - Headaches - Fever - Fatigue - Nausea - Asthma - Skin irritation More information is available through the CDC here: https://www.cdc.gov/mold/default.htm Our Microbial and Mold Remediation Procedures At CCC, we are IICRC trained and certified in microbial and mold remediation (https://iicrc.org/amrt/) and have written protocols and specific procedures in place for dealing with such contaminants in a very safe and effective manner. This limits any potential exposure to potential toxins, while our technicians safely remove the contaminants. The emphasis we have put on technology allows us to efficiently document the entire process and keep you updated in real time through our app. Our mold remediation services include: - Free initial consultation and estimate: We can make initial determinations, then help you understand the fundamental processes necessary. From initial discovery to the final cleaning, we cover all the why’s and how’s, then we give you an estimated price for our services. - Inspection/ Evaluation: Our technicians have the most advanced inspection tools and techniques at their disposal. From IR cameras to state-of-the-art protimeters, rest assured that our experts are dedicated to discovery and documentation of all the contributing factors that lead to microbial damage. - Engineering/ Planning: We know it is vitally important to eliminate all the contamination on the first try, so we make sure to properly prepare with written procedures and protocols specific to each remediation worksite. This documentation identifies all potential hazards, scope of remediation, type of engineered enclosures to be constructed, environmental engineering controls, and critical workflow. - Containment: When we undertake microbial and mold remediation, we build temporary decontamination chambers to ensure that contaminants do not spread to previously unaffected areas while we work. These are generally temporary, and pressure fitted in place, held by friction to minimize potential for damage to unaffected areas. These are designed to create negative pressure in the workspace. These “chambers” range from simple single wall containments, to full scale enclosures with decon rooms, buffer rooms and anterooms. - Detail Cleaning: We finish each microbial and mold remediation job by properly labeling and disposing of any hazardous waste or non-recoverable materials. Meanwhile our final cleaning team performs a high level detail cleaning of areas adjacent to the contamination zones. These adjacent areas are addressed as extra assurance that every last surface is contaminant free. - Photographic documentation of the entire process is included, along with detailed final documentation While not always needed. There are situations we may suggest using an Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) Consultant, or Indoor Environmental Professional (IEP). This specialist is never associated with our company. They are a 3rd party consultant, certified in taking fungal air and surface samples, both pre and post remediation. Information on IAQ consultants is available through the state of MN here: https://www.health.state.mn.us/communities/environment/air/mold/selectingiaq.html) Letting toxic contaminants like mold go unchecked can cause serious health issues. This is especially true for children, people that suffer from asthma, or anyone immunocompromised.
