PCBs premier condo cleaning service

Sealing the grout can keep your grout clean for a much longer period of time on light to normal used floors. If you have a condo and you rent it out a lot do not bother sealing the grout. You are still going to need to clean the grout annually to maintain good looking grout. Expect to pay around 50 cents per square foot to clean your grout and an additional 50 cents per square foot to seal it. What it comes down to is budget and expectations. If you expect your grout to stay clean for two or three years get the grout sealed and mop with a solutions that will not remove the sealer. Bleach is bad for that matter any hard cleaner is bad. When mopping use a mild soppy water, we are walking on the floors not eating on them. If you are on a tight budget or know that you are going to clean the grout once a year do not bother spending the extra money on the sealer. I recommend to most condo owners who do the VRBO thing to not bother sealing the grout. Just use the money you save to have it cleaned again after each spring break. I promise the spring breakers are not looking at the cleanliness of the grout though they may be looking at the floor very close as they are laid out on the bathroom floor from a day of too much sun and too much fun.  We talk a lot about condos and VRBO because honestly that is our bread and butter, that said we do clean carpets, tile and grout in residential houses and businesses.

In Panama City Beach you have more than a few choices when it comes to carpet cleaners. Stanley Steamer comes to mind as does Daystar and Classic. I am sure they are all fine choices. We have used them all over the years providing our condo cleaning service and helping owner get the carpets, tile and grout cleaned. I figured out whey the owners always call us to get the job done. It is aggravating dealing with them or for that matter any maintenance service provider. Not because they are bad but generally because the whole situation is bad.  K Tori’s decided to start cleaning carpets, tile and grout and offer a maintenance service. These service have always been something we had considered doing but did not have the size to implement the services effectively.  Well we have grown and have become the premier condo cleaning service provider in Panama City Beach. We know what you are looking for when it comes to cleaning your floors because we have been hiring companies to do it for years now. What it all comes down to is this is cleaning floors and it is not rocket science. You want clean floors for a reasonable price. If something wasn’t done right the first time you expect them to make it right at no additional charge. This all sounds reasonable to us so now we clean carpets, tile and grout with the same philosophy we clean condos with. Deliver Quality and Reliability at a reasonable rate.

If you own a condo in a high rise you will want a carpet cleaner who knows there chemicals. Often in a high-rise condominium in Panama City Beach the carpet tech must bring in a portable much like the ones you see for rent except generally much bigger and stronger but not as strong as a truck-mount system. This is why it is important for your carpet cleaner to know chemicals very good. To get your carpets properly cleaned a technician using a portable must work slower and use different chemicals.

This is actually and easy question to answer. The reality is, in most VRBO’ers heads they are wording if they are going from bad to worse.  An unreliable housekeeper will cost you money no two ways about. A bad housekeeper will most likely cost you money on repeat business or a lack of it.  Can you afford to keep switching housekeepers until you find one that works well for you. Really you do not have a choice if you want any sanity left in your life.

Quality and reliability is the two most important attributes to any VRBO’er here in Panama City Beach for the reasons stated above. But changing can be a huge pain. Most come down to interview and swap linens, make a few repairs but how many times can you do this before you go nuts, broke or both. You could ask the housekeeper your interviewing “do you do good work and are you reliable” obviously they are going to say they are the best. Save yourself a headache;  get a few references and call them.

Money is always an issue when it comes to housekeeping. You want the best of everything for the least amount of money. I understand this but I also understand if a housekeeper  is charging you $50 to clean your 2 bedroom 2.5 bath condo with hall bunks and a sleeper sofa they are not going to be your partner for long, at least not at that rate. I think I just hit an important point about partners one more important than money. Lets finish the money thought. Choose your housekeeper based on quality, reliability, services offered that meet your needs and then price is last. I know this goes without saying but you are not likely going to get the same level of service from an individual that charges $50 vs a company that charges a $100.  You will likely get 70-80% of the service for half the price but can you afford 70% service in the long run. Dirty condos run customers off or they just don’t come back.  If you loose one $2000 booking that $50 per cleaning you are saving will seem like nothing.  Especially when you calculate you will have around 20 bookings a year so you would potentially save $1000 per year with the cheaper cleaner.

Obviously I am on a tangent but I do want to hit one more point. Find a partner. Your not down here so you need a trusted partner to be your eyes and ears. Someone who can take care of the things you can not.  We view ourselves as our customer partners. We are constantly growing and offering more service. We have found that most owners need reliable cleaning service that is good, a person to take care of what ever problem comes up, someone to clean the carpets and take care of some maintenance here and there.  So in short you should be shopping for us no you should be looking for a partner that you can depend on when the need arises.

We have started offering professional carpet cleaning services after researching the best equipment and chemicals for what seems like years. I just want to showoff a little demonstration of some grout we cleaned the other day; really tile. This is at the Majestic Beach Towers in Panama City Beach. The grout was not to bad but the tiles wore horrible. We tried cleaning these tiles with deck scrubbers, magic sponge mops, bleach, you name it we tried it but the dirt just would not come up. We gave the Hawkins a pretty good deal to do there two units so we would have some good bragging material.  Well without further ado here is a short two minute clip doing the bathroom.
