We are Colonial Floor Care!

We have written many times about he environmental and health benefits of natural stone and concrete flooring.

When I thought further about my last article on finding serenity the natural way, it occurred to me that bringing natural materials into your home or maintaining the existing natural materials such as marble, granite, terrazzo or concrete, is an important part of healing your home.

Many of our homes have been sick for a long while because of the use of chemically produced materials such as acrylic or polyester carpet fibers etc. Even many of the cleaning products we have been using are highly toxic- both to produce and to use. All of these materias produce high levels of toxic VOC’s (volatile organic compounds)

To help heal our homes, we need to think differently about what we put in them and what we use to maintain them. Natural stones such as marble and granite, along with terrazzo and concrete, are excellent heathy home materials. these materials require no toxic chemicals to produce or install, and they can be easily cleaned and maintained using non-toxic neutralizers or warm water and soap.

Colonial Floor Care has even developed a way to restore the surfaces of these materials without using any toxic chemicals- we use a three stage grinding process that is not only better for your floor than crystallizers, but also is completely environmentally safe.

Whether it is marble, granite, concrete or terrazzo, Colonial Floor Care can restore these surfaces, making your home beautiful, safe and healthy. If you have existing tile or carpet over terrazzo or concrete floors, Colonial Floor Care can remove these materials and remove any stains or repair any holes or cracks.

Natural stone, terrazzo and concrete floors do not emit VOC’s (volatile organic compounds) nor do they harbor dust mites or mold spores. Because of these factors, having these floors makes the air in your home substantially cleaner and healthier.

Natural stone, terrazzo and concrete can even add to your mental health. According to a recent study from the University of Rochester, communing with natutre in the outdoors, as well as creating a sense of natural settings in our living spaces, lifts our spirits and can even help us to behave better. Four studies were completed, and in each, the finding was that the more people engaged in natural settings, the more they valued community and closeness with others. The more they focused on purely man made settings, the more they valued fame and wealth. Furthermore, the researchers suggest, surrounding ones’ self with natural elements may help people relax an de-stress from the pressures of society and become more introspective.
