Professional Wood Floor Deep Cleaning


We are excited and proud to introduce our Wood Floor Deep Cleaning Services in both Johnson County and Hood County.

Wood floors need regular maintenance to maintain their beauty and durability. Our Wood Floor Cleaning Process is specifically designed for solid hardwood and engineered wood floors as well as luxury vinyl tile (LVT) type flooring. Like other surfaces that see regular use, dirt, grime and debris build up over time that can damage wood floors as well as allergens and bacteria that can compromise home and family healthy.

WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A VIRUS AND A BACTERIA?

In this time of uncertainty and stress from the current pandemic, keeping our homes healthy can feel overwhelming. Viruses, contagions, bacteria and other terms can seem confusing. A little knowledge can go a long way towards helping us cope and provide peace of mind that we can continue to keep our homes safe. So to help, we have put together this infographic comparing bacteria and viruses, and the differences between them. 

Check it out to get the science straight, and to stop your stress about sanitizing and disinfecting, read about the Sanitizing & Disinfecting services Johnson County Chem-Dry provides to help make your home healthier and safer for the entire family.

What's the Difference Between Viruses and Bacteria Infographic by Chem-Dry

VIRUSBACTERIA
Not a living organismLiving organisms
Submicroscopic — range from 0.02 to 0.25 micron (a micron is one millionth of a meter)Much larger than viruses — about 0.4 micron
Only grow and reproduce inside of the host cells that they infect. When outside of living cells, viruses are dormant — this is why they need a living cell in order to “live”Consist of a single living cell than can generate energy, make food, move, and reproduce — this is why they can live in places such as soil, water, plants, and the human body
