Benefits of Cleaning a Ceiling

• More cost effective than replacement
• Prevent buildup of unsanitary pollutants that cause sick building syndrome
• Regain acoustic and fire rating
• Regain light reflection value
• Positively enhance your working and living environment

The plain fact is, in time, ceilings and walls become discolored and end up leaving customers and employees alike with a poor impression of your business. From UV rays and water leaks to grease stains and nicotine, removal of discolorations can be done quickly and cost-effectively.

Ceilings are a trap for carbon monoxide, oils, grease, smoke, nicotine and carbon. They provide a breeding ground for bacteria and mold. These factors along with other unsanitary pollutants bond to amino and fatty acids to create the sick building syndrome.

ANS's cleaning system breaks down and dissolves these substances, returning your ceiling surface to a like-new condition. In addition to the ceiling tiles being deodorized and sanitized, they regain their acoustic, fire rating, and light reflection values. Your working and living environment is positively enhanced.

The Process

Using our 50 psi spray system, we apply a cleaning solution to your tiles while they are in place. This cleaner acts to break down dirt molecules on contact.

Once applied, the solution works by emulsifying various contaminates on the surface and inside the pores of the ceiling. On porous ceiling tile, the contaminates are broken down and dissolved. On non-porous surfaces like walls and vinyl tile, the dirt is also broken down and easily wiped off using extension poles with attachments. This process is great for:

• Cleaning traditional drop ceiling tiles and acoustical ceilings.
• Suspended ceilings and popcorn ceilings.
• Textured tile, glacier tile, and vinyl tile.
• Wall surfaces, including drywall, plaster, wallpaper, and brick.
• Fire and smoke damaged ceiling tiles.
• Cleaning most painted surfaces.
• Surfaces requiring grease stain removal and wall cleaning.

Our team arrives at the agreed upon time, usually during your non-business hours. Exposed surfaces and work areas are carefully covered with plastic, so that the cleaning solution is applied only where intended. The cleaner is applied with spray wands and removed with sponges and towels on extension poles. The entire process is usually completed in a few hours. In general, ANS can clean 1000 square feet of ceiling in one hour. Our process is non-toxic and OSHA and USDA approved.

PosiShield™

There are two problems that are often caused by common cleaning chemicals: first is the adaptive nature of microorganisms to chemical attack. These microbes are becoming increasingly more difficult to destroy. The surviving microbes begin reproducing rapidly. Secondly, chemical residues and dead microbes become a food source for new microbes to feed upon and grow exponentially.

PosiShield™ is totally water based. Once applied to a surface (porous or non-porous) the PosiShield™ molecule bonds strongly with the surface. A PosiShield™ molecule sets up molecular spikes similar to a "bed of nails". Microbes that land on this "bend of nails" are impaled, rupturing the cell and causing the demise of the microbe. These microbial swords are about one-thousandth the width of a human hair. No poisons or toxic chemicals are utilized that can cause mutation or adaptive changes in the microbes. The end result is a reduced risk of cross contamination and microbial growth. The cleaning process is improved and enhanced over an extended period of time.

PosiShield™ lasts 90 days, not 90 minutes like Lysol®.
