Here's what your neighbors are saying about us:

My husband and I could not be happier with the professional, quality service we received from Desert Sky Cleaning & Restoration. Their staff arrived at the appointed time and performed exceptionally in cleaning the carpet and tile throughout our home. Thank you! We will gladley recommend your services to all our friends and family.

Neal & Debbie Y., Mesa


We had a water leak in our kitchen from the ice maker line and it flooded our kitchen, family room, den and hallway. We were so glad when Desert Sky arrived 45 minutes later and removed all the water, set up their fans and started helping us get our life back to normal. They dried our house in two days and were even able to save our carpets. Thank you so much for all your hard work!

Helpful Hints..."TO MAKE YOUR STONE CARE EASIER."

  • NEVER use vinegar. acid based cleaners or harsh abrasive cleansers.
  • Interior and exterior walk-off mats at major entrances are a must. Don't forget the garage door!
  • Stone floors should be dust mopped more often, and wet mopped less often. Dirt and grit cause the most ware; therefore, eliminating them is best for your floor. (Over wet-mopping can result in soiling the grout and lower areas in the stone.)
  • When using a dust mop head with a non-oily residue treatment, this will help attract and hold dust. (Can be purchased at any janitorial supply store.)
  • When grout becomes soiled, flood mop floors with neutral cleaner, then scrub grout and tile with a soft-bristled brush, pick up water with mop.
  • Use leather pieces on the bottom of chairs and stools that are moved frequently. (Scrap leather can be purchased at shoe repair stores. Cut to fit and glue on the bottom of chair legs.)
  • Chairs with rollers should be avoided on some stones. (travertine, limestone, and marble)
  • When severe deposit rings build up in toilets, use pumus stones and rub away. (They can be purchased at any janitorial supply stores.)
  • When cleaning heavily soiled areas, apply cleaning product and let dwell for a few minutes. This allows the agents in the cleaner to do its job, making your job easier.
