Clean-Slate Janitorial Services (http://www.Clean-Slate.ca), a Greater Toronto Area-based professional cleaning company that specializes in commercial office cleaning, retail maintenance, floor restoration, carpet cleaning, and construction site cleanup, is weighing in on the recent cold snap and announcing its top strategy for neutralizing salt damage and corrosion on carpets and floors.

An army of salt trucks have been hitting the streets and highways in the Greater Toronto Area to combat the recent cold snap and accumulating snow. While road salt helps drivers because it melts snow and ice, it can wreak havoc on office carpets and floors, says Sam Panousis, owner and operator of Clean-Slate Janitorial Services. In fact, road salt is one of the biggest reasons why office carpets get stained and deteriorate over the winter months.

According to the City of Toronto, the annual demand for salt used to de-ice roads and sidewalks averages about 125,000 tonnes, though during the record snowfall during the winter of 20072008, the City of Toronto used 195,600 tonnes of ice. The city also budgets for around 14,000 tonnes of sand annually. When the frigid temperatures get too low, like they have this winter, road salt becomes ineffectivethats when the City of Toronto switches gear and uses beet juice, which is more environmentally friendly than road salt, but can still stain carpets. (Source: 2010 BUDGET BRIEFING NOTE, Winter Maintenance Road Salt Usage and Expenditures, City of Toronto web site, March 9, 2010; http://www.toronto.ca/budget2010/pdf/briefingnote_2010_ts_wintermain_rsue.pdf.)

No matter how careful people are, road salt gets tracked onto office and retail carpets. And when the carpet dries, businesses are left with unsightly salt stains, the heaviest build-ups appearing white and crusty, Panousis explains. What most people dont know is that road salt has a high alkaline content and, if left for a period of time, can break down the fibres, permanently damaging or destroying the carpet.

On top of road salt, he says, wet snow on office and retail carpets in the Greater Toronto Area can turn into mould, which can lead to a musty smell. Health problems associated with mould include allergies, asthma, and hypersensitivity pneumonitis.

To prevent road salt damage and mould, the office and retail carpet cleaning experts at Clean-Slate Janitorial Services recommend hiring a professional carpet cleaning company to have road salt stains removed before they cause costly damage.

It can be extremely difficult to effectively clean a carpet soaked with road salt without the proper equipment, Panousis adds. At Clean-Slate Janitorial Services, our winter rinse floor solution neutralizes salt and other contaminants that accumulate on carpets during the winter. Our winter cleaning solution also cleans hard surface flooring. Road salt can strip off urethane coating and tile floor surfaces, leaving them vulnerable to damage from moisture, dirt, and scuffs.

Nearly two years after a shoreline emergency was declared due to eroding duress at the beachfront on the southern end of Estero Island, another form of protection to a property complex adjacent to the affected area is on the way.

On Tuesday, Jan. 21, the Fort Myers Beach Town Council approved a special exception with certain conditions to allow a roughly 300-foot-long upland retaining wall seaward of the 1978 Coastal Construction Control Line in the environmentally critical zoning district to be built. The wall will be buried in front of Leonardo Arms condominiums.

"I think this is a good project and much needed in that area," said Vice Mayor Joe Kosinski. "This is designed to prevent (wash outs) from happening. I imagine even in the event of a hurricane."

BOB PETCHER To protect from any type of increased tidal flow threatening the foundation of one of the condo buildings during tropical events, Leonardo Arms applied for and received a special exception for a 300-foot-long upland retaining wall that will be buried where the sand bags sit.

Back in early 2012, Leonardo Arms association officials at 7400 Estero Blvd. reported they were concerned about recession from the erosion process caused by tropical storm waves. Gulf water migration was cited as threatening the foundation of one of the condo buildings.

After Town officials were contacted to help seek relief, Council unanimously approved a resolution to issue a Declaration of Local Shoreline Emergency from the Department of Environmental Protection. Durable sand bags were then embedded in the condo building's seawall area to act as temporary emergency protective structures from any further storm, wave or tidal activity.

That measure was only allowed temporarily. After a six-month permit, authorization to keep the sand bags in place was extended, while officials at the condominium looked into a longer-term solution. Another layer of sandbags was added during a phase II implementation.

Humiston & Moore Engineers of Naples, which was first hired for consultation reasons, began working with DEP and Town officials when the erosion problem came to light. Staff engineer Marc Damon attended the Council meeting and gave a presentation to state his client's case for an upland retaining wall.

"By 2012, there was a small inlet in front of the building, causing a lot of erosion. By that time, the shoreline had receded about 650 feet," he said.

Damon mentioned there was a recovery in the summer of 2012, but tide and current influence caused another recession.
