Today's school facility maintenance should include the cleaning of the acoustical ceiling tile instead of replacement or worse yet, painting. Why you ask, because just like carpets, acoustical ceiling tile accumulate dirt, grease, dust, odors and other unsanitary pollutants which bond themselves to the acoustical ceilings through the thermal air currents causing the ceiling to become stained, unpleasant to the eye, and unhealthy if left untreated. Today these dirt's, grease and other unsanitary pollutants can be removed using a professional acoustical ceiling cleaner and cleaning techniques. Cleaning saves you money over the cost of replacement and will leave your ceiling looking like new again. Just think about it, you don't replace your carpet when it gets dirty, you clean it. Today that holds true for acoustical ceilings as well.

One example of this is Fall Creek Intermediate School, part of the Southeastern Hamilton School District located in Fishers, Indiana, where they had a well trained acoustical ceiling cleaning professional come in and clean the acoustical ceilings (which includes the T-Bars, Diffusers, sprinkler heads, speaker grills and other items that are on the ceiling) saving the cost of replacing the expensive Armstrong #1721 Mylar Humegaurd Plus (average cost of $4.50 cents per square foot just for the tile alone) acoustical ceilings and saving the school more than 12 times the amount of money over replacement, not including the cost of labor to install the ceiling, disposal, cleanup, downtime and cleaning all the other items on the ceiling, like the T-bars, diffusers, sprinklers and speaker grills, that are included in the professional cleaning of the ceiling. Not only were they able to restore the ceilings to a like new condition, but they also increased the light levels by cleaning the light fixtures as well. All this was accomplished in one day, with no mess or downtime. Another benefit of cleaning your acoustical ceilings can be the unnecessary need to dispose of your acoustical ceilings in our already over crowded landfills, thus saving the environment at the same time.
