Wood Floor Cleaning Service
Taking care of your hardwood floors will extend the lifespan of the wood floor finish and keep them shining longer. In most cases, we recommend having your hardwood floors professionally cleaned once a year. If your hardwood floor is in a commercial or high traffic building, we recommend more frequently deep cleaning to preserve the floor’s finish. In between professional cleaning, keep your wood floor free of sand and other abrasive materials, and clean it with a damp mop regularly. Read on to learn more about why it’s important to have your hardwood floors professionally cleaned annually. We also provide Dos and Don’ts for your regular wood cleaning process.
Professional Hardwood Floor Cleaning
How is professional hardwood floor cleaning different than your routine cleaning? In a professional wood floor cleaning, we remove dirt that settles deep into cracks and crevices in your hardwood floor. Our highly trained technicians will inspect your floor to determine what type of finish you have and the best cleaning method for your specific floor. We use a high powered but gentle machine to extract dirt from the floor, and we rapid-dry the floor to prevent any water damage.
Our technicians ensure that hard to reach areas are thoroughly cleaned, so that your floor shines and is ready another year of use. For wood floor cleaning services for commercial buildings, contact us to determine how often your wood floor will need to be cleaned.
Wood Floor Cleaning
Caring for your hardwood floor is not difficult, but consistency will help preserve the floor’s finish. Here are some Dos and Don’ts for maintaining your wood floor.
Do Vacuum on a Regular Basis
We recommend daily sweeping or vacuuming in high traffic areas, and weekly sweeping or vacuuming in the rest of the house. Vacuuming helps extract dirt from small cracks and crevices.
Do Use a Recommend Cleaning Solution
Use a cleaning solution that is recommend by the floor finish company. If you can’t afford or can’t find the recommended cleaner, use plain water. If desired, add a few drops of mild soap to clean the floor.
Do Damp Mop Your Floor
Use a damp mop, rather than wet mop, to clean your floor on a weekly basis, removing dirt and residue that doesn’t come loose with vacuuming and sweeping.
Do Dry the Floor
Follow your mopping with a towel or dry mop to dry the floor.
Do Not Saturate the Floor
Excessive water will damage the floor, even if it sealed. Do not allow standing water to sit on your floor during or after cleaning. Keep your mop damp rather than wet.
Do Not Use Vinegar
Using vinegar or lemon-based cleaners can damage the finish of your hardwood floor. Avoid acidic cleaners on wood floors.
Do Not Steam Clean
Never steam clean your hardwood floor. The steam can easily damage the wood. Similarly, if you need to steam clean an area rug that you have on a hardwood floor, move the rug to a different area of the house before steam cleaning it. Do not steam clean the rug over the wood floor.
Hardwood Floor Refinishing
Hardwood floor refinishing is the process of removing an old or damaged finish, sanding, and applying new finish to leave the floor shining. We recommend hardwood floor refinishing on an as-needed basis. The amount of time your wood floor finish stays in good condition depends on a number of factors. Some finishes last 20 years, while others are shot after two years. When we refinish your wood floor, we only use commercial grade coatings for the highest quality, most durable finish. We can custom blend your wood stain to virtually any desired color, and you select the wood floor coating from a variety of gloss, flat sheen, or environmentally friendly options.
