Many homeowners choose wood floors for their long-lasting beauty and durability. At Extreme Carpet & Tile Clean, we understand the importance of caring for your investment. We employ a unique cleaning process for wood floors, combining cleaning, sanitization, and polishing methods to keep your ground looking beautiful and new for years.
The Wood Floor Cleaning Process
Like with other types of floors, wood floors need periodic maintenance. We specifically tailored our cleaning process for engineered wood floors and solid hardwood.
Inspection
As always, we start with a thorough inspection with the homeowner to find blemishes and scratches. This will also help us determine if an acrylic coating is present; if so, the technician will need to gently remove the polish.
Our wood cleaning process is not meant to repair discolorations, stains, gouges, or deep scratches.
Deep Cleaning
Next, we use our green-certified cleaners to get deep into the floor, extracting contaminants like dirt and debris from the grain. Free from dirt, your floor will already start to look shiny and new again! We can also further add a sanitizer at this point to get rid of any other remaining germs and bacteria, ensuring your home stays healthy.
Polish
Finally, we preserve that new shine with our wood floor polish. It protects the surface until the next time you call us for a cleaning.
Benefits of Hiring a Professional
Our cleaning process increases your floor's lifespan, adds a barrier that prevents damage, and removes bacteria, pollen, pet allergens, and grime from the grains.
Of course, there are cleaning products you can buy at the store to clean a hardwood floor yourself, but it's impossible to achieve the long-term results you want. Worse, they can even cause unseen damage that promotes grime and dirt build-up over time. This is why it's best to periodically hire a professional cleaning company, like Extreme Carpet & Tile Clean.
