Hardwood

Hardwood floor cleaning and protection without the dust.

Intensive cleaning that lifts embedded soil, followed by an optional finish protector that restores a uniform sheen. No sanding, no dust, low odor.

Hardwood floor cleaning

Using our intensive cleaning system we can remove embedded soil from your hardwood floors that regular mopping and maintenance simply can’t reach.

The process is designed for occupied homes. There’s no dust, no mess, low odor, and fast drying time. Most floors can be walked on the same day.

Sheen restoration & protection

After intensive cleaning, we can apply a hardwood finish protector to restore a uniform sheen across your floor. This combined maintenance system extends the life of your existing finish and keeps your floors looking like the day they were installed.

We can match the sheen to the rest of your home, whether that’s matte, satin, or semi-gloss, so the cleaned area blends naturally with adjacent rooms.

Why our process

  • No sanding, no dust
  • Low odor, fast drying
  • Sheen matched to your existing finish
  • Painless for occupied homes
  • Extends the life of your current floor

FAQ

Questions we get asked most

Is this the same as refinishing my floors?

No, and that is the point. Refinishing means sanding to bare wood: dust, disruption, and days without the room. Our process cleans the existing finish and restores a uniform sheen, which is a practical alternative for floors whose finish is dull or soiled rather than worn through.

How long before I can walk on the floors?

Normally the same day. Our cleaning and sheen restoration is low odor and fast drying. We will give you the exact wait before we start, and we plan the sequence so you are not stranded on the wrong side of a wet floor.

Will the new sheen match the rest of my house?

We match sheen to the existing floors as part of the job. If a room has been recoated or repaired at a different sheen level, we will point that out at the estimate so there are no surprises when the light hits it.

How often should hardwood floors be professionally cleaned?

Every one to two years for most homes. Routine dust-mopping handles the surface, but grit and residue build up in the finish over time. Cleaning and recoating on a schedule is what keeps you out of a full refinish.
