Hardwood Floor Cleaning
What is Hardwood Steam Cleaning?
Professional hardwood floor cleaning is a specialized service that uses low-moisture steaming, high-powered equipment to deep clean and sanitize sealed wood floors. Unlike DIY mopping, professionals extract deeply embedded dirt and grime without the risk of water damage.
Our 7 Step Process of Hardwood Floor Cleaning
Our hardwood floor cleaning process involves several key stages:
Inspection: Technicians first inspect the floor's condition and identify the floor type (solid or engineered wood, etc.) to determine the appropriate cleaning method and check for any pre-existing damage.
Debris Removal: The area is vacuumed or swept to remove all loose dirt, dust, and large debris, preventing the particles from scratching the floor during the deep cleaning phase.
Steam Cleaning / Spot Treatment: Start steam cleaning the floors which will effectively remove dirt and tough grime from the crevices of the wood, this process will also remove stains on high-traffic areas
Deep Cleaning: Specialized equipment is used to agitate the floor's surface with a minimal-moisture cleaning solution.
Hand Cleaning: Edges and hard-to-reach corners are meticulously cleaned by hand using a microfiber cloth and the hardwood cleaning solution.
Protective Finish Application (Optional): A professional-grade wood floor polish or protective top coat may be applied to restore shine and add a layer of protection against future wear and tear.
Final Inspection: A final walkthrough is performed with the client to ensure satisfaction and provide instructions for proper care.
Top 7 Benefits of Hardwood Steam Cleaning
- Chemical-Free Cleaning: Steam cleaners use only water, eliminating the need for harsh chemical cleaners that can leave residues, harm the finish, or pose health risks to family and pets.
- Effective Sanitization: The high temperature of the steam (often above 200°F) effectively kills up to 99.9% of germs, bacteria, viruses, mold, and fungi on the floor's surface, providing a hygienic clean that traditional mopping often misses.
- Deep Cleaning Power: Hot steam penetrates into fine cracks and the pores of sealed wood, loosening tough dirt, grease, and sticky stains that are embedded deep within the surface.
- Allergen and Odor Elimination: It effectively eliminates common household allergens like dust mites, pollen, and pet dander, which improves indoor air quality. It also helps remove pet and other unwanted odors from the floor.
- Quick Drying Time: Steam cleaning uses less water than traditional mopping, so floors dry in minutes, reducing the risk of water damage (like warping or buckling) and slip hazards.
- Environmentally Friendly: By using only water and washable mop pads, it is a sustainable cleaning method that minimizes the environmental impact of chemical production and disposable products.
- Restores Shine: Steam cleaning removes built-up grime and chemical residues left by other cleaning methods, which can revitalize the wood's finish and restore its natural shine.
