Protective top coat layers play an important role in ensuring the beauty and longevity of your wood floors. Known also as the finish, the topcoat is a thin polyurethane coating that protects the wooden floors from environmental elements. A hardwood floor's topcoat can become dull and lose its sheen for variouss reasons. Below are the top three.

1. Dirt, grit, and grime not eliminated during normal cleaning.

Dirt and grit left behind after routine cleaning can wear out hardwood floorings' protective finish. Even when meticulously cleaned, hard-to-remove dirt, grit, and grime can remain buried in wood grains and cracks. The particles act as abrasives and with repeated foot traffic, they cause micro-scratches that damage the top coat. Professional deep cleaning will loosen and remove these offenders, and preserve its natural sheen.

2. Improper household cleaners.

Using harsh store-bought cleaners can damage the finish. The majority of cleaning products that are marketed as "for wood floors" contain harsh chemicals that are too caustic for wood floors. A pH-balanced cleaner is all that is necessary. Unfortunately, once the damage has been done, they will require sanding.

3. They are overdue for a new coat of polyurethane.

Depending on the circumstances, the protective layer on hardwood floors lasts for only three to seven years. Recognizing the signs of a worn-out top coat and taking action as soon as possible are essential. Refreshing the top coats of wood floors will ensure that they are protected from further damage and enhance their overall appearance.

To complement routine cleaning, we offer an annual hardwood floor buff and polish service. Over time dirt and grime can get trapped in the wood plank cracks and crevices. With our deep cleaning equipment, we're able to get to those hard-to-reach places. Here are some of the benefits of wood floor buffing and polishing:

1. Remove Dirt and Grime
   Wood floors can start to show signs of sheen loss. Dulling and lack of luster are inevitable, but they can be minimized with regular buffing and polishing. Buffing will remove the surface layer of dirt and debris, as well as surface stains. Polishing will restore the shine to your floors and make them look like new again.
2. Bring Out the Luster and Sheen
   Our wood floor deep cleaning method can be exactly what your floors need. By regularly buffing your floors, you’ll create a smooth surface that is less likely to collect dirt and debris. This will help to protect your floors from scratches, scuffs, and embedded staining. 
3. Prevent Contaminant Accumulation
   The top coat finish is a protective barrier but it is susceptible to hard grit and contaminants wearing it down. Regular deep scrubbing of the floors helps remove potential tiny shards of dirt so prevent further scratching.  

Regularly buffing and polishing your wood floors is one of the best ways to keep them looking their best. Not only will it remove dirt and grime but it will also prevent future damage.

Experience Our Home Hardwood Floor Cleaning Process
STEP 1:

We begin by thoroughly evaluating your floors to determine the type of flooring and the cleaning products previously used. With this information, we can create a custom cleaning solution tailored to your floor's unique needs, ensuring optimal floor care for your home.

STEP 2:

Our technicians start with a pre-vacuum to remove dry soil, followed by applying a pre-spray to break down oils and residues. We conduct multiple walkthroughs to identify hard-to-reach areas, ensuring thorough cleaning by hand when our floor scrubber can't reach.

STEP 3:

For heavily soiled floors, we employ heavy-duty cleaners. Using a professional buffer and a green pad, we agitate the floors to loosen deeply embedded dirt and extract it effectively.

STEP 4:

At this stage, we neutralize the floors, deactivating the heavy-duty cleaning solutions and preparing for the final step.

Last Step:

We lightly spray the floors with a pH-neutral, no-residue cleaner and go over them with a cotton bonnet on a 175 buffer. This process restores the original shine of your floor, leaving it looking fresh and clean.
