Our Expert Hardwood Floor Cleaning Process
1. Pre-Inspection: We begin with a detailed inspection of your hardwood floors to identify areas with heavy dirt or oil buildup. This helps us tailor our cleaning approach for maximum effectiveness.
2. Dry Debris Removal: We thoroughly vacuum the floorboards to eliminate gritty debris that could scratch the surface or interfere with the cleaning process.
3. Enzyme Pre-Treatment: A specialized enzyme solution is applied to break down concentrated dirt, oil, and grime without damaging the wood beneath.
4. Deep Cleaning: We apply our core cleaning solution and our advanced cleaning machine—to agitate and lift away embedded contaminants, restoring the floor’s natural shine.
5. Protective Finish (Optional): For added defense, we offer an optional semi-gloss protectant that shields your floors from grime and buildup, helping them stay cleaner for longer.
Why You Need Pro Hardwood Floor Cleaning
Over time, hardwood floors accumulate dirt, oils, and grime that regular sweeping and mopping simply can't remove. Professional hardwood floor cleaning goes beyond surface-level cleaning by penetrating into the fine grains and grooves of the wood.
Our process lifts out embedded contaminants without damaging the finish, not only restoring the natural beauty and luster of your floors but also extends their lifespan—saving you money on costly repairs or replacements.
With specialized equipment, expert knowledge, and safe yet effective cleaning solutions, our professional IICRC-certified cleaners can rejuvenate your floors in ways that DIY methods cannot.
Partnering with a professional cleaning company is an essential part of maintaining a truly clean, healthy, and polished home environment.
The Hidden Risk of DIY Cleaning
While it might seem convenient to clean hardwood floors with off-the-shelf products or steam mops, these methods can do more harm than good.
Excess moisture, abrasive tools, and harsh chemicals can strip the finish, cause warping, or leave behind residue that dulls the surface.
Professional cleaning from Andrews ensures the right techniques and tools are used for your specific floor type—preserving the integrity and beauty of your investment.
FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
How soon can we schedule our first cleaning?
If you're not already on a recurring plan, the best way to schedule service in advance is to book online, but if you need more urgent servicing, we recommend calling in for availability. We can typically get to your property same-day if you call before noon, however, there may be an up-charge, especially for emergency cleaning services after hours.
How often should I have my hardwood floors cleaned?
Most property owners should have their hardwood floors professionally cleaned every 12-18 months. However, this varies based on several factors from traffic level to the type of hardwood finish (polyurethane vs. oil-based finishes have different needs).
Do you offer any satisfaction guarantees or warranties?
Yes! If you're not satisfied with the result we'll do everything we can to make it right within reason, including complimentary re-treatment. However, in rare cases, there are some stains that just can't be removed completely, but we'll do our best to inform you of this during the inspection phase.
Are your technicians background-checked and insured?
Yup! When you work with Andrews, you often get to work directly with the owner. So we have true a vested interest in the end result.
How long will the entire process take from start to finish?
This will depend greatly on the square footage of the treatment area well as the severity of damage to floors. For residential hardwood floor cleaning, most homes can be completed in 2-4 hours depending on square footage and level of soiling. Commercial spaces typically require 3-8 hours based on facility size and complexity.
What is your cancellation or rescheduling policy?
We ask for 24-48 hours' notice for cancellations and rescheduling to allow time to adjust schedules and potentially fill the vacant time slot.
Are your cleaning solutions safe for children and pets?
Yes! At Andrew's we only use environmentally-friendly products that are safe for the entire family, including your furry friends.
