Restore the shine and extend the life of your hardwood floors with our professional deep-cleaning service. Using Bona Certified products and commercial-grade equipment, we remove what regular mopping cannot -- giving your floors a fresh, revitalized appearance in just one day.
We begin by inspecting your floors to identify the type of finish, assess the level of buildup, and check for any areas that may need special attention or might actually require refinishing rather than cleaning. This ensures we apply the right treatment.
We thoroughly vacuum and dust-mop the entire floor to remove loose dirt, dust, pet hair, and debris. This prevents scratching during the wet-cleaning phase and allows the cleaning solution to work directly on the embedded grime.
Using Bona's professional-grade, pH-neutral cleaning solution, we apply a controlled amount to the floor surface. This formula is specifically designed for hardwood finishes -- it breaks down embedded dirt, old cleaning product residue, and grime without stripping or damaging the finish.
Our commercial-grade floor machine works the cleaning solution into the grain and texture of the finish, agitating and lifting deeply embedded contaminants that hand mopping cannot reach. The machine's gentle pad system cleans aggressively without scratching.
We extract the dirty solution from the floor, removing the dissolved grime and leaving a clean, residue-free surface. The floor dries quickly, and the immediate difference in appearance is often striking -- as if the floor has been refinished.
For floors that need an extra boost, we can apply a Bona refresher coat -- a thin layer of protective polish that fills in micro-scratches, restores sheen, and adds an additional layer of protection. This extends time between full refinishing and keeps floors looking their best.
Dirt and grime act like sandpaper under foot traffic, gradually wearing down your floor's finish. Regular professional cleaning removes these abrasive particles, significantly extending the time between costly refinishing projects and adding years to your floor's life.
Over time, cleaning product residue, foot traffic oils, and airborne particles create a dull film on your floors. Our deep cleaning strips away this buildup to reveal the original clarity and sheen of your finish. The difference is visible immediately.
Hardwood floors harbor allergens, dust mites, pet dander, and bacteria in the grain texture and along board edges. Professional deep cleaning removes these contaminants more effectively than vacuuming alone, contributing to better indoor air quality for your family.
Professional cleaning costs a fraction of what refinishing does. By investing in regular deep cleaning, you delay the need for refinishing and keep your floors looking great year-round. It is one of the smartest maintenance investments a homeowner can make.
Still not sure? Schedule a free consultation. We will assess your floors in person and give you an honest recommendation -- even if it means suggesting the less expensive option.
Only use cleaning products specifically formulated for hardwood floors. Avoid vinegar, ammonia, steam mops, and all-purpose cleaners -- they can dull the finish, leave residue, or cause damage over time. We recommend Bona Hardwood Floor Cleaner for daily use.
Dirt and grit act like sandpaper under foot traffic. Sweep or vacuum with a hardwood-safe attachment at least twice a week, and more often in high-traffic areas. This single habit does more to protect your floors than anything else.
Apply adhesive felt pads to the bottom of all furniture legs -- chairs, tables, sofas, beds, and anything else that sits on or moves across your floors. Replace pads every 6 to 12 months as they wear down and collect grit.
Standing water is hardwood's worst enemy. Wipe up spills, pet water bowls, and tracked-in rain or snow promptly. The faster you address moisture, the less chance it has to seep past the finish and into the wood.
Place mats at all exterior doors to trap dirt, sand, and moisture before they reach your floors. Use mats without rubber backings on hardwood, as rubber can trap moisture and discolor the finish.
Hardwood performs best when indoor humidity stays between 35% and 55%. Use a humidifier in winter and a dehumidifier or air conditioning in summer to prevent excessive expansion and contraction that can cause gaps, cupping, or buckling.
Regular mopping cleans the surface but cannot reach deep-seated dirt, old cleaning product residue, and grime embedded in the wood grain and finish texture. Our professional cleaning uses commercial-grade Bona equipment and pH-neutral solutions that penetrate deeper, dissolve buildup, and extract contaminants that mopping leaves behind. The difference is immediately visible.
We recommend professional deep cleaning every 12 to 18 months for most homes. Households with pets, young children, or heavy foot traffic may benefit from cleaning every 8 to 12 months. Regular professional cleaning extends the time between refinishing, saving you significant money in the long run.
No. Our Bona Certified cleaning products are specifically formulated for hardwood floor finishes. They are pH-neutral, non-abrasive, and free of harsh chemicals. The process cleans without stripping, dulling, or compromising the existing polyurethane finish.
Most professional floor cleaning projects are completed in a single day, often in just a few hours depending on square footage. You can walk on the floors within about an hour after cleaning is complete. If an optional refresher coat is applied, drying time is typically 1 to 2 hours.
For the best results, we recommend clearing as much furniture as possible from the rooms being cleaned. We can work around large, heavy pieces if needed, but the more floor area we can access, the more thorough and consistent the results will be. We will discuss logistics during your consultation.
A Bona refresher coat is a thin layer of protective polish applied after deep cleaning. It fills in fine micro-scratches, evens out the sheen, and adds an extra layer of protection to your existing finish. It is not a full refinish -- think of it as a protective top coat that extends the life of your current finish and makes your floors gleam.
