Clean and Wax

Clean and Wax Image 1

Professional wood floor cleaning is a necessity in the longevity of your hardwood floors. Unlike your regular sweeping and spot cleaning, a professional hardwood floor cleaning gets into the grain and removes dirt and particles that are damaging the wood.

Children and/or pets at play, those fantastic designer heels, and even sand particles from the street slowly break down your floor’s protective surface, wrecking its beautiful finish. With a professional cleaning, the wood is given new life and the luster you love is restored.

“Not only does Floors Etc. clean and finish your hardwood floors, we also notice those little imperfections and work hard to make them less noticeable.”

Tracy Burnett – General Manager

Floors Etc. Clean and Wax Process

Assess

Floors Etc. will meet with you at your home to provide full and custom evaluation of your floors. This will include letting you know of any problem areas, types of hardwoods you have, and if they can be waxed.

NOTE: Some Hardwoods have a polyurethane finish and can’t be waxed – if this is your case, we offer Clean and Spray Buff services for hardwood floors with a polyurethane finish.

  • Clean A general cleaning will be applied to lift surface dirt and dust to help prepare your hardwood floor for waxing — to get maximum cleaning and shine, this step is a must!
  • Wax Our floor wax is a highly effective product applied with an applicator pad thoroughly with our high-speed buffers for maximum penetration.
  • Cure A 15-minute dwell time is needed for floor curing and hazing. This step will greatly enhance the longevity of your hardwood floors by protecting them and improving the quality of future cleanings.
  • Buff Floors are then buffed again with soft pads to a glowing shine, restoring that warm look and elegant feel to your home’s hardwood floors once again!

Recommended Clean and Wax Schedule

Floors Etc. highly recommends establishing and maintaining a regular clean and wax schedule for your hardwood floors. We recommend cleaning and waxing as needed (once or twice a year) – especially in high traffic areas.

Benefits of having your hardwood floors waxed and buffed on a regular basis:

  • Increases resistance to stains
  • Minimizes minor scratches and imperfections
  • Preserves underlying finishes
  • Extends the life of the floor
  • Uplifts the look of a room
  • More affordable than refinishing a floor
