Wood Floor Cleaning

Today’s homes feature many beautiful surfaces, from carpet and area rugs to tile, stone, and wood floors. Wood floors are a popular choice for their appearance, durability, and long-lasting appeal. Chem-Dry offers professional cleaning services for a variety of surfaces throughout the home, including our Wood Floor Cleaning Process designed to help clean and refresh the look of your wood floors.
Wood floors need regular maintenance to help preserve their appearance over time. Our Wood Floor Cleaning Process is designed for many solid hardwood and engineered wood floors, as well as luxury vinyl tile (LVT) type flooring. Like other surfaces that see regular use, wood floors can collect dirt, grime, and debris over time. The Chem-Dry Wood Floor Cleaning Process offers several benefits, including:
- Helps remove dirt, grime, dust, and everyday buildup
- Helps maintain the appearance of wood floors
- Provides a professional cleaning option beyond routine mopping
- Can include a polish application for added surface protection
- Adds a refreshed shine
- Uses controlled moisture during the cleaning process
Why Choose Chem-Dry?
There are many home cleaning products designed for hardwood floors. While these products can help with routine maintenance, residue, dirt, and grime may still build up over time. Periodic professional wood floor cleaning can help refresh your floors and support ongoing floor care.
The comparison below highlights differences between our Wood Floor Cleaning Process and routine mopping at home:
Chem-Dry Wood Floor Cleaning vs. DIY Mopping
| Chem-Dry Wood Floor Cleaning | DIY Mopping |
|---|---|
| Uses a professional cleaning solution designed for wood floor cleaning | Often uses household soaps, detergents, or retail floor cleaners |
| Uses professional equipment with counter-rotating brushes designed to clean textured floor surfaces | A wet mop typically cleans only the surface of the floor |
| Helps loosen and remove dirt, grime, and buildup from the floor surface | Routine mopping may leave some buildup behind |
| Uses controlled moisture during the cleaning process | Using too much water may affect certain wood floors over time |
| Uses extraction equipment to help remove loosened dirt and moisture from the floor | A mop may move some dirt across the floor while absorbing some moisture |
| Optional floor polish can be applied for a refreshed finish | Retail polish products may vary in appearance, durability, and results |
