Hardwood, Engineered, Laminate Floor Cleaning Process
Your floors will be inspected to see what types of soiling are on your floors. We will help determine how effective a thorough cleaning will perform on your floors. There are some things that cannot be removed from cleaning, such as epoxy glues and other forms of adhesives or stains.
A professional-grade floor cleaner will be applied to a small area.
The floor will be cleaned using a cotton bonnet and floor buffing machine or an extraction process until soiling and residues are removed. This process will be repeated until all areas to be cleaned are soil and residue-free.
Hardwood Floor Finishing
Two component commercial finish waterborne hardwood floor finish is the industry’s premium finish for durability and beauty.

Wood Floor Refinishing FAQs
Is the entire process dustless?
- Dustless sanding of wood floors does not mean dust-free. Dust Containment Systems keep about 97% of the dust from becoming airborne into your home or office.
What kind of finish do you use?
We use a water-based wood floor finish with low VOC counts on our jobs. After all, our world is going green these days.
How durable is your finish?
We only use water-based finishes with the highest solids to give your hardwood floors the most extended life possible.
What if I have water damage on my hardwood floors?
If you have sustained water damage to your hardwood floors, they need to be dried as soon as possible to prevent further damage once the cause of the water damage has been identified and corrected. In many cases, water-damaged hardwood floors can be saved and refinished bringing them back to pre-loss condition if dried correctly.
We can save you thousands in repair costs by refinishing your water-damaged hardwood floors (once dried to their proper moisture content) rather than replacing them.
In some cases, water-damaged hardwood must be replaced due to excessive damage to the wood, such as warping, twisting, or rotting. In this event, a competent wood floor expert will need to replace your wood floor. Because most hardwood floor finishes and types react to exposure to UV light, it is tough to ‘spot sand’ only in the water-damaged area and blend it in with the existing floor. This is why we refinish all areas of your hardwood floor.
How do I know if I have water damage to my hardwood floor?
When wood is exposed to excessive moisture, it will ‘cup,’ meaning the edges of each plank or board will raise. This usually means that the hardwood floor still has a high Moisture Content (MC) and needs to dry until it reaches equilibrium. Once hardwood flooring has earned its proper (MC), it will usually ‘crown,’ giving it a pillowed look.
What should I use to maintain wood floors?
There are many good wood floor cleaners on the market. We recommend not using any that have wax in them. Once you have applied wax to your hardwood floors, sandless refinishing of your hardwood floors is seldom an option after that.
