Transform your home with clean and shiny wood floors that radiate spaciousness, cosiness, elegance, and beauty. We understand the importance of maintaining your solid wood, parquet, or engineered wood floors to perfection. Our tailored cleaning methods and maintenance treatments ensure your floors look pristine and endure for years to come.

Effective Cleaning Techniques

Experience the simplicity and efficiency of our recommended wood floor cleaning methods:

Initial Cleaning: Start by sweeping or vacuuming to remove dust and larger dirt particles, using a soft-bristled broom or a suitable hard floor attachment.
Mopping: Employ a slightly damp mop (avoid soaking) with warm water for routine cleaning. For stubborn dirt, add a few drops of our specially formulated wood floor cleaning product with a neutral pH to protect your floor's finish.
Surface Care: Ensure you mop only surfaces with intact finishes. If the finish is worn or absent, excess water and cleaning products can seep into the wood, potentially causing warping.

Understanding Finishes and Maintenance

Wood floors are often finished with either polyurethane-based or penetrating sealants like wax and oil-based finishes:

Polyurethane Finishes: These finishes provide a glossy, durable layer that safeguards your floor against wear and tear, ensuring long-lasting protection and a shiny appearance.
Penetrating Sealants: These finishes penetrate the wood, fortifying it from within. They require specialized care to maintain their protective qualities over time.

Effective Stain Removal Techniques

Even the toughest stains on real wood floors can be managed with our expert tips:

Stain Removal: Treat stubborn stains with a few drops of rubbing alcohol, gently rubbing the affected area. Follow up with polishing and buffing to restore a uniform surface. For persistent stains, professional sanding and refinishing may be necessary.

Implementing a Regular Cleaning Routine

Maintain the beauty of your wood floors with a consistent cleaning schedule:

Weekly Cleaning: Vacuum and mop your floors at least once a week to keep them looking their best.
No-Shoes Policy: Encourage household members and guests to wear indoor slippers to minimize dirt and prevent scratches and dents caused by outdoor footwear.
