Deep Cleaning Hardwood Floor
Albuquerque Steamaway Carpet Cleaning has been cleaning hard floors since 2006. Deep cleaning hardwood floors goes far beyond the capabilities of your mop or broom that simply moves the dirt around. Our wood floor cleaning removes ground in dirt from cracks and crevices that is dulling your hardwood floors. Not only does our hardwood floor cleaning result in brighter floors that are impressive to look at, it also improves air quality and circulation in your home. After a thorough deep clean, we restore the pH balance to your floor with a professional grade wood cleaner, which removes any remaining dirt and residue. Our entire cleaning process is non-toxic and low-odor.
Hardwood Floor Care Tips
– Sweep or vacuum regularly. Avoid using wax, oil soap, silicone based and other industrial household cleaners as they can compromise the integrity of your hardwood surfaces and make cleaning more difficult.
– Blot spills right away.
– Place indoor and outdoor mats at entryways.
– Place area rugs in high traffic areas but avoid rubber backed rugs and rugs with poor ventilation.
– Try to maintain consistent humidity levels in your home. This will prevent your hardwood floors from shrinking, swelling and cracking.
– Avoid deep scratches by trimming pet’s nails, lifting as opposed to dragging heavy furniture and not wearing high heels on your wood flooring.
– Schedule hardwood floor cleaning with Albuquerque Steamaway Carpet Cleaning once or twice a year.
How Hardwood Floors Get Dirty
The cleaning chemicals you use could be most to blame. Hardwood floors also get dirty due to foot traffic and bad ventilation that produces and allow dirt and grime to settle in the floor. Pets are also to blame. All in all, floors are bound to get dirty.
To ensure your hardwood floors are clean and look great all of the time, you must have a good and consistent cleaning routine. You also need to use recommendable products that don’t leave residue on the floor that attracts dirt.
How Often Should My Hardwood Floor Be Cleaned?
The frequency of cleaning is dictated by many factors. For instance, how much of your hardwood flooring is exposed (without rugs or carpets). This definitely plays a big role on the amount of exposure to dirt and debris that your hardwood floor endures. The foot traffic also dictates frequency. For instance, hardwood floors that receive heavy foot traffic should be cleaned more often than those in sections with less traffic.
We recommend mopping your hardwood floor weekly and getting a professional deep-clean 2 times a year. However, sweeping should be done more frequently, daily if need be. The weekly mopping recommendation applies to high-traffic areas without carpets or rugs. Low traffic spots can be cleaned less frequently.
Several Reasons Why You Should Hire a Professional Hardwood Floor Company
