Hardwood that looks rich again — without damaging the finish.
Dust mopping isn't enough. Fine grit acts like sandpaper under shoes. We clean and condition finished hardwood so it looks rich again without flooding the boards or stripping the finish.
The problem before T.E.G
Dirty water and harsh products dull wood fast.
Steam mops and excess water can swell boards and cloud the finish. Grocery-store cleaners leave residue that attracts more dirt. Over time floors look gray even when you clean weekly.
Professional hardwood cleaning uses controlled moisture and the right chemistry for sealed wood.
Our method
Clean for wood — not for tile
We remove loose grit first, then clean with products and methods suited to finished hardwood. No standing water. Optional conditioning where appropriate to restore depth of color.
Grit removal first
Abrasive soil is lifted before it scratches under the pad.
Controlled moisture
No flooding — finish and joints stay protected.
Residue-free clean
No sticky film that re-attracts dirt.
Optional condition
Restore richness on worn high-traffic paths when suitable.

What we don't do
We don't sand or refinish floors — that's a separate trade. We deep-clean finished hardwood so it looks its best between refinishes. Unfinished or waxed floors need different care; tell us the finish type when you book.

Hardwood cleaning questions
Can engineered hardwood be cleaned?
Many finished engineered floors can be cleaned with controlled moisture. The wear layer and finish condition matter—tell us the floor type when you book.
What about waxed or specialty finishes?
Waxed and some specialty finishes need different care than modern polyurethane finishes. Share the finish type so we do not use the wrong approach.
How often should hardwood floors be professionally cleaned?
It depends on traffic and soil. Homes with heavy foot traffic or pets may benefit from periodic professional cleaning between routine dust mopping.
What should be avoided on hardwood?
Standing water, steam mops that over-wet joints, and residue-heavy cleaners that leave a film. Those are common causes of dull or damaged finishes.
Do you sand or refinish floors?
No. We deep-clean finished hardwood between refinishes. Sanding and refinishing are separate trades.
What about tile in the same home?
Tile and grout are a different service. See tile & grout cleaning when those floors need attention.
