Think Clean. Think Pristine.

After awhile, no matter how many times you mop your floor yourself, it may look dirty and worn. This is a sign that you need to hire hardwood floor services to perform hardwood floor deep cleaning. Deep cleaning is done by professionals who use different machines and cleaners to deep clean the hardwood and remove grime and residue that may be trapped in the grain of the hardwood, leaving your floor looking dirty. However, not every hardwood floor service is the same. Here are three important questions that you should ask as you look to hire a professional like those at Leo's Holland Floor Maintenance.

Do You Carry Insurance? 

One of the most important questions that you need to ask before hiring a professional for any hardwood floor services, including hardwood floor cleaning, is whether the company carries insurance. No matter how amazing a company is, mistakes can occur. They may mistake your type of hardwood floor for another type and use the wrong cleaners, or they may use a cleaning machine that is too abrasive for your floor. Commercial insurance helps to pay to repair any mistakes or accidents that occur during the cleaning process. 

What Are You Looking at While Inspecting the Floor? 

Prior to a professional cleaning your floor, they will have to inspect your floor. Different companies are looking at different things when they inspect your floor. Some of the things that a company should be inspecting your floor for include seeing what type of hardwood floor you have, seeing if you have a coating or wax on the floor, and determining the condition of the floor. All of these factors affect how the floor should be cleaned and what cleaning products and tools should be used, so ensure the company you are hiring inspects for each of these items. 

What Are the Steps Involved in Your Hardwood Floor Cleaning Process?

Lastly, ask the company what steps they follow when cleaning your hardwood floor. They should start by removing any waxes or coating from your floor. They will then begin the deep cleaning process. From there, the steps that are followed can vary. Some may sanitize and disinfect the wood. Some may polish or wax the floor. Or some may use a microfiber cloth just to touch up the floor and allow you to finish up the process. Always ask what steps a particular company follows. 

Hardwood floor cleaning can remove dirt, grime, and residue that are trapped within your hardwood that you are unable to remove by cleaning your hardwood floor yourself. If you have tried to clean the floor and it still looks dirty immediately after cleaning it, then it is time to call in a professional to help you. Asking the right questions can help you to find a hardwood floor service who knows how to properly clean your floor and can leave it looking its best.
