Wood Floor Cleaning

Today’s homes feature many beautiful surfaces, from carpet and area rugs to tile, stone, and wood floors. Wood floors are a popular choice for their appearance, durability, and long-lasting appeal. Chem-Dry offers professional cleaning services for many surfaces throughout your home, including a Wood Floor Cleaning Process designed to clean and polish wood floors and help refresh their appearance.
Wood floors need regular care to help maintain their beauty. Our Wood Floor Cleaning Process is designed for many solid hardwood and engineered wood floors, as well as select luxury vinyl tile (LVT) flooring. Like other surfaces that see regular use, wood floors can collect dirt, grime, and debris over time. Professional cleaning can help remove buildup and improve the look and feel of your floors.
The Chem-Dry Wood Floor Cleaning Process offers many benefits, including:
- Helps remove dirt, grime, dust, and everyday buildup
- Helps maintain the appearance of your floors
- Provides a professional cleaning option beyond routine mopping
- Applies polish to help refresh the look of the floor
- Adds shine to the floor surface
- Uses a controlled amount of moisture during cleaning
Why Choose Chem-Dry?
There are many home cleaning products designed for hardwood floors. While routine cleaning can help with everyday upkeep, dirt and residue may still build up over time. Periodic professional wood floor cleaning can help refresh the appearance of your floors and support regular maintenance.

The Wood Floor Cleaning Process
Inspection
- Our Wood Floor Cleaning technicians will inspect the floor and note visible scratches, blemishes, or areas of concern.
- They will also determine whether the floor appears to have polish or acrylic coating present.
- Our Wood Floor Cleaning Process is not designed to repair deep scratches, gouges, discoloration, or stains in the wood and is not intended for use on bare wood floors.
Polish and Acrylic Coating Removal
- If the technician identifies the presence of floor polish or acrylic coating, it may be removed using our Wood Floor Polish Remover as part of the service.
Cleaning
- The next step is to clean the wood floor using a professional wood floor cleaning solution designed to help remove dirt, debris, and buildup from the floor surface.
- This process helps refresh the appearance of the floor.
- An additional cleaning step may be recommended depending on the condition of the floor and the service requested.
Wood Floor Polish
- The final step is the application of our Wood Floor Polish to help highlight the beauty of the floor and wood grain. The polish also helps refresh the floor’s appearance until the next cleaning is needed.
