Frequently Asked Questions
A Little Flooring Humor
Because waiting for floors to dry shouldn't feel like an eternity!
Why Professional Hardwood Floor Cleaning Matters
Regular mopping and sweeping keeps surface dirt at bay, but over time, grime, polish buildup, and residue from household cleaners embed themselves into the finish — dulling the surface and accelerating wear. Professional hardwood floor cleaning removes what regular cleaning can't, using pH-neutral, finish-safe solutions and professional equipment that won't damage your floors.
Denton's professional cleaning service is designed for:
- Floors that look dull despite regular cleaning
- Floors with sticky or cloudy residue from wax, oil soaps, or steam mopping
- Post-renovation cleanup where fine dust has settled into the grain
- Annual or semi-annual deep cleaning maintenance
What We Use — and What We Don't
Many homeowners unknowingly damage their hardwood finish with the wrong products. Here's what sets our cleaning approach apart:
What we use
- pH-neutral hardwood floor cleaners formulated for your finish type (water-based, oil-based, or hard wax oil)
- Low-moisture application — never wet-mopping or steam
- Microfiber pads that lift debris without scratching
- Finish-safe buffing for high-traffic areas
What we never use
- Steam mops — moisture and heat penetrate seams and cause cupping and warping
- Oil soaps (Murphy's Oil Soap) — leave a residue that builds up over time and dulls finish
- Vinegar or acidic cleaners — degrade polyurethane finishes
- Abrasive pads — scratch finish surfaces
Cleaning vs. Screen & Recoat vs. Refinishing
| Professional Cleaning | Screen & Recoat | Full Refinishing | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Best for | Embedded dirt, dull finish, residue buildup | Light scratches, worn finish | Deep scratches, stains, bare wood |
| Sanding | None | Light abrasion only | Full sand |
| Cost | $ | $1–3/sq ft | $3–8/sq ft |
| Time | Half day | 1 day | 2–5 days |
| Result | Clean, restored appearance | Fresh protective coat | Like-new surface |
