When you sweep or mop your hardwood floors you aren't removing all dirt and grime that attaches to the surface.  Old wax and polish on hardwood floors have to be removed by professional with the proper equipment and stripping solution that's not sold over the counter.  Our specialist use a Karcher floor scrubbing machine to remove old wax and polish on your hardwood floors.  The Karcher machine can be used for cleaning as well or we can use our 175 buffing machine.

What will over the counter polishes and waxes do to your floors over time?

Over the counter polishes and waxes aren't good for your hardwood or plank floors.  You will notice over time that the wax or polish will start to peel, fade and become discolored.  Some customers believe they can fix this by applying more wax or polish on-top of the old polish. In the two pictures below we removed layers of polish in the family room of a single family home. The floors may appear dull after wax removal and cleaning.  Applying polyurethane, urethane or a professional polish will rejuvenate your floors and bring back that shine.

The best solution for your hardwood floors is for our technicians to apply polyurethane onto your floors. Polyurethane provides protection to your floors and customers can choose between the following four different sheens: matte, satin, semi-gloss and high gloss. The great benefit of polyurethane is that it can last 7 to 10 years.  Customers are responsible for hiring a moving company to remove furniture off their floors if they want the entire hardwood area refinished.
