Hardwood Floor Cleaning

Hardwood and laminate floors add a classic, timeless beauty to your home, but thoroughly cleaning them can be a challenge.  They require regular cleaning and upkeep and keeping your wood floors clean is important for maintaining their appearance, durability and sanitation. Luckily, there are a number of wood floor cleaners available that can help you do just that.


Look for a wood floor cleaner like Bona Wood Floor Cleaner that is specifically designed for hardwood floors. Bona is gentler than all-purpose or harsh chemical cleaners and will not strip away the finish on your floor.


Also, look for the best mop for wood floors to do the job. In particular, we recommend an O-Cedar Mop. A microfiber mop is the best way to apply the cleaner as this will ensure an even application without leaving behind residue or streaks.


Additionally, be sure to use lukewarm water when dampening the mop as hot water can damage many types of hardwood surfaces over time. Cleaning and mopping work fine to a point, but eventually you need something more intensive.


Fortunately, the best way to clean wood floors is to use a pro like IDEAL Carpet Cleaning. We have a comprehensive system designed to thoroughly clean—and even restore—your hardwood floors and laminate floors to their original beauty.  All of our laminate and hardwood floor cleaning services are low-odor, non-toxic, and completely dust-free.
