EXPERTISE
Deep Cleaning and Recoating
For Lightly Soiled Wooden Floors
Over time, wooden floors can accumulate soiling, dirt, and stains that regular cleaning can’t remove. Our deep cleaning and recoating service is for lightly soiled floors. It helps refresh their look and adds polish or maintenance oil protection. This process removes ingrained grime and applies a fresh protective finish, bringing the surface back to life. However, a different wood floor restoration approach might be more suitable if wear is more significant.
- Suitable for lightly soiled floors
- Deep cleaning removes built-up surface soiling and stains
- Recoating adds durability and revitalises the appearance

Buffing and Polishing
For Moderately Worn Wooden Floors
Our light buffing and recoating service is great for floors that are in good shape. It works well for floors with light scratches and some dirt stuck in the finish. By carefully smoothing the surface and adding a new coat, we refresh your floors and make them last longer. This quick and efficient process avoids the need for sanding, saving time and maintaining the integrity of the wood. Occasionally the floor might be beyond the point of cleaning or buffing, and full sanding is required.
- Ideal for lightly to mid-worn or dull floors
- Buffing smooths minor imperfections
- Recoating restores lustre and protects the finish

FAQs
FAQs About Wood Floor Cleaning in London
Why should I have my wood floors professionally cleaned?
Professional wood floor cleaning removes deep dirt, grime, and stains that regular household cleaning can’t reach. It also helps maintain the wood’s natural beauty and prolongs its life by using the right techniques and products. If you want to know why regular maintenance is so important, we wrote a short blog post about it. It’s worth a read.
Will professional cleaning damage my wood floors?
No, our professional cleaning process is designed specifically for wood floors. We use non-abrasive, eco-friendly products that gently clean without damaging the wood or its finish.
Do you use eco-friendly cleaning products?
Absolutely. We focus on using eco-friendly and non-toxic cleaning products. These products are safe for your home, family, and pets. They also clean and protect your wood floors effectively.
What are the benefits of professional wood floor cleaning?
Professional cleaning does more than just look good. It improves air quality by removing allergens. It also helps your finish last longer and brings back the wood’s natural shine. It also helps prevent long-term damage by eliminating grime that can cause micro-abrasions.
How long does the wood floor cleaning process take?
The time required depends on the size of the area and the condition of the floors. We complete most jobs within a day. We’ll provide a detailed estimate during your consultation.
Can I walk on my floors immediately after cleaning?
Yes, you can typically walk on the floors right after cleaning. If you use a topical coating, let the floors dry completely for 1-2 hours. Then, you can replace rugs or heavy furniture.
Will my floors need to be refinished after cleaning?
Not necessarily. If your floors are still in good condition, cleaning alone can restore their beauty. However, if there is significant wear and tear, we may recommend refinishing to bring them back to life.
Do you offer any guarantees for your wood floor cleaning service?
Yes, we offer a satisfaction guarantee for all of our services. Should you find the results less than satisfactory, we will gladly address any concerns until you are fully satisfied.
Can you remove stains from my wood floors?
Yes, we can remove most common stains from wood floors; however, it’s important to note that cleaning has its limitations. For more stubborn stains, a more intensive approach like floor sanding may be necessary to eliminate them fully.
What’s the best way to clean scratched or scuffed wooden floors?
Minor scratches can often be buffed out and sealed with a new protective coat. This is part of our light buffing and recoating service. For deeper scratches, sanding may be more effective.
Is it safe to steam clean wood or laminate floors?
No. Steam cleaning is too harsh for wood and laminate. It can force moisture into seams and cause warping or delamination. We use safe, low-moisture techniques that are far more suitable.
Do you clean laminate wood floors as well?
Yes. We clean laminates using specialised, moisture-controlled methods that protect against swelling and surface wear. While laminate doesn’t absorb finishes like real wood, we can dramatically improve its appearance.
How do you clean engineered wood floors without damaging them?
Engineered floors require a gentle touch. We use low-moisture cleaning and pH-neutral products to remove grime without compromising the top layer. Our method enhances the look and durability without the need for sanding.
Can you clean parquet floors without damaging the blocks?
Yes. We take special care with parquet flooring. We use gentle tools and low-moisture methods to clean the detailed patterns. Our service includes optional protective recoating to preserve the finish.
How do I maintain my wood floors after professional cleaning?
We’ll provide personalised aftercare instructions, including approved products and cleaning methods. Regular sweeping, dry mopping, and avoiding harsh chemicals will help keep your floors looking their best between professional visits.
How often should wood floors be cleaned?
For most homes in London, we suggest cleaning wood floors by a professional every 6 to 12 months. This depends on foot traffic, pets, and how you use your home. However, after we complete a job, we send out regular reminder emails prompting you to check your floors for signs of wear. These include tailored instructions based on the type of finish used — whether lacquered, oiled, or hardwaxed.
With regular DIY care and our recommended products, many clients can wait several years between professional cleanings. If you use good finishing products and care for the floor, it can last 5 to 10 years. After that, it may need professional help again. Maintenance cleaning is usually better than deep cleaning. To learn more, read our blog on Maintenance Cleaning vs Deep Cleaning. Regular cleaning prevents damage and keeps your floor finish in top condition.
