Hardwood floor cleaning

Hardwood floor cleaning for commercial premises

Hardwood floor cleaning is a low-moisture clean for sealed commercial wood in offices, hotels and shops. It lifts grit and marks without sanding the boards. Book it with the quote form or WhatsApp when the finish is intact and the floor looks tired, not when the lacquer has worn through to bare timber.

Grey traffic lanes, sticky spots and white rings from wet shoes are cleanable when the seal is whole. Black gaps full of grit need a vacuum, not a flood of water.

How it works

Machine cleaning a commercial floor
  1. Look at the floor We check the surface, how soiled it is, and when the room can close, then price the visit from that.
  2. Clean that surface A scrub, extraction or degrease matched to the floor. Dirty water is taken up, not pushed along with a mop.
  3. Finish only if it belongs Polish or seal goes on vinyl and linoleum that need it. Safety floors, worn-through timber and peeling resin do not get a shine coat.

What the quote is based on

Quotes follow square metres, soil, access and whether we work while you are closed. A usual UK guide is about £1.50–£3.50 per m² for a machine scrub, £3–£6 per m² for a deep scrub, and £8–£15 per m² when a vinyl or linoleum floor needs strip and seal. Stone and heavy grease sit at the top of that range. Send the form or WhatsApp for a figure on your floor.

Prep

Lift rugs and small furniture. Point out any board that already moves or any recent water leak.

Aftercare

Felt the chair feet. A damp mop with a wood cleaner is enough day to day. Standing water pushes into the joints and raises the grain.

How long it lasts

A sealed commercial wood floor stays even if grit is kept off it. Grit is what cuts the lacquer. Once the timber is bare in a path, cleaning cannot put the finish back.

DIY versus a machine

Steam and vinegar open the grain and cloud the lacquer. Oil soaps leave a film that then attracts dirt.

Wrong job

Floor sanding, gap filling and new lacquer are a separate trade. Flood-damaged wood needs a drying company before anyone cleans it.

Questions

How do I book hardwood floor cleaning?

Use the quote form or WhatsApp with the floor type, approximate square metres and the hours the area can be empty. We reply with a visit plan and a price.

What changes the price?

Area, how soiled the floor is, the chemistry the surface allows, and out-of-hours access. A small room with a failed finish can cost more per metre than a large floor that only needs a scrub.

How long until people can walk on it?

A scrub-and-dry floor is usually ready when it is dry to the touch. A new seal or polish needs the cure time stated on the quote, often overnight, before furniture or wet shoes go back.

Can our own cleaners do this instead?

Daily mopping keeps loose dust down. It does not pull soil out of grout, safety texture or a worn vinyl finish. If the floor still looks tired after a proper mop, it needs a machine visit.

Can you remove deep scratches?

No. Scratches through the lacquer need a sander. We clean the surface that is still sealed and tell you if a refinisher should see it.
