Wood Floor Cleaning Services
Wood floors never go out of fashion. Wood floors have a number of advantages that most other floors do not have. First of all, the wood floors are a natural product. Then the wood floors can be refinished and restored many times over. The wood floors are cozy and they create a really pleasant environment. The wood floors also insulate the floor and prevent heat loss. The wood floors are available in a wide range of shapes, colours, thickness, fibers, etc. No wonder that most people are looking to buy proper wood floors.
There are two types of wood floors, hardwood floors and semi solid or engineered wood floors. The hardwood floors are manufactured from a piece of real wood and it can be cut and designed in pretty much any shape. The semi solid or engineered wood floors are manufactured from a plywood base with a sheet of wood on the top. The thickness of the wood at the top can vary depending on the quality of the floor and the type of floor.
There are also two categories of popular floor finishes, floor oils and lacquers. There are hundreds of variations of those two products but the basic two finishes are the ones listed above. There can be water based floor lacquers or solvent based floor lacquer and there can be floor oils or hardwax floor oils. The wood floor finishes are available in many colours, a variety of sheen and they all will require some level of regular maintenance.

It doesn’t matter what type of wood floor you own or what type of finish is on it, sooner or later you will need to use the services of a professional floor cleaning company like Floor Cleaning Dublin. The daily wood floor cleaning and wood floor maintenance does not require the use of a professional wood floor cleaning company but as the floor gets more and more traffic and the dirt penetrates deeper and deeper inside the wood floor fiber, the floor will require stronger cleaning products and the use of heavy duty professional floor cleaning equipment. Deep cleaning is the first step and then refreshing or polishing is the second step. We deal with commercial and residential wood floor cleaning services all over Ireland.

The first step is to deep clean the floor. Depending on the type of floor, the type of sealer and the type of dirt that is on it, Floor Cleaning Dublin will be using a number of different wood floor cleaning products to deep clean, emulsify grease and restore the original look of the wood floor. While most hardwood floors and semi solid wood floors will be fully deep cleaned after one quick clean, some commercial wood floors or even some domestic wood floors with more than usual traffic, will require a second wash to fully remove all the dirt. After the floor was fully deep cleaned and disinfected, the next step is topping up the sealer with a water based floor polish or an oiled floor refresher.

If your floor was finished with a water based floor lacquer or a solvent based floor lacquer, then we will use a high traffic water based floor polish from the Chimiver range. This particular product will level up all small scratches, imperfections and dull patches to create a smooth and streak free finish. The wood floor polish is available in a matt, semi gloss or high gloss finish. The protection and the durability is pretty much the same on all levels of sheen but the level of sheen is a matter of personal preference. If your hardwood floor or semi solid wood floor was sealed with a floor oil or a hardwax oil, then we will use one of our professional oiled floor refreshers from Chimiver. The oiled floor refresher used by Floor Cleaning Dublin is a quick drying one, it fully penetrates the surface and it has to be applied with a low speed floor buffer. A fine step by step process of buffing with low and high speed floor buffers will follow.
