Deep Cleaning Floor Materials

No matter how careful you are about keeping and maintaining your flooring, eventually it’s going to get soiled. Even if you surface clean it regularly, deep cleaning will sometimes be necessary. Depending on the kind of floor you have, the process can be easy or more difficult. The methods for cleaning various kinds of floors can vary widely. Here’s a look at some tips and advice for deep cleaning your flooring and how a professional flooring contractor can help.

 

Deep Cleaning Floor Materials

Everyone experiences it at some point in time. Whether you’ve got carpeting, hardwood, laminate or even vinyl or linoleum tile, your flooring develops tough stains, deep soiling and difficult-to-remove dirt and grime. No matter how you scrub, you can’t seem to lift the spots. When this happens, your ServiceWhale flooring contractor can provide help with deep cleaning floor materials of a broad variety of types, but there are some steps you can take to get the process started.

 

Wood Floors

Everyone loves the look and feel of hardwood. It adds a sense of class, comfort and a great natural energy to a home. When it gets deeply soiled, it can be unsightly and disappointing. Start your deep cleaning by thoroughly sweeping up dust and dirt with a soft broom. Then, use a vacuum cleaner attachment to lift up any remaining loose dirt.

Deep cleaning wood floors requires specialized concentrated cleaning solutions which you will dilute based on the instructions and apply with a mop, then dry thoroughly with a fan or dehumidifier to ensure that the moisture doesn’t damage the wood. A professional floor cleaning contractor can ensure that your job gets done well and doesn’t further damage the material.

 

Laminate, Tile and Other Flooring

Tile, linoleum, laminate and vinyl flooring can be easier to care for than wood. Keep them swept clean every day and use a soft-bristled broom to avoid scratching the floor. Mop with warm water once a week and thoroughly dry the floor immediately after you’re done. From time to time, deep cleaning solutions made from vinegar and water, dish detergent or the like can help lift stubborn stains.

Be careful, however; if you have natural stone tiles, you’ll want to avoid acids like vinegar. There are specialized products on the market that are pH neutral and safe to use on natural tiling and flooring. If you want a home remedy, baking soda and water can work wonders! In fact, baking soda and water made into a paste and applied with an old toothbrush is ideal for cleaning grout.
