Safe and Professional Hardwood Floor Cleaning
Keystone Cleaning technicians are professional hardwood floor cleaners. Hence, we have the knowledge, expertise, and specialized equipment to clean various floor types. Additionally, we are trained in the latest processes and techniques to guarantee a thorough and safe wood floor cleaning.
Types of Floors We Clean
Hardwood Floors:
Hardwood floors are solid wood with no layers other than the protective polyurethane layer on top. Furthermore, walnut, maple, or oak are typical hardwood species used in most floors. Therefore, you can refinish your hardwoods over and over again. Moreover, it’s best to have wood floors professionally cleaned to prevent scratches and damage to such an expensive investment. Equally important is to have any refinishing done if the top polyurethane layer is damaged.
Engineered Wood Floors:
Engineered wood floors have a hardwood veneer layer at the top, with a protective aluminum oxide coating. Furthermore, the bottom base layer is a high-quality plywood, unfinished hardwood, or high-density fiberboard. Of course, you can professionally clean engineered floors without any problems. Likewise, they are not as prone to moisture damage or warping. Additionally, you can refinish engineered wood floors multiple times depending on the thickness of the wear layer.- 1mm or less -cannot be refinished
- 2mm – 1-2 refinishes
- 3mm – 2-3 refinishes
- 4mm – 4-5 refinishes, and so on
Laminate Floors:
Laminate is a multi-layered synthetic flooring product that is highly durable and impact-resistant. In light of its 4+ layers consist of a balance layer, high-density board, decorative layer, and aluminum oxide protective layer. Therefore, laminate floors professionally cleaned are best to prevent damage and buckling. Also, it’s best to avoid applying rejuvenator shine products on this type of flooring because it’s difficult to remove.
Luxury Vinyl Floors:
Luxury vinyl tile or plank flooring resembles laminate to some extent, but they differ in water resistance and overall texture. Moreover, LVT has approximately six layers, including a wear and UV layer that protects from outside elements. Additionally, this flooring primarily consists of waterproof polyvinyl chloride (PVC). Due to their high durability and resiliency, we can make them shine as bright as ever with professional floor cleaning.
Linoleum Floors:
Natural ingredients like linseed oil, pine rosin, wood flour, cork dust, and jute constitute the entirety of linoleum. Moreover, its composition of all natural materials makes it biodegradable and bactericidal. Also, consisting of other hygienic properties. Likewise, linoleum is very durable and scratch-resistant. Thus, a professional linoleum floor cleaning is a piece of cake. Afterward, it’s best to add a protective barrier by applying a floor finish coating that safeguards from wear and tear.Hardwood Floor Cleaning
Hardwood floors make a home look beautiful. Of course, regular maintenance is required to keep them looking their very best. Naturally, everyday foot traffic, spills, pet accidents, rejuvenator products eventually accumulate, causing your floor to appear dull and hazy. Therefore, Keystone Cleaning offers professional hardwood floor cleaning, as well as refinishing services. Therefore, we both bring back the rich color and bright shine in your wood floors.

Step 1. Hardwood Floor Preparation:
Preparing the area before commencing the cleaning process, our professional hardwood floor techs ensure that the surrounding area is prepared. Furthermore, this includes removing furniture, rugs, and other objects that may obstruct the cleaning process. Note, that we are not responsible for moving furniture in and out of rooms to clean entire areas. Whereas, that is the responsibility of the client. Of course, we will help clear out areas with minimal amount of furniture.
Step 2. Dry Vacuum:
Dry vacuuming to remove loose debris. Moreover, we use high-powered hepa-filtered vacuum systems with specialized hardwood floor attachments to effectively remove loose debris such as dust, pet hair, and dirt from the surface and crevices of the floor. Furthermore, this step minimizes the risk of scratching during subsequent cleaning.
Step 3. Hardwood Floor Cleaner:
Hardwood floors tend to build up a layer of dirt and grime from years of foot traffic, spills, and waxy acrylic solutions. Therefore, we take extra care to makes sure this is removed with specially formulated hardwood floor cleaning and buffing solutions.
Step 4. Professional Floor Cleaning Equipment:
Next we employ specialized hardwood floor cleaning equipment such as floor buffers and Dirt Dragons, or Tornado BR 16 floor scrubber. Of course, this equipment is the most powerful industry standard equipment available for hardwood floor cleaning. Therefore, our rotary floor machines and scrubbers are used to agitate and lift embedded dirt and grime from the floor. Ultimately, these machines ensure thorough cleaning while eliminating the risk of damage to the floor's finish.
Step 5. Drying and Inspection:
After the deep cleaning process, the floor is carefully dried using microfiber mops or pads to remove any excess moisture. In conclusion, our technicians then inspect the floor for any remaining issues that may require further attention, followed by any appropriate finish applied if required.
Hazy, Dull Looking Floors from consumer brand products
Hardwood Wax Removal
Removing waxy, oil, and acrylic hardwood floor rejuvenator products is essential for restoring the natural beauty of hardwood floors. Consequently, these products can build up heavy residue, resulting in floors that appear dark, hazy, and dull. Likewise, this build up attracts more dirt, oils, germs that further worsens its cloudy appearance. Therefore, this accumulation not only affects the aesthetics but also compromises the durability and longevity of the wood flooring.

Additionally, protecting adjacent surfaces, such as baseboards or carpets, with masking tape or protective coverings, prevents accidental damage.Step 3. Dusting and Vacuuming:
To eliminate loose debris and prevent scratching during the removal process, the floor surface must be thoroughly dusted and vacuumed. Furthermore, specialized tools, such as a hepa-filter vacuums, microfiber mop or soft-bristle broom, will be used to ensure all dirt and dust particles are removed.Step 4. Choosing and Applying Appropriate Removal Method:
Based on the amount of wax we find, our techs will choose the most appropriate removal method. Therefore, mechanical methods, such as abrasion, sanding, or scraping, may be used for thicker wax layers. Also, chemical methods, including stripping agents or solvents, are employed for thinner or less stubborn wax coatings, or a combination of the two.Step 5. Removing Residual Wax:
Once the initial wax layer is removed, any residual wax should be addressed. Likewise, specialized tools and techniques, such as a floor buffer or gentle scraping, can be employed to ensure a thorough removal without causing damage to the underlying hardwood surface.Step 6. Cleaning and Refinishing:
After the wax removal process, it is essential to clean the floor surface thoroughly. Subsequently, this involves removing any remaining residue and restoring the natural beauty of the hardwood. Following the cleaning process, applying appropriate sealants or finishes can further protect the floor and enhance its longevity.

Hardwood Screen & Recoat
Our professional hardwood screen and recoat service is designed to restore and rejuvenate your wood floors. Therefore, this service is for floors with surface level scratches, scuffs, and areas that has lost its protective polyurethane layer. Furthermore, screen and recoating is simply known as “sandless refinishing.” Firstly, the screening process is lightly abrading the surface of the hardwood floor to remove light scratches and imperfections. Followed by, the recoating process which is applying 2 layers of polyurethane finish to seal and protect the wood.

The application is done evenly and with meticulous attention to detail, guaranteeing a smooth and uniform appearance.Step 4. Drying and Curing the Finish:
After the finish has been applied, it needs sufficient time to dry and cure. As as result, we will provide guidelines on how long to wait before moving furniture back into the space or allowing foot traffic. Moreover, this drying and curing period ensures that the finish sets properly, maximizing its durability and longevity.Step 5. Conducting a Final Inspection:
To ensure that the screen and recoat process has been executed to perfection, we will conduct a final inspection. Therefore, we will examine the floor for any remaining imperfections, ensuring that the finish is smooth and free of streaks or bubbles. Likewise, any necessary touch-ups are made to achieve a flawless end result.
