You Paid for Beautiful Hardwood Floors—Here’s How to Keep Them That Way
You just invested in stunning hardwood floors—whether newly installed or professionally refinished. But as gorgeous as they look on Day 1, the real key to keeping them that way is maintenance. That’s where most homeowners (and even contractors) drop the ball. View ALL of our services.
What’s Included With Every Project?
When you work with The Hardwood Flooring Pros, you’ll receive:
- ✅ FREE Bona® Floor Care Kit – This premium package includes a pro-grade microfiber mop, two interchangeable pads (one for dusting, one for deep cleaning), and a 32oz bottle of Bona PowerPlus® Hardwood Floor Deep Cleaner. The peroxide-powered formula breaks down grime and restores shine—without dulling or residue.
- ✅ Custom Floor Care & Maintenance Guide – Not all floors are created equal, and neither are the finishes. We use only high-quality, industry-leading products like Pallmann X-Power, Pallmann Gold, Bona Traffic HD, and Loba 2K Supra. Your guide will outline proper care based on your finish, including:
- Cure times (typically 3–4 days)
- Recommended cleaning frequency
- Product compatibility (no oil soaps or waxes!)
- Temperature and humidity guidelines
- ✅ Lifetime Support & Floor Health Timeline – We’ll even give you a cheat sheet so you know when to bring us back to the dance floor, so to speak.
When to Call Us Back (And Why It Matters)
Wood floors are durable—but they aren’t bulletproof. Regular maintenance and proactive service can save you thousands down the road. Here’s our recommended Service Timeline:
🧼 Deep Cleaning (1–2 years): If your floors start looking dull, hazy, or feel sticky even after cleaning, it’s likely time for a deep clean. Our Bona PowerScrubber™ service (coming soon) delivers a commercial-grade clean that household mops can’t.
✨ Buff & Recoat (2–4 years): Perfect for light surface scratches or minor dullness. We lightly abrade the topcoat and reapply finish—giving your floors new life without a full sanding.
🔨 Full Sand & Refinish (8–12 years): If your floors have deep gouges, heavy traffic damage, water stains, or are just plain tired, we’ll bring them back to life with our full refinishing service. This strips the old finish and lays down a brand-new one.
This timeline is subjective, of course. Every home is different. Pets, kids, and lifestyle habits can all affect how soon your floors need attention.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Using the Wrong Products: Avoid oil soaps, wax-based cleaners, or any product not specifically designed for hardwood floors.
- Skipping Protective Pads: Always apply felt pads under furniture legs. Sliding heavy furniture across unprotected floors is a recipe for heartbreak.
- Ignoring Humidity Levels: Wood reacts to moisture. Keeping your home between 35–55% relative humidity helps prevent warping, cupping, or gaps.
- Walking on Wet Floors: Respect the cure time. Walking too soon can permanently imprint the finish or require expensive repairs.
