Our Deep Cleaning Process
Our method combines professional assessment, personalized planning, and careful preparation to achieve outstanding results.
1. Initial Assessment and Consultation
When you contact us, we begin with a comprehensive floor assessment. Our technicians examine your hardwood flooring to identify specific issues like scratches, scuffs, embedded grime, and dulling. We take note of the floor's age, wood type, and finish condition.
2. Customized Cleaning Plan Development
Based on our assessment, we create a tailored cleaning plan for your hardwood floors. We consider:
3. Pre-Cleaning Floor Preparation
Before the main cleaning begins, we take several important steps to prepare your space:
4. Post-Cleaning Inspection and Quality Assurance
At San Francisco Flooring Company, we believe inspection is just as important as the cleaning itself. We inspect every floor carefully before and after deep cleaning to ensure perfection.
5. Proper Daily Maintenance
Regular sweeping or vacuuming is essential to remove dirt particles that can scratch your hardwood floors. We recommend using a soft-bristled broom or a vacuum with a floor-brush attachment.
Advanced Cleaning Techniques Employed
Our specialized equipment and trained technicians work together to achieve results that conventional cleaning simply cannot match.
High-Pressure Steam Cleaning
We employ industrial-grade steam cleaners that reach temperatures up to 240°F to penetrate deep into your flooring materials. This heat effectively dissolves stubborn dirt and sanitizes surfaces without harsh chemicals. The pressurized steam also reaches into microscopic pores of natural stone, tile, and hardwood that regular mopping misses. This process kills 99.9% of bacteria and dust mites that may be lurking in your floors. For delicate surfaces, we adjust the pressure and temperature settings to ensure thorough cleaning without damage. Our technicians are trained to recognize which settings work best for each flooring type.
Scrubbing and Buffing
Our floor restoration process includes mechanical scrubbing with specialized equipment that adapts to different floor types. For hardwood, we use soft-bristle rotary brushes that remove surface dirt while preserving the finish. Stone and tile floors receive treatment with oscillating machines that provide deeper agitation without scratching. These machines use counter-rotating pads to lift dirt from textured surfaces and grout lines.
For resilient flooring like vinyl and linoleum, we apply low-speed buffing that removes scuff marks and restores shine. The process includes carefully selected cleaning compounds that break down waxy buildup without stripping protective coatings. We finish with high-speed buffing that creates a smooth, reflective surface that enhances your floor's natural beauty. This step helps extend the time between deep cleanings.
Targeted Stain Removal
We analyze each stain to determine its composition before applying the appropriate treatment. Organic stains from food, beverages, or pets require different solutions than mineral deposits or oil-based marks. Our technicians carry over 20 specialized stain removers that target specific problems:
- Enzymatic cleaners for protein-based stains
- Alkaline solutions for grease and oil
- Mild acids for mineral deposits and hard water stains
- Poultice compounds for deep stains in porous materials
We test treatments in inconspicuous areas before full application. This careful approach ensures effective stain removal without damaging your flooring or leaving discolored patches. For particularly stubborn stains, we may apply several targeted treatments in sequence. This methodical process often restores areas that homeowners believed were permanently damaged.
Grout Line Treatments
Discolored grout lines can make even clean tile look dirty. We restore grout using specialized brushes that reach into these narrow channels without damaging surrounding tile. Our two-step process begins with a deep cleaning solution that dissolves soap scum, hard water deposits, and mildew. We then apply commercial-grade steam to flush out the loosened debris.
For persistent grout issues, we offer color sealing services that restore uniform appearance while adding protection against future staining. This sealant creates a barrier that repels water and soil. After cleaning, we apply penetrating sealers to preserve your grout's clean appearance. These products create an invisible shield that prevents absorption of spills and dirt while allowing the grout to breathe naturally.
FAQs About Floor Deep Cleaning
Many customers have questions about our deep cleaning services for floors. Here are the most common questions we receive about this important maintenance service for your home or business flooring.
What is the process for professional deep cleaning of floors?
Our professional deep cleaning process starts with an inspection of your flooring to identify problem areas. We then remove all furniture and obstacles from the area being cleaned. Next, we apply specialized cleaning solutions matched to your specific flooring type. We use industrial-grade equipment to extract dirt, grime, and contaminants from deep within the flooring material. The final step involves a thorough rinse and adequate drying time to ensure your floors look refreshed and renewed without damage.
How often should floors undergo a deep cleaning service?
We recommend professional deep cleaning every 12-18 months for most residential floors. This timeline helps remove built-up dirt before it causes permanent damage. Commercial spaces with heavy foot traffic may need quarterly deep cleaning services. Restaurants, retail stores, and medical facilities often require more frequent cleaning to maintain proper appearance and hygiene. Your cleaning frequency also depends on your household situation. Homes with pets, children, or allergy sufferers may benefit from more regular deep cleaning services.
Can deep cleaning services remove longstanding stains from flooring?
Yes, our deep cleaning services can remove many longstanding stains that regular cleaning misses. Our specialized equipment and professional-grade solutions reach deeper than consumer products. However, some permanent stains may not be completely removable if they've changed the material's color or structure. We can typically improve the appearance of even these tough cases. During our initial assessment, we'll identify which stains can likely be removed completely and which might only be improved.
What types of floors can be serviced by a professional deep cleaning?
We provide deep cleaning services for virtually all flooring types. This includes hardwood, engineered wood, laminate, vinyl, tile, natural stone, and carpet. Each flooring material requires specific cleaning techniques and solutions. Our technicians are trained in the proper methods for each type to ensure safe, effective cleaning. We also specialize in cleaning concrete floors, bamboo, cork, and other specialty flooring materials that require particular attention.
What is the estimated cost range for commercial floor deep cleaning services?
Commercial floor deep cleaning services typically range from $0.30 to $0.75 per square foot, depending on several factors. The type of flooring material significantly impacts the price. Additional factors affecting cost include the condition of your floors, the level of soil buildup, and any special treatments needed. Heavily soiled floors or those requiring stain treatment will be on the higher end of the range. We provide free on-site assessments to give you an accurate quote for your specific situation before any work begins.
