Wood Floor Cleaning
Wood floors need regular maintenance to maintain their beauty and durability. Our Wood Floor Cleaning Process is specifically designed for solid hardwood and engineered wood floors as well as luxury vinyl tile (LVT) type flooring. Like other surfaces that see regular use, dirt, grime, and debris build up over time that can damage wood floors.
The Chem-Dry Wood Floor Cleaning Process offers several benefits:
- Removes dirt, grime, and non-living allergens* from pet dander
- Increases floor life
- Provides a superior deep clean vs. typical mopping
- Provides a protective barrier to protect any future damage
- Adds a durable shine
- Uses minimal moisture, preventing potential damage to the wood floors
What Sets Chem-Dry Apart?
Countless home cleaning products claim to maintain hardwood floors, but many provide only temporary results while leaving behind soapy detergent that can lead to buildup and potential damage over time. To truly preserve and enhance the beauty of your wood floors, periodic professional cleaning is essential.
The comparison below highlights the benefits of our wood floor cleaning in Charleston compared to doing it yourself at home:
| Chem-Dry Wood Floor Cleaning | DIY Mopping |
| Uses a proven cleaner, with clean ingredients | Uses soaps and detergents, which can contain harmful chemicals |
| Penetrates the grain of the wood with industry-leading equipment with counter-rotating brushes | Skims across the surface of the wood floor with a wet mop |
| Provides deeper clean that removes dirt, grime & non-living allergens* from in the wood grain | Doesn’t penetrate wood grain with surface cleaning |
| Uses minimal water, protecting the wood from damage | Uses excess water that can soak into the wood and cause damage such as buckling |
| Extracts moisture along with dirt and contaminants from your floors & home with a powerful vacuum | Soaks up some dirt and contaminants but also spreads it around the floor and doesn’t extract it from the home |
| Uses durable polish that leaves a protective barrier and healthy shine | Can apply polish that typically won’t last long or provide much protection against damage |

I hired 3 different carpet cleaners to clean select rooms in my house and my daughter’s house to see who would be the best. Definitely this company. They took their time and got stains out the other carpet cleaners left behind.
