Wright Way Floor Care can clean and re-coat your hardwood floor with a dust free process. Our maintenance process is used to assist in avoiding the dust that accumulates with sanding. This process will not restore areas that have been damaged from deep scratches, water or areas worn from loss of polyurethane. This process will restore small scratches and add an additional layer of polyurethane. This product is specially formulated for heavy traffic on commercial and residential hardwood floors.
The 7-Step Wood Floor Re-Coating Process
Step 1: Pre-Inspection
We determine if the floor contains any wax, oily residue, or other contaminants which may affect the adhesion of a new finish. We also find out if a re-coating system can restore floors, or if a more aggressive method is needed.
Step 2: Area Preparation
We will prepare the areas surrounding the wood, making sure not to disturb any other connecting floor types. At this point all furniture that will be cleaned under is moved.
Step 3: Dry Soil Removal
Our experts thoroughly sweep, vacuum and clean the area, which helps in maximizing the wood coating results. This step is one of the most important steps.
Step 4: Cleaning
The cleaning process includes multiple applications of cleaning solutions with state-of-the-art equipment which PRODUCES NO DUST! Surface accumulations of common household pollutants such as food residues or pet oils are removed without abrading your floor to expose any bare wood.
Step 5: Re-Coating
The existing finish on the floor is then chemically etched and recoated with environmentally friendly, non-flammable, waterborne polyurethane. This finish is formulated for heavy residential or commercial traffic and dries overnight.
Step 6: Post-inspection
Our floor experts will initiate a walk through and go over results before leaving.
How To Care For Your Wood Floors
General cleaning of wood floor is recommended once every 1-2 weeks. Floors subject to heavy traffic should be cleaned on a more frequent basis. See below for a few cleaning tips.
1. Vacuum or sweep
Always vacuum or sweep to remove dirt and any grit prior to cleaning your wood
floors.
2. Spray
Lightly mist a 6' x 6' area of your wood floor, or directly mist the mop's terry cloth cover.
3. Wipe
Using a back and forth motion, clean the floor surfaces with your mop or clean terry
cloth. Finish an area before moving on to the next. The mop's low profile and easy-
to-maneuver swivel-head makes it a perfect cleaning tool for hard-to-reach areas
such as under furniture and cabinets, around doors, or in tight corners. When your
terry cloth cover becomes soiled, replace it with a clean one. Continued use of
excessively soiled covers may cause streaking. Most of the terry cloths in today's
market are reusable. Simply wash and dry them as you would any towel. When a
spill occurs, soak up the liquid promptly. Mist the affected area with Hardwood Floor
Cleaner and wipe with a mop or a clean, soft cloth.
Keep your floor clean! Grit tracked
in under your feet ruins the surface of wood floors, and any other flooring
material, faster than anything else. No grit, no damage.
To help maintain your floor, do the following:
Blot up spills immediately.
Dust mop floors using an untreated mop and proper wood floor cleaner.
Use door mats and walk-off mats whenever possible to keep dirt and grit off the floor.
Avoid the following with wood floors:
DO NOT use powder cleaners or soft cream cleaners (Soft Scrub)
DO NOT use mold removers (Tile X, X14, etc.) or disinfectants (Lysol).
DO NOT use furniture polish (Pledge, Jubilee, Endust).
