ALL-PURPOSE CLEANER
Dull floor
Aggressive all-purpose cleaners attack the seal and the oil finish. The shine disappears — and doesn't come back with normal mopping.
Common mistake
Wooden floors don't like harsh chemistry or wet mopping. We clean with the right method for each type — sealed, oiled, laminate — and tell you honestly where our limit is.
Aggressive all-purpose cleaners attack the seal and the oil finish. The shine disappears — and doesn't come back with normal mopping.
Standing moisture soaks into the wood, planks swell, joints push apart. That's usually no longer reversible — and no longer a cleaning issue.
Wax-based cleaners on the wrong surface leave a sticky layer that traps dust. What should shine turns matte.
Scouring pads or pads that are too hard leave marks in raking light. Often only visible weeks later when the sun is low.
Sealed tolerates more than oiled. Laminate is neither. We identify on site what we're dealing with — and clean accordingly. No standard method for everything.
Lacquered surface — water beads off. We clean with neutral products, mist-damp, with no wax components. No care oil, which has no place here.
Water soaks in, surface is open. We mop very dry, with suitable cleaners. On request, re-oiling with the matching care oil — transparent in the quote, billed separately.
Plastic surface, treated entirely differently from wood. We use different products, different pads — no confusion with real-wood methods.
Moving furniture, securing vases, rugs out. What looks like prep is half the work — because under the table leg waits the dust nobody sees.
Parquet is an investment — we clean it honestly.
Water-drop test before we start: sealed or oiled? Everything depends on it.
Mist-damp, not wet. No standing water on the floor, no soaked cloths.
No all-purpose cleaner, no wax mix. Material-specific cleaners for each floor type.
Corners and skirting on all sides, transitions to tile clean — no dirt ring.
No puddles, no residual moisture. Floor is walkable as soon as we finish.
For oiled floors — care oil as an add-on, transparent in the quote, billed separately.
Full sanding or resealing is carpentry work. We don't do it — and tell you honestly when it's time for it.
Full-depth oiling as a complete refresh, plank replacement after water damage, filling gaps: not our area. Call a carpenter.
If the floor is already dull, stained or scratched, we don't make it like new. We clean — and tell you upfront what's realistic.
