The Mysteries of Laminate/Hardwood Flooring

The Untold Maintenance Story…

    

 

Are you tired of your dull, lifeless laminate/hardwood flooring? Do you always see tracking, scratches and barefoot prints from you and your pets? Are you concerned about water damage or the peaking that your floors may already be doing? If you answered yes to any of the above questions then we have some solutions for you!

     Laminate/hardwood flooring has long been sold as a floor that doesn’t require maintenance.  However, over the years this has been proven to be a mysterious falsehood.

Let’s face it, if you walk on any flooring, it needs and requires preventative and ongoing maintenance!

     When a laminate floor comes from the factory it already has a multitude of mysterious matter on it.  One is the wax overspray that most of them have on the faces of the boards from the factory spraying the edges of the boards so that they click together easier, and secondly, all of the factory grime in the air that settles onto the aluminum oxide finish.  Lastly, whatever grime is tracked on from the shoes of the installers who walk across them.

 

 

So, after they are installed, there is a definite need for Initial Maintenance.  There is nothing on the surface of laminate/hardwood floors to protect the aluminum oxide or polyurethane finish.  This also means nothing is sealing or protecting the floor from scratches, water spills and liquids penetrating the boards which can cause peaking of the joints. (Which the only remedy for that is replacing the boards).

All of the common complaints and mysteries about Laminate/hardwood flooring can be prevented by performing Initial Maintenance and Ongoing Maintenance.

These are some of the common complaints about laminate/hardwood flooring:

1.       Dullness

2.       Peaking 

3.   Barefoot and pet prints

 

4.   Scratches

 

5.   Scuffing

 

6.   Streaking

 

We can help you with the initial and ongoing maintenance of your floors. We use a professional and premium floor care system designed to help seal, protect and intensify the surface of your laminate, hardwood, cork and bamboo floors. Giving you the floor you want and protecting your investment. Our system involves the following steps:

Step 1. We will deep scrub your floor to completely remove the wax overspray as well as any products that you have tried over the years to clean and shine your laminate/hardwood floors.  The deep scrub is a mild stripper and will remove everything down to the original aluminum oxide on laminate or polyurethane finish on hardwoods. 

Step 2. We will apply a protective/restoration layer that will adhere to the finish on your floors. This will seal the floor and provide variable gloss levels depending on the number of coats applied.  This seal then provides you with peace of mind from water spills, tracking and footprints and makes the floors easier to maintain.

Step 3. Optional – We can provide you with a Buff Dry Cleaner and Revitalizer to be used as a maintenance product that you use to clean your floors on a regular basis and to revitalize the beautiful shine.  You may use it as often as you like because unlike other hard surface cleaners on the market today, it won’t build up any unwanted residue that collects more dirt and dulls your floor.

Step 4. Touch up – The protective coating will need to be reapplied approximately every 1 -2 years- depending on the traffic in your home. Heavy traffic areas might need to be touched up more often.  Which is hassle free with this system.

 

Touching up areas that no longer shine because of heavy traffic can be done whenever you need it. You don’t have to redo the whole floor. The protective process blends in with the rest of the floor. You can’t tell where it has been reapplied it, this makes it easy to maintain and easy to keep your floor looking great.

     So, if you wish to protect and extend or restore your laminate, hardwood, cork or bamboo floors while enjoying their new beautiful shine----
