At Dr Hardwood, we are equipped with the necessary tools to give your floors a deep clean that really gets in between cracks in the boards. Wood floor cleaning Austin, TX is a crucial part of the process including;
Regular sweeping and vacuuming
Regular sweeping or vacuuming is the first step in maintaining your hardwood floors. This simple practice removes loose dirt, dust, and debris that can cause surface scratches or damage. Use a soft-bristle broom or a vacuum cleaner with a floor attachment to gently clean the floors without leaving any scratches.
Deep cleaning techniques
Regular sweeping, periodic deep cleaning is necessary to remove stubborn dirt and grime. Deep cleaning is typically done with an appropriate detergent and a buffer. The buffer applies a thin layer of wax on the floor to protect it from damage caused by foot traffic, spills and scratches.

Frequently Asked Questions
Have more questions about hardwood cleaning and buffing in Austin, TX? Contact us today for expert advice.
What is cleaning and buffing for hardwood floors?
Cleaning and buffing is a maintenance service that involves deep cleaning the surface of hardwood floors to remove dirt and grime, followed by buffing to restore the floor’s shine. It helps to improve the floor’s appearance without removing the finish or sanding the wood.
How is buffing different from sanding and refinishing?
Buffing focuses on restoring the surface of the floor by removing minor scuffs and dullness. It does not remove any wood layers or change the floor’s finish, unlike sanding, which strips the floor to bare wood before applying a new finish.
How much does cleaning and buffing hardwood floors cost?
The cost depends on the size of the area and the condition of the floors. On average, professional cleaning and buffing services range from $1 to $3 per square foot, making it a more affordable option compared to refinishing.
How do I know if my floors need cleaning and buffing?
If your floors have lost their shine, show light scuff marks, or appear dull from dirt buildup, but the finish is still intact, cleaning and buffing can restore them. This service is ideal for maintenance between full refinishing jobs.
How often should I have my hardwood floors cleaned and buffed?
- To maintain the beauty of your hardwood floors, it’s recommended to have them professionally cleaned and buffed every 1-2 years, depending on foot traffic, pets, and overall wear.
Can cleaning and buffing remove deep scratches?
No, cleaning and buffing can only address light surface scratches and scuffs. For deeper scratches or damage, sanding and refinishing may be necessary to fully restore the floor.
Will cleaning and buffing make my floors look new again?
While buffing can significantly improve the shine and appearance of your floors by removing surface-level imperfections, it won’t achieve the same results as a full refinishing. However, it’s an excellent option for floors that need a refresh without the cost of refinishing.
Can I clean and buff my hardwood floors myself?
While you can clean your hardwood floors regularly with a suitable cleaner, buffing requires specialized equipment and experience to avoid damaging the floor. Hiring a professional ensures the job is done correctly without causing harm to the finish.
How long does the cleaning and buffing process take?
The process typically takes 1-2 hours for an average-sized room. It’s a relatively quick service compared to refinishing, with minimal disruption to your home, and you can usually walk on the floors shortly after buffing.
How can I maintain my floors after a cleaning and buffing service?
After cleaning and buffing, maintain your floors by regularly sweeping or vacuuming to remove dirt and debris. Use area rugs in high-traffic areas, avoid dragging heavy furniture, and clean spills immediately to prevent damage.
