Professional Hardwood Deep Cleaning
Mechanical professional cleaning for hardwood floors that need renewed appearance and maintenance rather than sanding.
Request an assessment ↗︎WHAT IT IS · WHAT IT ISN'T
Sometimes the floor
just needs to be clean.
Years of the wrong cleaning products leave hardwood floors hazy, streaky, or dull in ways that look like worn finish but are not. Professional deep cleaning removes that residue mechanically, with a scrubber and cleaning solutions made for finished wood floors, and shows what the finish underneath actually looks like. HQ uses the Bona PowerScrubber for this work.
This is the first level of care HQ considers, because it is the least aggressive. For a floor whose finish is sound, it may be all that is needed. For a floor being evaluated for a recoat, it is often a necessary first step: residue from wax, polish, or "restorer" products has to be identified and removed before any new coat can bond, and a clean surface makes the real condition of the finish visible.
Deep cleaning does not remove scratches, restore finish that has worn through, or repair boards that are cupping, lifting, or delaminating. When the evaluation shows those problems, HQ says so and scopes the right level — recoat, refinish, or repair — rather than cleaning a floor that needs more.
THE HQ APPROACH
Start with the floor.
Choose the right treatment.
HQ uses professional floor-care equipment and products selected for the floor and finish.
Every project begins with an assessment of the existing floor, its condition, and the homeowner's goals. Recommendations are made after that evaluation—not before it.
THE HQ WAY
Hours, not days
A professional deep clean is the lightest intervention HQ offers: mechanical cleaning matched to the floor and finish, typically completed in hours, with no sanding and no cure time measured in days.

COMMON QUESTIONS
Asked before
the assessment.
What does professional hardwood floor cleaning remove?
Built-up residue from household cleaners, polishes, and "shine" products, embedded dirt in the grain and along board edges, and surface haze. It restores the appearance of a sound finish. It does not remove scratches in the finish, wear that has reached the wood, or stains that have penetrated the wood.
Is deep cleaning the same as a recoat?
No. Cleaning removes what is on top of the finish; a recoat adds a new coat of finish on top of it. Cleaning often comes first, either because it is enough on its own or because the surface must be free of residue before a recoat can be considered.
Can you deep clean prefinished, engineered, or luxury vinyl floors?
Prefinished and engineered hardwood, yes, with products appropriate to the finish. HQ also offers LVP/LVT and hard-surface deep cleaning as a separate service. The floor type and finish are confirmed before the work is scoped.
