Today’s homes feature many beautiful surfaces, from carpet and area rugs to tile, stone, and wood floors. Wood floors are a popular choice for their appearance, durability, and long-lasting appeal. Chem-Dry offers professional cleaning services for your home, including our Wood Floor Cleaning Process designed to help clean and refresh the look of your wood floors.
Wood floors need regular maintenance to help preserve their appearance and durability. Our Wood Floor Cleaning Process is designed for solid hardwood and engineered wood floors.

- Uses minimal moisture to help reduce the risk of water-related damage

Why Choose Chem-Dry?
There are many home cleaning products designed for hardwood floors. While these products may provide short-term results, residue, dirt, and grime can still build up over time. Periodic professional wood floor cleaning can help maintain the appearance of your floors and support regular floor care.
The comparison below highlights the differences between our Wood Floor Cleaning Process and typical DIY mopping:
Chem-Dry Wood Floor Cleaning vs. DIY Mopping
| Chem-Dry Wood Floor Cleaning | DIY Mopping |
|---|---|
| Uses a professional wood floor cleaner | Often uses soaps or detergents that may leave residue behind |
| Uses equipment with counter-rotating brushes designed to clean the wood surface | Wet mopping typically cleans across the surface |
| Helps remove dirt and grime from the floor surface and grain | Surface cleaning may not reach buildup in textured areas |
| Uses minimal water to help reduce moisture exposure | Can use excess water that may soak into wood if not controlled |
| Vacuum extraction helps remove moisture and loosened soil | Mopping can move dirt around the floor if rinse water is not changed often |
| Optional polish can add shine and a protective finish | DIY polish may vary in durability and appearance |
