Wood Floor Refinishing & Cleaning

Of all the available floor coverings, wood flooring is possibly the easiest to care for. In most circumstances, wood floor refinishing consists of little more than sweeping regularly with a soft broom and dusting with a barely damp mop or floor cloth.

Even so, regular use does take its toll. When you see signs of wear, such as discoloration, dulled finish and scratches, or gaps between the floor boards, it's time to take action - Call 408-907-7683.

If your floors are stained, or have been damaged by water or improper cleaning techniques, the wood floor cleaning experts at Carpet Cleaning San Jose are always there to take care of all your wood floor restoration and cleaning needs.

Wood Floor Refinishing - Factors that Influence Wood Flooring

• Damp - Moisture is one of wood flooring's biggest enemies. Any spill - even water - left unattended will undoubtedly turn into a hard to remove stain. Floor boards have been known to expand and contract relative to humidity. If uncompensated, expansion and contraction can lead to gaps or cracking. Dampness can also cause floors to cup.
• Sunlight - The finish on wood floors is also susceptible to fading and discoloration, especially if subjected to many hours of sunlight or harsh artificial light. While the use of carpets and area rugs is common practice for beautifying rooms and protecting the underlying wood floor from scratching, uncovered flooring may fade. If the carpet or rug is moved, 'rug marks' will remain.
• Dirt and sand - Dirt and sand carried on the soles of your shoes act like sandpaper on a wood floor. Each step grinds these granules into the floor, causing visible signs of wear or scratches.
