Hardwood Floor Cleaning
Engineered Hardwood Floor Cleaning in Jackson, TN
4.9 (278 reviews)2 min read
Engineered hardwood has a thin layer of real wood over a plywood or composite core, so it cannot be sanded many times, if at all. HydroClean cleans it in Jackson homes the same way as solid hardwood. We check the finish, pre-spray a deep cleaner, recover it with a small extractor and finish with a neutralizing rinse.
Engineered hardwood is real wood on top and plywood or a composite core underneath. Once it is down it looks like a solid wood floor, and most people cannot tell which they have without looking at the edge of a board.
The difference matters when the floor wears. A solid board can be sanded and refinished several times. An engineered board has only that thin top layer. Some can take one light sanding and many cannot take any. So the finish that is on the floor now is worth looking after.
We clean it the same way we clean solid hardwood. The technician checks the finish and whether any store-bought polish or wax has been applied. We pre-spray a deep cleaner, or a stripping agent if polish is on it, and recover it with a small extractor. Then a neutralizing rinse.
To get an estimate, call (731) 437-0006 or send a request with the rooms and rough sizes.

Our Process
Confirm the Floor and Check the Finish
The technician confirms the floor is engineered wood and not a vinyl look-alike, then checks the finish and whether polish or wax has been applied.
Pre-Spray
A deep cleaner goes down. If store-bought polish is on the floor, we use a stripping agent.
Extract
A small extractor recovers the cleaner and the soil it loosened.
Neutralizing Rinse
We rinse so the floor does not attract soil or footprints afterward.
You Look at the Floor
You get a chance to look at the work before we leave.
What's Included
- Confirmation of the floor type
- A check of the finish and any polish or wax on it
- Deep cleaner or stripping agent pre-spray
- Recovery with a small extractor
- A neutralizing rinse
- A chance to look at the work before we leave
Realistic Results, Honestly
We would rather set an honest expectation than make a promise we cannot keep.
- Engineered hardwood cannot be sanded like solid wood. Cleaning looks after the finish you have. It is not a step toward refinishing, because refinishing may not be possible on your floor.
- Spots where the finish has worn through to bare wood will not come back with cleaning.
- Lifted edges and boards that have come apart are moisture damage. Cleaning does not fix that. If we see it, we will point it out.
Safe for Your Family and Pets
Our products are tested and safe for homes with children and pets. Stay off the floor until it is dry, usually 1 to 2 hours. If anyone has severe allergies, ask us about our hypoallergenic cleaner.

Tocquenn Y. · Google review · May 2022 “They cleaned my hardwood floors in a 20 year old home we just purchased. Most of the floors had some smeared greasy coating that I just could not clean. They were fast and professional and effective. They were able to remove the build up and my floors look beautiful now. Will use them again and highly recommend.”

Engineered Hardwood Cleaning Questions
How do I know if my floor is engineered or solid?
Look at the edge of a board at a floor vent or a doorway. Engineered boards show layers, with a thin wood top over a core. Solid boards are the same wood all the way through. The technician checks before we start.
Can engineered hardwood be refinished?
Sometimes once, lightly. Many cannot be sanded at all. It depends on how thick the top layer is. When the finish is still intact, a screen and recoat may be an option, because it does not take wood off.
Will cleaning help my dull engineered floor?
Often it does, because a dull floor is frequently coated in cleaner residue or store-bought polish. If the finish itself is worn through, cleaning will not bring it back. We will tell you what we see before we start.
How long does it take to dry?
Usually 1 to 2 hours. Wait until it is fully dry before you put rugs back down.
Wondering about cost? We do not post prices, but you can see what affects the price of hardwood floor cleaning.
