Finish-safe hardwood cleaning in Jackson starts with the finish. Before any cleaner goes down, our technician checks whether your floor has its factory finish or one applied later, and whether over-the-counter polishes or waxes are on top of it. That decides whether we pre-spray a deep cleaner or a stripping agent before we extract and rinse.

When we clean a wood floor we are really cleaning the finish on top of the wood. So the first job is to find out what that finish is.

The technician checks whether the floor still has its factory finish or one that was applied later. Then we check whether over-the-counter polishes or waxes have been put on top of it. A lot of floors have, and the owner often does not know, because a previous owner did it.

What we find decides the product. A floor with a sound finish and ordinary residue gets a deep cleaner. A floor with store-bought polish on it gets a stripping agent to take the polish off. Either way we recover it with a small extractor and finish with a neutralizing rinse so the floor does not attract soil or footprints.

We do this check on every wood floor we clean. If you would like an estimate, call (731) 437-0006 or send a request.

Our Process

  1. Check the Finish

    The technician checks whether the floor has its factory finish or one applied later.

  2. Check for Polish and Wax

    We look for over-the-counter polishes or waxes on top of the finish. This is what decides between a deep cleaner and a stripping agent.

  3. Pre-Spray and Extract

    The product goes down and a small extractor recovers it, along with the soil and residue.

  4. Neutralizing Rinse

    We rinse so the floor is left neutral and does not attract soil or footprints.

  5. You Look at the Floor

    You get a chance to look at the work before we leave, and we tell you what we would clean it with between visits.

What's Included

  • A check of the factory or existing finish
  • A check for over-the-counter polishes and waxes
  • A cleaner chosen for what we find
  • Recovery with a small extractor
  • A neutralizing rinse
  • Advice on what to use at home

Realistic Results, Honestly

We would rather set an honest expectation than make a promise we cannot keep.

  • This is still cleaning. The right product protects the finish you have. It does not add finish, fill scratches or bring back a coating that has worn through.
  • If a product has already damaged the finish, cleaning cannot undo that. We will tell you what we see before we start.
  • Different rooms sometimes have different finishes, especially in homes that have been added onto. We check each one, and they may not all come out looking the same.

Safe for Your Family and Pets

Our products are tested and safe for homes with children and pets. If anyone in the house has severe allergies or sensitivities, tell us and we can use a hypoallergenic cleaner with no odor or perfume. Give the floor 1 to 2 hours to dry.

What Customers Say

  • “Highly recommend Hydroclean! If you made the mistake of ever using a hardwood polish that uses an acrylic finish, these guys can come to the rescue. Our floors looked scratched and cloudy. We were contemplating getting all new floors because no amount of cleaning was making a difference. I knew the polish had to be removed. I thought I could do this on my own and after spending an entire day only to get about 100 square feet done, I knew I was in over my head. David and his crew were able to get the rest of my house finished in about 2 hours. My floors now look brand new.”

  • “I had ceramic tile and hardwood floors cleaned. The service was performed with a high level of professionalism, which met my expectation. I would encourage anyone looking to have this service to consider HydroClean LLC. The results were great and the owner encouraged me to call if I had concerns after the service. I would use them again.”

Finish-Safe Hardwood Cleaning Questions

Why does the finish matter so much?

Because it decides what we clean with. A floor with a sound factory finish is cleaned one way. A floor with store-bought polish or wax on it needs a stripping agent to take that off. Checking first keeps us from using the wrong product.

My floor went cloudy after I used a store-bought product. Can you fix that?

Often, yes. If the product left a layer on the finish, we strip it, extract it and rinse. If it damaged the finish itself, cleaning will not undo that. We check the floor and tell you which it is.

Can you clean floors with different finishes in the same house?

Yes. We check each area on its own. Homes with additions, or a room that was redone later, often have more than one finish.

What should I use between professional cleanings?

Ask the technician before we leave, since it depends on your finish. We would stay away from store-bought polishes. They are the cause of most of the cloudy floors we see.

Wondering about cost? We do not post prices, but you can see what affects the price of hardwood floor cleaning.
