How much does hardwood floor cleaning cost?

Professional hardwood floor cleaning in Portland costs $100-$400 for most homes. Basic cleaning runs $0.20-$0.35 per square foot. Cleaning with polish or conditioning adds to cost. Screen and recoat services (light refinishing) cost $1.50-$3.00 per square foot.

How often should hardwood floors be professionally cleaned?

Professional deep cleaning is recommended every 1-2 years depending on traffic and lifestyle. Homes with pets, children, or high traffic benefit from annual professional cleaning. Regular maintenance between cleanings extends floor life significantly.

Can cleaning damage hardwood floors?

Not when done properly. We use wood-safe, pH-neutral cleaners appropriate for your floor's finish type. Improper DIY cleaning - using too much water, steam mops on certain finishes, or wrong cleaning products - causes more damage than professional cleaning.

What's the difference between cleaning and refinishing?

Cleaning removes dirt and residue from the floor surface. Refinishing involves sanding down to bare wood and applying new finish - needed every 7-10 years for worn floors. Screen and recoat (between cleaning and refinishing) adds a fresh finish layer without full sanding.

How long until I can walk on cleaned floors?

For standard cleaning, floors are walkable immediately with clean, dry feet. After polish application, wait 1-2 hours. Screen and recoat requires 24 hours before light traffic and 48-72 hours before furniture replacement and normal use.

Should I use Swiffer or steam mop on hardwood?

Swiffer-type dry mops are fine for dust. Wet Swiffer products may leave residue over time. Steam mops can damage some finishes and force moisture into wood - generally not recommended. Damp mopping with proper hardwood cleaner followed by immediate drying is safest for regular maintenance.

💡 The #1 Way to Keep Costs Down

Call us immediately. Seriously - the single biggest factor in restoration cost is how long damage sits before treatment starts. Water that sits for 48 hours does 3-4x more damage than water extracted within the first few hours. Mold starts growing in 24-48 hours. The faster we start, the less you pay. It's that simple.
