1. The Floors Look Dirty or Dull
People use wood soaps and oils to help clean their hardwood and to help ensure the floors shine. As these elements are used, they leave a film that starts to build up. This film doesn’t wash away, no matter how many times you attempt to clean your floor. As such, the planks always look dirty or dull. A hardwood floor service can strip away the soap and oil residue, leaving you with a clean and shiny finish.
2. The Wood Has Become Faded or Discolored
If you have small imperfections in your floor, such as surface-level scratches, gouges, or pits, a hardwood floor service may be able to refinish your planks. This involves sanding down the planks to remove damage, and then staining or painting them. Not every floor can be refinished, as your floors need to be thick enough to be sanded down.
3. There Are Surface-Level Scratches or Pits
Surface-level scratches or pits can appear on your floor after wear and tear. It’s important to get these fixed right away to avoid further damage. Always contact a professional when it comes to hardwood floor service.
If you’ve got hardwood floors, you certainly aren’t alone. According to Statista, hardwood flooring sales in the U.S. amounted to $3.45 billion in 2020. Hardwood is also one of the most popular flooring options on the market today. However, as the floor is used and as it ages, it can start to lose some of its appeal and start to show its age. Fortunately, a hardwood floor service may be able to revive it, helping to extend its lifespan. If your floors always look dirty or dull, if they’re discolored, or if there are minor scratches or pits, we may be able to help.
