Caring for Wooden Floors – Keeping Their Natural Charm and Strength Alive
A wooden floor is a timeless, warm, and elegant choice that adds natural charm and style to any space. But because wood is a living, natural material, it requires regular care to maintain its beauty, durability, and functionality. Professional wood floor maintenance extends the life of your flooring and helps prevent costly repairs in the future.
Before the work begins, our specialist assesses the condition of the floor, the type of material, and any existing damage to determine the most suitable maintenance method.
Deep cleaning and/or sanding
✧ This is followed by deep cleaning using specialised equipment and natural cleaning agents that remove dirt from deep within the wood.
Protective surface treatment with oil and/or wax
✧ Waxing creates a moisture- and dirt-repellent protective layer on the surface.
✧ Oil-wax combination offers the best of both worlds – deep protection and a durable finish.

Flexible, needs-driven cleaning solution
Wood floor maintenance is not a one-size-fits-all service – every floor is unique and requires an approach that considers its material, usage intensity, and the desired result.
Several factors influence how wood floor maintenance should be carried out:
- Usage intensity: High-traffic areas require more frequent maintenance.
- Type of flooring material: Different wood species and finishes require specific care products and methods.
- Visual and functional expectations: If you want to refresh the appearance of your floor or improve its slip resistance, specific treatments are required.
