A lower number usually means less time on your floor. That's the difference between a clean floor and a cloudy one.
Tile can take a lot of water. Wood and vinyl cannot. Too much moisture swells wood boards and cups the edges, and on luxury vinyl it slips through the seams and gets underneath where nothing can dry it. So nothing here gets flooded, and nothing gets steamed. We clean with controlled moisture and pH-neutral solutions, and dry as we go.
On wood and vinyl, how fast the floor dries matters as much as how clean it gets. Every minute water sits on a wood floor it is working into the boards and the seams. So we use only as much moisture as the cleaning needs, pull it back up immediately, and dry each section before we move to the next one. By the time we are packing up, the floor is ready to walk on, not roped off for the afternoon.
Most dull wood and vinyl floors are not worn out. They are coated. Oil soaps, shine-restoring products, and all-in-one mop solutions leave a thin film behind every time they are used, and that film holds onto dirt and scatters light. Mopping over it adds another layer. Stripping that buildup back off is usually the biggest change people see.
If you paid for real hardwood, you already know it is not a floor you just mop and forget. The finish is what protects the wood, and every year of foot traffic, chair legs, and grit wears it a little thinner. Cleaning takes off the grime and the product buildup. Sealing puts a fresh protective layer back over the finish, so the wood underneath is guarded against scuffs, spills, and moisture until the next cleaning.
That is why clean and seal is what we recommend for real wood, and why most people who care about their floors treat the two as one job. It is still optional. Cleaning on its own makes a real difference, and there is never pressure to add anything.
Luxury vinyl and laminate come with a factory wear layer built into the surface. Sealers do not bond to it well, so they tend to peel, cloud, or turn slick, and many manufacturers treat them as a warranty issue. The right care for vinyl is simply cleaning it properly and drying it fast.
We do not sand or refinish floors. What we do is professional cleaning, done properly. It removes grime, product residue, and traffic dulling, and light surface scuffs often improve. Scratches through the finish into the wood, gray worn paths where the finish is gone, and water damage need a refinishing company, and we will tell you if that is what you have before we start rather than charge you for a cleaning that will not fix it.
On a wood floor, water on the board tells us everything. Put a few drops down and watch. If it beads up, the finish is intact and the floor can take a proper damp clean. If it soaks in, the finish is worn through or you have a penetrating oil or wax floor, and that is a different job with different products.
Nobody should be running a machine across a wood floor without knowing which one you have. That test takes ten seconds and it is the difference between a clean floor and a damaged one.
LVP is a different animal. Vinyl plank has no finish to strip and no boards to swell, so the test does not apply. What it does have is texture that holds soil, and seams and edges where grime collects. That comes out with the right cleaner and agitation, not with more water.
Too much water. Wood moves. Flood a floor and it swells at the seams, cups across the board, and in bad cases the boards separate as they dry. We control the moisture going down and pull it back up immediately rather than letting it sit.
The wrong pH. A high-pH cleaner meant for tile or concrete will dull a wood finish and, used often enough, start stripping it. Wood wants a neutral cleaner made for finished floors.
Mop-and-shine buildup. The store-bought restorer products leave a film every time. Layer it for a few years and you get a cloudy, sticky floor that looks worse after each application. That buildup has to come off before the floor can actually look clean, and that is its own step.
Damage that was already there. Gaps, cupping, pet stains through the finish into the wood, or a finish worn to bare board. Cleaning does not fix any of that, and we tell you before we start rather than after.
Most homes have more than one floor type. We handle tile and grout cleaning, natural stone cleaning, and carpet cleaning in the same visit, priced together in the quote tool.

We move what is reasonable: sofas, chairs, tables, light pieces. What we do not move is anything with breakables on it or in it, china cabinets, curio cabinets, electronics, glass tops, and we do not move beds.
If we are shuffling a lot of furniture through the house, expect the top end of your range rather than the bottom. That is labor and we would rather say so than surprise you. Clear what you can off the floor beforehand and it comes in lower.
A floor that looks dull, flat and permanently dirty usually is not worn through at all. It is carrying years of film from oil soaps, mop-and-shine products and all-purpose cleaner, and that film holds soil and kills the finish underneath.
Every mopping adds another coat of it, which is why the floor looks worse the harder somebody works on it. Plenty of people start pricing replacement for a floor that is completely fine under the buildup.
Getting that film off is usually the difference people notice first, and it costs a fraction of new flooring. $0.85 a square foot online, $1 regular, or $1.49 with a fresh protective coat over the existing finish. Controlled moisture and extraction rather than a bucket, because standing water is the one thing that genuinely damages wood.

Solid hardwood, engineered wood, laminate, luxury vinyl plank (LVP), and luxury vinyl tile (LVT).
If it is real hardwood or engineered wood, we recommend it. Hardwood floor cleaning removes the grime, and sealing puts a protective layer back over the finish so it holds up between cleanings. It is still optional. Luxury vinyl and laminate cannot be sealed, since sealers do not bond to their factory wear layer.
Too much water will, which is why we never flood wood or use steam on it. We clean with controlled moisture and a pH-neutral cleaner and dry as we go.
Usually residue. Oil soaps, shine products, and all-in-one mop solutions leave a film that grabs dirt and dulls the finish. Removing that buildup is often the biggest visible change we make.
No. We do professional cleaning, and hardwood sealing over the existing finish. Deep scratches, worn-through finish, and water damage need a refinishing company, and we will tell you before we start.
Right away in most cases. We dry each section before moving on, so the floor is ready to walk on when we finish.
Yes, it is part of the service: sofas, chairs, tables, and beds included. We skip very heavy pieces like oversized sectionals, pianos, appliances, and anything with breakables on it or inside it, including lamps, mirrors, TVs, and china or curio cabinets. Clear those off and we handle the piece. We clean right up to and around anything that stays put.
Cleaning is $0.85/sqft online, or $1 regular. Hardwood clean and seal is about $1.49/sqft online, or $1.75 regular. A $150 minimum applies per visit in our core cities, once for the whole visit rather than per service.
