Hardwood flooring adds warmth, character, and long-term value to any home or business. Routine sweeping and dusting help, but they are not enough to keep the finish looking fresh on their own. Every day, traffic, spills, and fine debris slowly dull the sheen and wear down the protective layer. That is why periodic professional hardwood floor cleaning is so important for maintaining both appearance and performance.
Tulip Carpet Cleaning of Arlington specializes in hardwood floor cleaning throughout the Arlington area, helping restore the natural look of your wood floors while guarding them against premature wear.
Basic mopping and over-the-counter cleaners only reach the surface. Some store-bought products can even leave behind films that attract more soil or slowly damage the finish. A professional hardwood cleaning service uses dedicated machinery and carefully balanced cleaning solutions designed specifically for wood floors. This process pulls out embedded soil, grease, and allergens that regular cleaning leaves behind, leaving the floor smoother, cleaner, and more visually appealing. Trained technicians know how to match methods and products to your floor type, helping protect your investment over time.
We follow a proven step-by-step approach to give your floors the care they deserve:
Wood floors take a steady beating from shoes, pets, spills, and daily activity. Even with good routine care, they eventually begin to lose their glow or show fine scratches. A professional cleaning every 4-6 months is a good target for many homes. Busy households with children, pets, or heavy entertaining often benefit from quarterly service to stay ahead of traffic patterns and buildup. If a move or sale is on the horizon, a fresh professional cleaning can dramatically improve first impressions and help the floors stand out to potential buyers.
There are times when deep cleaning alone cannot correct the damage on a hardwood floor. Deep gouges, worn patches where the finish has completely disappeared, or noticeable color changes from UV or water exposure usually indicate the need for refinishing or repair rather than cleaning alone. Refinishing removes a thin layer from the surface, erases defects, and adds a brand-new protective finish. Targeted repair work addresses specific issues such as broken boards, warping, or localized water damage without replacing the entire floor.

No. Our process uses pH-balanced solutions and specialized equipment designed to clean safely without over-wetting or harming the wood.
Regular mopping helps with surface dust, but it doesn't remove embedded dirt, allergens, or residues that dull the finish. Professional cleaning goes deeper to restore shine and protect your floors long-term.
Sometimes. If your floors have deep scratches, discoloration, or dull areas that don't respond to cleaning, refinishing may be the best option. Our team can inspect your floors and recommend the right solution.
