The wood floors in your Alpharetta home are an investment that is designed to last for many years. Unfortunately, day-to-day wear and tear along with spills and accidents can cause your hardwood floors to appear worn down and dull. To refresh the look, the flooring specialists at ZEROREZ® offer several options that can help revitalize your faded floors and restore them to a like-new finish. Here are some things to keep in mind when it comes to protecting the surface and appearance of your wood floors.
Refinishing
Hardwood flooring that is installed and cared for properly can be the highlight of your home. If you've noticed some marring or large scratches in your flooring that isn't coming out with a light sanding or cleaning, don't stress. ZEROREZ® specializes in restoring hardwood floors that are dented, stained, discolored or warping. Their safe refinishing process involves lightly sanding down the top surface of the wood and safely discarding the dust debris. From there, the floors are cleaned and buffed to create a smooth finish. The final step is a light polyurethane finish that seals in the beauty and helps protect your wood flooring for years to come.
Resurfacing
It's important to avoid using any type of harsh chemical cleaner or oils on your floor in-between professional cleanings or refinishing. This is because most cleaners leave a residue build-up on your floors that can actually make it harder to clean and lock in sheen. If your floors are in fairly good condition but just need some rejuvenation, resurfacing may be a good option. Resurfacing is a more intense cleaning process compared to a basic cleaning.
Frequent Zr Clean™️ Basic Cleaning
The pros at ZEROREZ® will provide a light to moderate cleaning using the green cleaning fluid, Zr Clean™️ technology, that will penetrate the wood fibers safely. Dirt and grime along with old chemical residue will be effectively removed. The result is a floor that is clean and odor free. Having your floors cleaned regularly keeps them sanitary because it eliminates hidden allergens and harm substances. It will also seal in the top floor surface to protect from future spills and stains.
Clean Floors And Carpeting
When thinking about the longevity and beauty of your hardwood floors, take into consideration the condition of your carpet and tile as well. If these areas are dirty or have been cleaned frequently using a chemical cleaning solution, you could be tracking hidden debris onto to your hardwood floors. Ask your ZEROREZ® flooring specialist about having your carpeting and tile and grout cleaned with the Zr Clean™️ cleaning solution.
Area Rugs
If you have a lot of heavy furniture and a lot of foot traffic on your hardwood floors, consider laying down rugs. Area rugs help prevent nicks and dents from occurring on your floor surface. They also pick up spills that may otherwise settle into unsealed areas on hardwood flooring—leading to dark staining. ZEROREZ® has certified Master Carpet Cleaners who use a rug washing machine that is designed to clean the delicate fibers of antique, oriental and other types of area rugs.
Protecting the surface of your wood floors starts with getting them properly sealed. From there, routine upkeep and frequent cleaning by a ZEROREZ® professional will allow your floors to last a lifetime.
