Hardwood Floor Cleaning / Preservation

Did you know your hardwood floors can last multiple generations when they are properly maintained and preserved? ABE’s Hardwood Floor Cleaning and Preservation System can do just that.

Comparing ABE’s Hardwood Floor Cleaning and Preservation System to sanding and staining methods.

• If floors and furnishings are neglected, the finish can wear through causing loss of stain color and damage to the actual wood. This will require extensive restoration including complete sanding, staining and refinishing. This process is expensive, time consuming and inconvenient. It may even require you to move out of your home during the process.
• Engineered wood floors can accept only two or three of the treatments described above over a lifetime. The wood veneer can be sanded away and the floors will need to be replaced. It pays to maintain your floors.
• ABE’s Hardwood Floor Cleaning and Preservation System is completely dust-free. You will not be cleaning up our dust months later as is the case with the sanding process. We remove soil from your home, not add to it.
• ABE’s Hardwood Floor Cleaning and Preservation System is odorless, non-toxic and dries to the touch in about an hour. You can walk on the floor in your socks at that time. Furniture may be moved back in 24 hours and rugs after 48 hours. Your regular foot traffic can resume after 24 hours.

Here’s how it works

Using our unique system, ABE will deep clean your floor and apply a preservation finish that will maintain the integrity and protect your original finish. This process removes soil and grit that is impossible to remove with products available to the homeowner. Your floor will be renewed and ready for use in a matter of hours with no messy sanding and the inconvenience that goes along with it.

ABE’s 3-step Hardwood Floor Cleaning and Preservation Process

1. Deep clean and prep your current floor finish to receive a new preservation finish. We use a professional high-speed rotating brush machine to lay down a specialty cleaner, agitate it and then bring it directly back up with squeegees and a vacuum. This leaves the floor dry.
2. Rinse and neutralize to bring up any remaining residue. This is accomplished with our professional-grade hardwood cleaner. The floor is now squeaky clean and ready for the next step.
3. Application of either Gloss or satin Preservation Finish. This finish will be your “wear” finish, applied to protect the original finish and keep your floors in great shape for generations to come. This finish is a modified factory finish designed to bind to original urethane, and aluminum oxide based coatings. A thin but durable preservation coating is applied. Depending on traffic and use, this process can be repeated every year or two to keep your floors beautiful. It will not yellow or change the color of your original floor.

Does ABE’s Hardwood Floor Cleaning and Preservation System remove scratches and dents?

ABE’s Hardwood Cleaning and Preservation System does not remove scratches and dents, rather minimizes them.

Our system does not remove any of the intact, original finish or wood. With a sanding or screening process, where the finish is removed along with some of the surface of the wood, the scratches and dents will be removed, but this is a messy, time consuming and expensive process.

Our system will greatly improve the look of your floor. Most micro scratches that dull your floor will be filled and disappear. Heavier scratches are coated over, but may still be visible. Dents in the wood remain but may also be less visible. Thousands of customers are enjoying the beauty of their hardwood floor again through application of the preservation system.

We are sure you will love the results!

NOTE: ABE’s Hardwood Floor Cleaning and Preservation System is designed to be used where the orginal hardwood floor finish is still intact. If the original finish is worn down to the raw wood the homeowner will need to consider another option.
