Hardwood Deep Cleaning in Gloucester, VA
Professional hardwood cleaning that removes the farm dust, old wax and residue that collect on Gloucester floors.
Old Wax and Country Dust Hide Good Floors
Many older Gloucester floors were waxed for decades before modern finishes, and that wax yellows and traps dust. Add farm and road dust tracked in every day, and a perfectly good floor can look tired. Our deep cleaning breaks down old wax and residue and lifts it out without soaking the boards, often revealing a finish worth keeping.

Gloucester, VA
Farmhouses and riverside homes
Gloucester's older farmhouses and homes near the York River and Mobjack Bay often have wood floors that were waxed for decades. Newer homes around Gloucester Courthouse and Hayes tend to have prefinished floors that just need buildup removed.
Wax, dirt and well water
Old paste wax yellows and holds dirt, and it has to be removed before any modern finish will stick. Farm and garden dirt tracked in from rural roads grinds into the floor, and hard well water can leave spots after mopping.
Find out what's on the floor first
We test a small spot to see whether the floor has wax or a modern finish, because they need different cleaners. Waxed floors get the wax lifted; finished floors get residue removed and, if wanted, a fresh maintenance coat.
Before we start
4 things to planWhat a deep clean does
From hazy to clean, in one visit.
Mopping pushes dirt and old polish deeper into the grain. Our three-stage clean takes it back out, so Gloucester floors look closer to the day they were finished.
Scrub
Counter-rotating brushes lift grime out of the grain and the bevels.
Rinse
A pH-balanced cleaner dissolves old polish and residue without harming the finish.
Extract
A wet vacuum pulls the dirty water straight back out, so the wood stays dry.
