Steamatic now offers wood floor cleaning.
We are always looking for new and better ways to clean and maintain the floors that we sell. Our newest tool in the cleaning toolbox is the Dirt Dragon designed for professional hardwood maintenance. This machine gives our Steamatic division a superior cleaning machine complete with proprietary chemistry to clean wood. The process is dustless and can be used for 1) intensive cleaning, 2) cleaning and refinishing or 3) cleaning and recoating.
The intensive cleaning step aggressively scrubs the floor to remove built up dirt and contaminants. This can be performed as a simple routine maintenance procedure.

One word of caution, looking at the extracted cleaning solution comes with a certain “yuck” factor. We were amazed the first time we saw the amount of dirt extracted in one cleaning pass. Of course, some floors are dirtier than others, but it was a definite “WOW!”

After the cleaning step, you have three options: 1) call it a day, my floor is clean, 2) apply the Hardwood Floor Refinisher to restore a uniform sheen of gloss or satin, or 3) apply the TyKote Dust Free Recoating system for a uniform sheen PLUS a protective coating for more durability.
In our first use of the Tykote system, we found the results to be quite impressive. Not only did the floor look great, there was no sanding involved (with the attendant mess) and the finish dries quickly…3 hours to walk on it with socked feet and 24 hours to replace furniture. We found it to be a great alternative to re-sanding. Call us for more information.
