Wood Floor Cleaning Option #3

Good morning everyone!  We have made it to Friday!  I really hope everyone has had a great week, and gets a chance to enjoy the weekend.  Today we are going to finish talking about the last option of cleaning available by professional wood floor cleaning companies.  As you can recall we went over the first cleaning option; Intensive Cleaning, on Monday. Link: Cleaning Option #1 Blog  And then on Wednesday we then talked about the second ; Clean and Refinisher  Link: Cleaning Option #2 Blog.

The third option is the Tykote Dust-Free Recoating System.  We love educating everyone on the Tykote System, because it is the new solution to so many floors!  I would like to start off by telling you, not all wood floor cleaning companies offer this option.  Most companies only offer the Intensive Cleaning, or the Clean and Refinisher.  The Refinisher will stay good on your floor for about a year, depending on traffic and wear, and then you will need another clean and application of Refinisher.  With the Tykote System, we are actually chemically bonding a new finish to your floor that will last anywhere from 5-7 years!

So with the Tykote System the floors will first be cleaned the same way as in the Intensive Cleaning option.  The floors will then be coated with a protective coating, that also acts as a bonding agent between the floors and finish coat.  The finish coat is then applied to the floors.  This is the same type of finish that a hardwood floor installer company would use when first installing your floors.  The customer can pick between several different sheen levels as well.  Any where from matte to super gloss!

There are two different ways to apply a finish coat to a wood floor.  The more traditional way is to mechanically prepare the floors by sanding them down, and then applying the finish.  The new and improved way is to chemically bond the finish to floors.  By chemically bonding the finish, there is NO DUST created by sanding your floors!  Also the time is cut into hours instead of days!  This is a fairly new concept to the wood floor industry, however the bigger markets (like Dallas and OKC) have been doing it for awhile now with great success!  Also, the products used are Green!  So no crazy smells or fumes will be lingering in your home, and you DON'T have to go stay in a hotel!

At the bottom of today's blog I will show a before and after picture of a floor that we used the Tykote System on.  In many spots the floors were wore down to the bare wood, with no finish left on them.  The customers could not afford to re-sand their floors, but they knew they needed to do something with them.  For more information on our company or processes, you can visit our website at Wichita Wood Floor Cleaning or give us a call at the office at 316.747.4066.  Have a great day!
