Hardwood Floor Cleaning FAQs

1. Is professional hardwood floor cleaning worth it?

Yes, professional hardwood floor cleaning is worth it because it removes built-up dirt, residue, and contaminants that dull the finish over time.

Carter’s Carpet Restoration uses safe, low-moisture methods that deep clean without saturating the wood, restoring shine and protecting your floors from long-term wear.

2. How do professionals clean hardwood floors?

Professionals clean hardwood floors using specialized equipment that scrubs and extracts soil with minimal water.

Carter’s Carpet Restoration uses neutral pH cleaners and controlled moisture to loosen and remove grime while preserving your floor’s finish and integrity.

3. How often should I have my hardwood floors professionally cleaned?

Most homeowners should have their hardwood floors professionally cleaned every 12 to 18 months.

Busy households with pets, kids, or high foot traffic may benefit from cleaning every 6 to 12 months to keep floors looking bright and prevent surface damage.

4. Can you clean engineered wood and laminate floors too?

Yes, Carter’s Carpet Restoration safely cleans engineered wood and laminate floors as well as solid hardwood.

Each type of flooring is treated with the correct cleaning solution and equipment to avoid excess moisture or streaking.

5. Will professional cleaning damage my wood floors?

No, professional cleaning will not damage your wood floors when performed properly.

Carter’s technicians use gentle agitation and low-moisture techniques that lift dirt without harming the finish, ensuring your floors stay beautiful and durable.

6. Do you offer protective coatings after cleaning?

Yes, Carter’s Carpet Restoration offers optional protective coatings after cleaning to help guard against scuffs, spills, and everyday wear.

These coatings add a polished finish and extend the life of your floors between professional services.

7. Should I mop hardwood floors with water?

No, you should not use excessive water when mopping hardwood floors.

Standing water can seep into seams and cause swelling or warping. Use a damp microfiber mop and a neutral-pH cleaner instead.

8. What should I avoid using on hardwood floors?

Avoid harsh chemicals, vinegar, wax-based products, and oil soaps on hardwood floors.

These can dull the finish, leave residue, or make refinishing more difficult later. Carter’s uses professional-grade cleaners that are safe for all finishes.

9. Can I use a Swiffer or steam mop on wood floors?

You can use a dry or slightly damp Swiffer, but avoid steam mops on hardwood floors.

Steam can force moisture beneath the surface and damage the finish over time. Stick to dry or low-moisture cleaning methods between professional services.

10. How long does hardwood floor cleaning take?

Professional wood floor cleaning typically takes one to two hours depending on the area size and soil level.

Drying time is minimal since low-moisture equipment is used, so you can walk on your floors soon after the service.

11. How much does professional wood floor cleaning cost?

Pricing for wood floor cleaning depends on the size and condition of the area and whether you add protective coating.

Contact Carter’s Carpet Restoration for a customized quote or to schedule a professional floor cleaning appointment.

12. How can I keep my wood floors clean between professional services?

To keep wood floors clean between professional services, sweep or vacuum regularly and wipe up spills right away.

Place rugs in high-traffic areas and avoid using water or abrasive pads. Regular maintenance helps preserve the floor’s finish and shine.

Carter’s has always been a reliable business over our many years of having them clean our carpets.

The technician, Jose, was polite and on time. He took time to first check over everything for special cleaning needs and was efficient finishing in time for us to leave for another appointment as requested.

The young man who cleaned our carpets was very friendly & did a great job. There were a few spots we weren’t sure would come out. But he got them out.
Shawn Rogan
Another great service experience from Carter's Carpet. We have used Carter's several times over the 17 years of owning our home - sometimes due to a dire pet-initiated emergency and others for upkeep on our carpet to get as many years out of it as we can. Our recent service was for some pet stains and odors and to brighten up the stairway. The scheduling was easy. The day of service went smoothly with a prompt and well-mannered technician and the end result was what we expected. We appreciate being able to support a family-owned local company that does a great job.
Kathy Hickox
Carpets look great. Jose was very professional and did a great job. Will use Carters again.
Sara Harris
Carter’s Carpet Cleaning did an amazing job for us! They cleaned our rugs, upholstery, and carpet, and managed to get out every stain. Best of all, there was no weird smell left behind—everything looked and felt fresh. The technician arrived right on time, was very thorough, and clearly cared about doing the job right. Their pricing is fair, and the quality of work far exceeded my expectations. I will definitely be using them again for their other services. Highly recommend!
Laura Taylor
I had an excellent experience with Carter’s Carpet Restoration. They arrived on time and were professional and pleasant. They removed stains that I thought would not come clean. My carpet looks brand new. I will highly recommend them.

Win “Jube” Harris
Friendly, professional, and thorough. I was scheduled right away; they were on time and completed the job. My carpet was very clean. I've used them in the past and would recommend this company.
Katie Volpe
We had a minor job but needed attention to detail. We also were hoping for a quick repair. Carters was locally operated, replied very quickly, had great communication, and did the service quickly. The carpet patch looks great. Exceeded expectations and a value. Thank you.
Steve Hutchings
Great job on both our carpets and kitchen floor tile. I have not seen the grout so clean in years! Glad to have it sealed so it will stay that way. Our technician was great. Efficient, polite, got the job done, and paid attention to details. Will use this service again.
Jan Evgenikos
Excellent work! I cleaned my couch and recliner at least five times with the number one cleaner on the market. By the way, the smell of that cleaner was about as bad as the kitty urine odor. Anyway, I couldn't get the smell out. I finally used a steam cleaner, but still couldn't get the odor out. Carter's Carpet Cleaner was successful in removing the kitty urine odor leaving a very pleasant, refreshing smell. Also, the two employees were excellent, highly experienced, kind and respectful.
charles hummer
Excellent and courteous!
Antonio Monterrubio
So if you happen to notice that your 9 x 12 white wool carpet doesn't like it should and you wondering why did I spent so much cheddar on it? Well let me tell that Carters Carpet brought that joy back after they finished cleaning and the results were perfect, like new !!
Protect your investment and let Carter's Carpet help you maintain that look. Second time I request their services, 1st time was to refresh my white linen couch, and yes awesome job, so let's just say I no longer worry that much about being careful around these two items for I know Carter's Carpet knowledge and equipment is current, as well as their technicians. Overall I'm well pleased with their service.

Give them a try, it's rare to find customer service like this!
Bryan King
They did a great job of cleaning my stone flooring and shower. The grout looks it did when first installed
William Thompson
When I called the company, I could tell it was one of the owners who answered the phone. Their business was very important to them as was getting my business. At first the prices seemed a little bit more, but the other company’s nickel and dime you. The technician was nicely groomed, kind, confident, professional and was so easy to work with. The other companies I called locally really could’ve cared less that I was on the phone. I definitely recommend this company
rosemary ralston
I have used Carter's for over 10 yrs. They are fantastic. This yr was harder because of a new puppy in my household. Austin did an amazing job restoring my cream colored Berber carpet. They are the best.
Cynthia Forsberg
The staff was very professional and thorough. Our carpets look great.
Sharon O'Neal
I use these guys every year in the spring and fall. They always deliver great service and happy customer service. I highly recommend them.
Robert Kilburg
First and foremost, got everything clean - all carpets and cloth dining room chairs. Second, total pros - conscientious, meticulous, and courteous. This is our fourth time using Carter's, and we will continue to do so.
Julie Parsons
Austin was professional, thorough and very friendly. He did an excellent job and I will definitely use Carter's Carpet again. Thank you!
Stan W
Carter's did a great job re-stretching our carpet. After several years we ended up with a pretty good ripple in our master bedroom carpet. Carter's technicians came out and were able to work around our heavy bedroom furniture without moving the bed. The carpet looks great, very happy.
Cleatta Simpson
I've used Carter's Carpet for a number of years. They never disappoint!
