Floor care by surface, not by habit.

Carpet and hard floors cleaned to the handling rule for the material, with a maintenance rhythm recommended for the surface you have.

The surface decides the method.

Most floor damage done by cleaning is done by using the wrong thing on the right floor. Sealed stone and unsealed stone behave differently. Timber reacts to water. Vinyl and LVT scratch. Carpet holds a stain long after the fibre looks dry.

So we ask what the floor is before we quote, and the method follows from the answer rather than from what is on the van.

SurfaceHow it is workedMaintenance rhythm we would suggest
CarpetVacuumed edge to edge, spot-treated as agreed, pile lifted; deeper work where the scope calls for itRegular vacuuming, periodic deeper treatment
Sealed hard stonePh-neutral cleaning, no acids or abrasives; resealing recommended when the surface stops beadingRegular mopping, reseal when the finish dulls
Unsealed or porous stoneMinimal water, product matched to the stone, no acidic agents, no aggressive scrubbingGentle regular cleaning, specialist reseal when needed
Timber and engineered boardsDamp rather than wet, surface-appropriate cleaner, dried as workedRegular dry care, periodic surface treatment
Vinyl and LVTNon-abrasive cleaner, no steel wool or scouring pads, edges and joints lifted of gritRegular mopping, protective finish where specified
Tiles and groutSurface cleaned on every visit, grout treated periodically rather than every timeRegular cleaning, periodic grout attention
Strip and polishOld finish removed, floor cleaned back, new coats applied and allowed to cureRecoated on a cycle set by foot traffic

Nothing here is a claim about a brand or a certification. It is the handling rule for each surface type, and it is why we ask what the floor is made of before quoting.
