What are you using to clean your hardwood?

This is probably the MOST asking question… our customers are asking us, “what should I be using?” and we are asking them, “what have you been using?” And the answers matter!

Let’s tackle what you should be using first. For sealed hardwood floors (urethane finished hardwood) you should be using a floor cleaner that is approved for hardwood and does not leave a film. As Bona Certified Craftsmen, we love Bona maintenance products. They are superior for several reasons, but most importantly they are going to clean your floors without leaving a film.

Now let’s move on to what many people have been using. There are a lot of products on the market that offer to restore your floors. I am here to tell you that cleaners don’t restore urethane finishes. Products claiming to restore your hardwoods to their old brilliance will most certainly be coating your floors with a temporary shiny film. That shine WILL dull over time. The real problem though, is not that the shine isn’t permanent. The real problem is that the film is permanent. So you are basically left with filmy, dull, dirty floors. The only fix for most of these dulled out “restoring cleaners” is to re-sand your floors. You read that right. The cure for badly coated floors is a complete re-sand. That’s why the floor cleaner you use is so important.

So if you’re looking for floor cleaner in St. Louis I invite you to stop into Champion Floor Company to buy a bottle or two of the RIGHT cleaner, like Bona. We have kits to get you started on the right foot. If you have already been using something that is leaving your floors dull, give Champion Floor Company a call to see if it is something we can help you with. Either way, if you are unsure, give us a ring.

Champion floor company did an amazing job with the floors in my 120 year old home. The floors did have some damage and they managed to make them look beautiful. They were so easy to work with, they answered all my questions, were professional and treated both myself and my home with respect. I would highly recommend this company .

Champion refinished our existing hardwood floors as well as put in new in a larger area of the house. They did a great job and I would highly recommend them.

Recently had carpet replaced in my family room. Champion was the only company willing to work within my time frame. I am a bit of a tough customer and expect a square job for my dollar and Champion exceeded those expectations. The installer was incredible and really put in the effort with the details to complete a perfect job. I could not be more impressed with this new carpet. THANK YOU SO MUCH!

The best people to work with. They help from the beginning to end and then make sure you're happy. Kim is so helpful and her installation staff is great to work with. I will only shop here for flooring.

The floor project on our new home turned out GREAT! … but, not a surprise. Champion Floor Company did two other great jobs on our current home over the last few years, so we knew we had chosen wisely. A few things we really appreciate: 1. Ralph assessed the job and a fair bid was created — all in a timely manner. 2. Mike called to schedule; sent an email and stuck to it. 3. Saib led the work at the house, arriving on time each day, completing the estimated work, and communicating with us throughout the process. Champion Floor Company is fair, planful, reliable, and the resulting work is spectacular.

Dennis and the team did an awesome job. They were prompt, and they repaired and refinished the floors beautifully. I would definitely use them again. I love the color!!
