The floor surface will be scrubbed with a hard floor cleaning machine which has a mesh pad attached at the end. This helps remove the top layer of the floor’s sealant. The technician will then spread a special cleaning solution all over the floor and leave it to settle for a while. This solution will soak up all the accumulated dirt and grime from the surface. When the time is up, the technician will use a special extraction machine to remove the cleaning solution along with all of the dislodged dirt and contaminants. Finally, the floor will be sprayed with the right sealant and you will be left with a perfectly clean and protected floor.

5-Star Rated Hard Floor Cleaning Experts in London
Choosing the Right Hard Floor Cleaning Service for Your Needs
Hard floors can lose their shine and professional appearance over time due to daily foot traffic, dirt, grease, stains and product build-up. The right treatment depends on your floor type, its condition and the results you want to achieve.
Professional hard floor scrubbing is ideal for floors affected by stubborn dirt, grease, grime and detergent residue that regular mopping cannot remove. Using specialist equipment and cleaning solutions, we lift embedded dirt and refresh high-traffic areas. Perfect for:
- End of tenancy cleaning – restore floors before inspections by removing dirt, marks and daily wear
- After builders cleaning – remove post-renovation dust, residue and construction debris
- Spring cleaning – refresh dull floors and eliminate built-up grime
- Commercial hard floor cleaning – keep offices and business premises clean, presentable and well maintained
When protective finishes become faded, patchy or scratched, professional polishing and re-coating can restore the appearance of your floors. This treatment helps bring back shine while adding protection against future wear. Ideal for:
- Restoring tired-looking tile, stone and other hard floors
- Improving the appearance of busy homes and commercial spaces
- Maintaining floors after regular use
Combining hard floor cleaning with window cleaning creates a brighter, cleaner-looking property. Sparkling windows improve natural light, while professionally cleaned floors enhance the overall appearance of your home or workplace.

What’s included in our professional hard floor cleaning service?
We will send an experienced hard floor cleaning technician to your property on the appointed date. He will bring with him an advanced Orbot Vibe dual-action orbital machine equipped with UltraLIFT melamine pads, designed to deliver superior results on tiles, grout, and heavily soiled surfaces. The cleaner will then carefully inspect your floor in order to determine the most suitable technique to clean it.
Depending on the type of floor you have, the technician will choose one of the following cleaning methods:
Sealed Floor Cleaning Method
Polished Floor Cleaning Method
We use this method when cleaning linoleum and vinyl floors. After the cleaner performs the initial inspection, the floor will be thoroughly cleaned and mopped. A special stripping solution is then applied to the floor and left for about 15 minutes. When that time passes, the cleaner will use a dual-action floor cleaning machine with mesh pads to strip the polish. This way the old layer of polish will be removed along with all the accumulated dirt. Afterwards, the floor will be thoroughly mopped with a neutraliser. Lastly, a new layer of polish is applied depending on the type of floor you have. Once this is done, you will need to wait two to three hours before you can walk on it again.
Regular Orbital Machine Cleaning
Of course, if your floor doesn't need recoating, then the technician will just clean it thoroughly. He will spray it with a special cleaning solution that will dislodge any residing grime which he will then clean with the help of a advanced Orbot Vibe cleaning machine. As no polish or coating is applied during this process, the floor is left ready for immediate use with zero drying time.

Floor types we do not cover

Certain natural stone and wood restoration processes demand highly specialised tools, grinding systems, or sanding equipment used exclusively by dedicated restoration specialists. These surfaces require specialist grinding, honing, sanding, or sealing processes that differ significantly from standard hard floor cleaning methods.

Hard floor cleaning London - frequently asked questions
What is the most efficient way to clean hard floors?
The best way to clean hard floors is by sweeping or vacuuming to remove loose debris, followed by mopping with a suitable cleaning solution. Dirt and grime are easily trapped by microfiber mops. Consider using a cleaning solution designed specifically for your floor type for a deeper clean.
How much does the hard floor cleaning service cost?
It costs approximately £70 to £120 to clean hard floors in the UK, with costs ranging between £2.50 and £10 per square meter. Scrubbing and cleaning alone might cost £2.50 per square meter, whereas polishing might cost £5 per square meter.
How long does the hard floor cleaning service usually take?
Cleaning hard floors usually takes between 2 and 4 hours, depending on the size and condition of the rooms. A half-day or even a full day of cleaning is usually required for larger areas or heavily soiled floors.
How often should you wash hard floors?
You should sweep or vacuum hard floors daily to remove loose dirt and debris, and damp mop them once a week, particularly in high-traffic areas. Kitchens, bathrooms, and areas with heavy foot traffic might need more frequent mopping, like twice a week.
Are the hard floor cleaning technicians licensed?
Yes, they have all the necessary certification and experience. They are also insured.
Do I have to move the furniture?
