Previous Problem Finishes
Be Aware; Many over the counter cleaners have a finish added to them that builds up and creates an unsightly floor that is hard to clean and remedy. They go by these names; Mop & Glow, Orange Glo, Bona Clean & Refresher, Bona Hardwood Floor Polish, Bruce Fresh Finish, OR any other cleaner with a finish or refresher.
We can attempt to remove these finishes at a considerable extra charge. However; it is almost impossible to completely remove all of the foreign finish. If you want a perfect new looking floor then only sanding and refinishing will achieve these results. We have several companies that we can recommend for this service.
