Hardwood Floor Cleaning in Delhi NCR
A wooden floor does not fade from use alone; it dries out in summer and swells in the monsoon, and the finish wears in the walking lanes first. Sanding back to bare wood, filling the gaps and rebuilding the surface is what brings it back. Delhi NCR mixes very old housing stock with new high-rise towers, so a single visit can mean Kota stone in one room and Italian marble in the next. We carry pads for both and quote each surface on its own merit.

What changes the price for professional hardwood floor cleaning cost in Delhi NCR
| Factor | Effect on rate | What to expect |
|---|---|---|
| Total area | Bigger areas cost less per sq ft | Slab rates above 1,000 sq ft |
| Damage depth | Grinding raises the rate | Decided by the test patch |

Ask for one written rate per surface. A single number for the whole house without an inspection always changes later.
Buff or full polish? A straight answer
| Condition of the floor | Correct job | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Dull but even, no scratches | Buff only | Surface is sound, only the sheen is lost |
| Light scratches and lane wear | Diamond polish | Surface layer needs refining |
| Visible lippage or deep scratches | Grinding plus polish | Buffing cannot level stone |
| Wax or polish residue build-up | Strip, then polish | New finish will not bond over residue |
Buffing is the cheaper option and we will tell you when it is enough. Selling a full polish for a floor that only needed a buff is how a contractor gets a bad name.
Timing is agreed before the crew arrives: arrival window, the room sequence and the handover time are confirmed in writing, so nobody is waiting around or guessing when the floor will be free.
Quality is checked twice: once mid-job, when the first section is finished and you can see the achievable gloss, and once at handover when the whole surface should read evenly under daylight and under your own lighting.
Nothing is hidden behind a shine. Where a surface has damage that polishing cannot correct, we mark it during inspection and put it in writing, so expectations are set before work starts rather than argued over afterwards.

Professional Hardwood Floor Cleaning Cost - common questions
How long before we can use the floor?
PU and lacquer floors are walkable after 24 hours and ready for furniture after 48. Melamine dries in 12-24 hours. Oil finishes can be walked on almost immediately but need re-oiling twice a year.
How often does a wooden floor need refinishing?
Homes every 6-10 years; offices and cafes every 3-5 years, or sooner if the walking lanes turn pale while the edges still look fine.
Can water stains and swollen boards be fixed?
Light black water marks and grey patches sand out. Boards that have cupped or gone spongy usually need replacing, and we identify those during the free inspection.
Will sanding fill the house with dust?
We sand with dust control and mask doorways, skirting and furniture. A fine settling of dust nearby is normal in any sanding job, and we wipe the work area before handover.
Is the price negotiable?
The rate per sq ft is not inflated to leave room for haggling. We scope honestly: if the floor needs only a buff, we quote a buff instead of a full diamond job, and tell you when the cheaper option will hold.
Do you take advance payment?
The package is confirmed in writing first. Advance for material is normal on large jobs; the balance is settled after the walkthrough.
How do I know if buffing is enough?
If the floor is evenly dull with no visible scratch pattern, a buff usually restores it. If you can see lanes, scratches or a step between slabs, it needs polishing or grinding, and we show you why on a test patch.
Is buffing a waste of money then?
Not at all. It is the correct maintenance step for a sound floor and costs a fraction of a full job. It becomes a waste only when the surface damage needs something deeper.
Can you do a test patch first?
Yes, on every job. One tile or a corner, so you judge the actual result before committing to the whole floor.
