Hard Surface Restoration Service Details
Specialized restoration for hardwood, luxury vinyl, laminate, tile, grout and natural stone throughout Northeast Ohio.
Wax & Polish Removal
Wax, acrylic polish, mop-and-shine products, and cleaner residue can leave hard floors cloudy, sticky, uneven, or difficult to maintain. Optimal Hard Surface Restoration specializes in identifying and removing unwanted buildup from hardwood, luxury vinyl, laminate, tile, and other compatible hard surfaces.
Because every surface and coating reacts differently, we begin with material identification and test cleaning. We then use a controlled, surface-specific removal process designed to release the buildup without unnecessarily damaging the factory finish or underlying floor.
After removal, the floor is thoroughly rinsed and evaluated. Depending on the material and condition, we may recommend professional cleaning only, a hardwood recoat, or a compatible clear protective coating to improve appearance and future maintenance.
