Professional deep cleaning for hard floors — tile, stone, wood, vinyl, and laminate. Service provided by specialist partner Jackman Fabric Care, using the right methods and solutions for each floor type to restore genuine cleanliness and appearance.
What Regular Mopping Can't Do
Mopping maintains cleanliness, but it doesn't deep clean. Grout lines collect dirt and develop dark discolouration that mopping doesn't touch. Natural stone develops a dull film from cleaning product build-up and ingrained grime. Vinyl floors get a hazy layer of residue that dulls the finish. Regular cleaning maintains, but it doesn't restore.
Professional deep cleaning removes what mopping leaves behind — using equipment and solutions matched to the floor type, not a one-size mop and bucket approach.
💡 Pro tip: Natural stone floors in Crediton's hard water area collect calcium and mineral deposits on the surface over time. These need an appropriate pH-matched solution to dissolve — not the mop, and definitely not anything acidic on limestone or travertine.
Floor Type and Cleaning Approach
| Floor Type | Key Considerations | What We Use |
|---|---|---|
| Ceramic / porcelain tile | Grout deep cleaning critical | Alkaline solution + machine scrub |
| Natural stone (limestone, slate) | pH-sensitive — acid causes etching | Neutral or alkaline solution, no acid |
| Engineered / solid wood | Moisture-sensitive, needs low-moisture approach | Specialist wood floor solution |
| Vinyl / LVT | Residue build-up and dull film common | Appropriate LVT cleaner, low rinse |
| Laminate | Over-wetting causes swelling | Low-moisture specialist clean |

What to Expect
Step 1: Assessment
Floor type, condition, and specific problem areas are identified. Different sections of a floor (different stone types or tile and grout separately) may need different approaches.
Step 2: Pre-treatment
Heavy soiling, staining, and problem areas are pre-treated. Grout lines are treated with appropriate solution and given dwell time.
Step 3: Machine Clean
Professional floor cleaning equipment is used with matched solutions. The machine scrubs and extracts, removing ingrained dirt that mopping leaves behind.
Step 4: Grout Deep Clean (tiled floors)
Grout lines are specifically cleaned — often showing the biggest transformation.
Step 5: Rinse
All cleaning solution is thoroughly removed to prevent residue build-up.
Step 6: Review
Results are reviewed with you. Any areas where staining is permanent (eg deep-etched stone, permanently stained grout) are pointed out honestly.

Good to Know
> 🪨 **Stone sealing:** after professional cleaning, natural stone benefits from a fresh seal coat. The sealing service is available alongside cleaning and significantly increases stain resistance going forward. Worth considering if the floor has never been sealed or if the previous seal has worn off. **This service is provided by Jackman Fabric Care**, our specialist partner for floor and fabric care in Exeter and Devon. All enquiries and bookings go through Hembury Contracting.
Frequently Asked Questions about Hard floor cleaning in Crediton
What types of hard floor do you clean?
We clean ceramic and porcelain tiles, natural stone (slate, limestone, flagstone, travertine), engineered and solid hardwood, vinyl and LVT, and laminate. The cleaning method and solutions are matched to the floor type — stone needs very different treatment to ceramic tile.
Can you clean the grout too?
Yes — grout deep cleaning is included for tiled floors. Grout is porous and traps dirt and mould discolouration that mopping just can't shift. Professional cleaning restores grout close to original colour in most cases.
Will it damage the floor surface or the finish?
No — using the correct solution for the floor type is fundamental. Strong acidic cleaners used on the wrong stone can etch the surface permanently. We assess before applying anything and use pH-appropriate solutions.
Do you seal floors after cleaning?
Sealing is available as an additional service for natural stone and unglazed tile. Freshly cleaned and sealed stone floors are significantly more resistant to staining going forward. Ask when booking.
