The Job Overview
On a sunny Tuesday in October, the team arrived at a stunning fourth-floor apartment in Midtown Atlanta. The client, Mr. Todd, had reached out after discovering a waxy residue on his engineered bamboo floors, likely due to improper cleaning products used by his maids.
Initial Assessment
Upon inspection, it was clear that the floors had not been properly maintained. The wax buildup was evident, especially near the front door where the wood appeared significantly lighter. Scuff marks scattered across the surface indicated the presence of wax, which can trap dirt and diminish the floor’s natural beauty.
The Process of Wax Removal

- Wax Removal: Using specialized equipment, the team began the wax removal process. This involved applying a solution designed to break down the wax, followed by thorough cleaning.
- Buffing the Floors: After the wax was removed, the floors were buffed to restore their shine and reveal the beautiful patterns of the bamboo.
Results and Transformation
The transformation was remarkable. After two rounds of cleaning, the floors regained their original luster, showcasing the intricate designs of the bamboo. The difference was so striking that even the client noticed features of the floor he had never seen before.
Conclusion
This job not only restored the beauty of Mr. Todd’s floors but also served as a reminder of the importance of using the right products and techniques for floor maintenance. For homeowners, understanding the implications of using improper cleaning products can save time and money in the long run.
