Timber Floor Cleaning & Maintenance Tauranga
Timber floors are an investment — and with the right maintenance, they'll look great for decades. Abstract Timber Floors offers professional deep cleaning, re-coating, and ongoing maintenance for both polyurethaned and oiled timber floors across Tauranga, Mount Maunganui, and the Bay of Plenty.
Deep Cleaning Over time, ingrained dirt and debris builds up in ways regular cleaning can't reach. Our state-of-the-art deep cleaning machinery loosens and extracts it all, restoring your floor's appearance and giving us a chance to assess its condition before small issues become costly ones. Great for busy homes, retail spaces, restaurants, bars, and anyone preparing a property for sale.
Oiled Floor Maintenance If your oiled floor is looking dry, faded, or patchy, it's time for some attention. Oiled floors need periodic maintenance to keep performing their best — we offer free in-home assessments and can re-oil or top up as needed.
Re-coating Where the existing finish is still structurally sound, a re-coat is often a faster and more cost-effective alternative to a full sand. We can adjust the sheen level to freshen the look, making it a smart option for pre-sale refreshes or general upkeep.
Day-to-Day Care For everyday cleaning between professional visits, we recommend using a pH-neutral timber floor cleaner with a damp microfibre mop — and avoiding steam mops entirely. Our sister brand Abstract Floor Care sells a cleaner formulated specifically for the timber floors we work on. It's what we recommend to every client after we finish a job.
FAQs
Timber floors are a long-term investment, and how you maintain them determines how long they last. We get asked a lot of the same questions — how to clean safely, whether steam mops are okay (they're not), and how to look after oiled finishes. We've answered the most common ones below.
If your floor is looking dull, flat, or just isn't cleaning up the way it used to, it usually means it's time for a professional deep clean or re-coat — both of which are significantly more affordable than a full re-sand. Our team is based in Mount Maunganui and works across Tauranga and the wider Bay of Plenty.

No — excess moisture can damage your timber flooring. Steam mops are especially risky, forcing moisture into the timber. Instead, use a lightly damp microfibre mop with a timber-safe cleaner suited to Tauranga’s humidity.
