Fantastic service. I had the pleasure of having Das help me with my marble floor polishing. Previously, I had scuffs and scratches and plenty of unremovable stains on the flooring, but after polishing, the marble floor is so clean it is like a mirror! (Photo as attached, the reflection of the sky can be seen!) Das is professional, friendly and skilled. He has also given me advice on how to maintain my floor to keep it shiny and lustrous! Thank you Das! Highly recommend him to anyone else looking to do marble polishing!

Very awesome work by DW Floor Polishing Singapore. The team has given my dull looking marble flooring a brand new life! The whole house now looks so good just like a brand new unit (look at that shine and reflections on the attached photo).Would like to thank the customer service team Ms. Lee for always being so responsive on WhatsApp and not forgetting the backend team who does the actual polishing work. Das knows his job well and we can safely leave the whole house in his good hands. Definitely a good choice for me to select DW Floor Polishing Singapore for marble polishing.

We hired DW floor Polishing on searching on the different companies. Found them to be most reasonable as we're also only polishing our living and dining area, so we decided on them. When Das( the technician) came over, he assured us that our marble will be as new. Both my daughter and I were quite skepital. After the living room was done, we was surprised as our living room's marble looks even better than we first moved to this flat 21 years ago!

I came across a post of theirs online and decided to call them so they could polish and varnish my floor. As a result of their excellent work, my floor looks good as new. I should also like to mention that the workers were so attentive and made sure that no spot was left unpolished. Great work!

When the time came to polish our floors, the workers performed the services we needed very speedily and finished everything in less than two hours. I really recommend them!

The floors of our home deteriorated so rapidly that we even wanted to have them overhauled completely. But due to time constraints, we thought we would have somebody polish them instead. After booking an appointment with this company, somebody came after a few days and examined what needed to be done. Although I expected them to do as mediocre a job as previous workers had done, they actually managed to make our parquet floors look beautiful again! I'm just so glad that I didn't decide to take the costly route of having them replaced. We really ar in awe of their work and intend to call them again if circumstances all for it.

I actually didn't know much about this company. So you can imagine how nervous I was when I decided to avail of their services. When the workers came, I didn't expect them to do much. But in fact they did! They were able to complete the floor polishing work in a very professional manner and did an excellent job in getting my floors cleaned up. Just so you know, they even did some extra work without charging us extra costs! Never have I experienced their level of service. As a result, I really recommend them to those in need of similar services!

I found this company online and asked if they could polish my marble floor. They were more than accomodating and arrived rather early. But what was more surprising was the fact that it didn't take long for them to complete their work. Now our floors look as good as new!

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
When considering options for your parquet floor, it is important to evaluate the advantages of parquet repair and hiring professionals for parquet polishing. To make the appropriate decision, it is advisable to thoroughly examine the floor after removing all furniture and belongings from it.

On the other hand, if you have a home with a parquet floor that was installed around 5-6 years ago and shows noticeable signs of damage such as warping, splintering, rotting, or missing pieces, it is recommended to opt for repairing the floor.

Things You Should Know About Parquet Polishing in Singapore
Since parquet flooring improves home value, many property owners in Singapore are opting to install parquet in their houses. Many of them are living in a home with parquet flooring for the first time, that’s why they would like to get more information about the parquet polishing services available and its benefits, so that they can plan the parquet polishing accordingly. Here are some things homeowners should know about parquet polishing.
What Is Parquet Polishing?
Marble and parquet polishing involve polishing the floor using a polish and applying a protective layer. For floors older than five years, sanding may be required to eliminate stains and scratches, while damaged or rotting sections of a parquet floor may necessitate refinishing by replacing the affected area.
What Does Parquet Polishing Involve?
The scope of work for parquet polishing varies depending on the condition of the floor. To ensure that your parquet floor will look shiny and clean at all times, you might want to know the benefits of regularly engaging in parquet polishing services.
Why Should You Do Parquet Polishing For Your Home?
Durability
Polishing the parquet floor can increase the durability of the floor significantly since damaged sections are replaced and a new protective layer is applied.
Remove Stains
Often the floor gets stained due to spills and dirt especially if there are children in the house. During polishing due to cleaning and sanding the stains are usually removed.
Increase the Value of Your Home
Statistical data indicates that it is easier to sell homes with wooden floors, and doing floor polishing properly increases the home value.
Aesthetics
Often due to grime, dirt, scratches, and stains, the original design of the parquet which made it very attractive is not visible. During polishing the floor is cleaned properly to remove the dirt, and it is polished to restore the design improving the aesthetics.
Check For Moisture
The protective coating for the floor can be checked by pouring a spoonful of water on the floor. If the water is absorbed, it indicates that the coating is absent, and polishing is required.
How To Prepare For Parquet Polishing?
To prepare for the wood polishing process, first, all the furniture from the room should be shifted to another room. The children and pets also should be moved away. The room should be cleaned thoroughly to remove all the dust.
After knowing the things you should know about parquet polishing, it also makes sense to know the reasons why regular parquet polishing is important.
6 Reasons Why Regular Parquet Polishing Is Important
Parquet flooring has always been the top choice for most people in Singapore. This is because it has an elegant and timeless look, making your home look extremely luxurious.
Over time, you will notice that your elegant-looking wood floor starts to lose its shine and begins looking very dull. If you ignore these indications, your parquet floor will reach a stage where you will have no option but to get them replaced.
However, there are several reasons why regular parquet polishing is important, and we will share them with you now. Once you learn more about them, you will never forget to do them ever.
Scratches
Parquet floors, just like other types of wood, can get easily scratched. To get rid of these scratches, you can either opt for professional parquet floor polishing or do the parquet polishing yourself.
Mould Growth
Moulds generally develop in wet and humid areas. The presence of water is generally damaging to your parquet floor and it worsens with the presence of fungus or mould.
If you do not want anything like this to happen, then opt for professional floor polishing services. This ensures there is no chance of mould development and keeps your parquet flooring safe from further damage.
Moisture
Parquet flooring is not the right choice for a bathroom, kitchen, or basement, as they have high humidity and moisture levels. Even using a wet mop to clean the parquet floors may damage them.
Like marble floorings, you need to make sure that you dry the mop after mopping your parquet floor properly as well as this helps to prevent water damage. However, you should engage in professional wood polishing if your floor already has water damage.
Crowning
Crowning occurs when your parquet floors are exposed to moisture. Your parquet floorboards may swell and push against each other if they absorb moisture from the subfloor or the air.
However, if you opt for regular parquet floor polishing, and get it done by an expert like DW Floor Polishing Singapore, then you will have nothing to worry about. Regardless of whether you are experiencing crowning or not, you can trust your wood polishing with us to ensure your floor is always shiny and in great condition.
Fading And Discolouration
If your parquet floor is overly exposed to sunlight, it can start to discolor and fade. This is why regular wood polishing is important. When your floors are regularly polished, they will not be easily damaged by sunlight.
Noise
When your parquet floor is first installed, it has solid and noise-free ground. However, with time, excessive movement, and wear and tear, some sections of your floor may result in creaking and clicking sounds you hear when you walk on the floor.
If you have neighbors living below you, this will prove to be very irritating to them and they may even complain to the Housing and Development Board. If you do not want this to happen, you should opt for regular parquet floor polish by hiring a floor polishing service provider.
Now that you know the importance of regular parquet polishing, you can now consider and follow the steps on how to do DIY parquet polishing.
Steps on How to DIY Parquet Polishing
Like wooden floors, parquet floors are extremely durable and quite easy to maintain. As a matter of fact, you can polish them yourself without having to seek assistance from professionals.
Polishing your parquet floors yourself means avoiding labor costs which can often be expensive considering that parquet floor polishing is a labor-intensive project. Below are some simple steps on how to polish parquet floors on your own.
Clear Out Your Space
As is the case with marble polishing, the first step in DIY parquet polishing is to remove all items in the room including carpets and furniture. Keeping the room well-ventilated by opening windows is also recommended as it enhances the drying process.
Start Vacuuming Your Floors
Next, make sure to vacuum your floors thoroughly. Vacuuming helps get rid of any fluff and dust that can pile up on parquet and wood floors and cause allergies.
Clean Your Floors With A Solvent
After vacuuming your parquet floors, it is time to clean them with a compatible solvent instructed by manufacturers. Incompatible solvent could end up incurring heavy damage which a floor polishing service will have to repair.
Remove Any Spots or Stains
Many people have parquet or marble floors with dark stains or spots caused by dirt and accidental spills. To get rid of them, all you need to do is apply a vinegar solution which you should then wipe off with a clean piece of cloth followed by a soft cloth.
Apply Wax On Your Floors
At this stage, you can apply your water-based acrylic wax. Make sure to spread it evenly and cover the entire area just as you would when doing wood polishing.
Polish Your Floors
By now, your wax should have dried permanently. Get a clean piece of soft cloth to polish the entire area and make sure to buff the area by applying hard stokes thoroughly.
It is highly recommended that you vacuum your parquet floors regularly after conducting DIY floor polishing so that they can maintain their appearance. You may also want to restrict people from wearing high-heeled shoes or bringing pointy-clawed pets to your home as these can easily cause scratches.
However, attempting DIY parquet polishing without the necessary skills can be ineffective, which is why you should have professional parquet polishing performed.
Why Should I Have Professional Parquet Polishing Performed?
Like marble flooring, parquet flooring has a very attractive look. However, even if parquet or wood floors look gorgeous initially, they will begin to lose their beauty and appear dull with time.
Regular parquet polishing helps maintain your floors so that they can look beautiful and remain strong for a very long time. To know why professional parquet polishing should be performed, take note of the following:
Parquet Floors Cannot Be Mopped
Some people believed that cleaning wood floors using a wet mop will yield good results as they have heard that parquet or wood floors can be cleaned using it and a diluted cleaner. On the contrary, water and wood are natural enemies.
If you have already made the mistake of cleaning your parquet floors using a wet mop, then the beautiful shine of your floor may have already been lost thereby making it look dull and unattractive. In order to get back their lost shine and beauty, seek help from professional floor polishing services.
Parquet Floors Cannot Simply Be Vacuumed
For those who do not like sweeping, vacuuming may appear as a perfect option. If you have parquet or wood flooring installed in your home, however, then never make the mistake of vacuuming your floor as this creates scratches.
If you have already vacuumed your parquet floor and created scratches, then you will need the help of a floor polishing service provider. Once their job is complete your parquet floor will become shiny and get a new lease of life and will shine no matter how badly scratched it was.
An Oil-based Cleaner Is Not Sufficient
When it comes to parquet floors, oil-based cleaners not only clean the wood but also the finish applied to them. Moreover, it will create buildup that can be difficult to remove later on.
To get a polished look, you should hire floor polishing services and let them complete the polishing task to perfection. Professionals know which solution and methods will be most suitable to polish your floor, and thus you can always be sure of the best outcome.
Vinegar And Water Are Not Ideal
Distilled white vinegar can certainly help you clean many things in your home. However, they are not fit for parquet floors because they can burn into the floor’s finish due to their acidic nature which can eventually make it look dull.
In such a situation, only a floor polishing service can help you. With the expertise that they have, they will easily be able to undo any damage caused on your floors so that they can look beautiful once more.
Parquet Floors Need Professional Cleaning Solutions
Many people think that they can use just about any cleaner for parquet or wood polishing which is wrong. For instance, if you use an ammonia-based cleaner, it can harm the color of the floors while oil-based cleaners, can create a milky residue and cause discoloration.
It will not be wise to polish or varnish your parquet floors yourself as they are an expensive investment and need professional care. Instead, hire floor polishing services to clean and polish your floors to perfection.
It is indeed important to have your parquet floor polished by professionals. Furthermore, you can also find out below how long it takes to polish a parquet floor.
How Long Does Parquet Polishing Take?
Knowing parquet floor polishing will restore the gloss to the parquet floor, most homeowners would like to find out how much time the polishing will take so that they can plan accordingly. The time taken by businesses offering parquet polishing services for floor polishing will vary depending on different factors which are discussed in detail below. Here is how long it typically takes to do parquet polishing.
Extent of Parquet Floor Damage
One of the main factors which determine the time for polishing and also how much the parquet floor polishing will cost is the extent of the floor damage. To determine whether you need parquet repair instead, the floor has to be inspected carefully to determine the extent of the damage, and the damaged section.
Amount of Cleaning and Polishing Required
The extent of cleaning required will vary depending on the wear and tear, and whether the parquet floor is polished already. This is why regular parquet polishing is important because in some cases, hand scraping may be required.
Weather and Room Size
When humidity levels are higher, it will take a longer time for the varnish or polish applied to dry. Likewise, during the rainy season when there is heavy rainfall, it will take more time for parquet varnishing and polishing to be completed.
Parquet Varnish Used
Choosing the right varnish for parquet varnishing is important. Oil-based varnish has become increasingly popular since it is cheaper, more durable, and has a better finish while water-based varnish is not very durable but it dries quickly in two to four hours.
Efficiency of Professionals
Experienced skilled professionals like DW Floor Polishing Singapore which has positive reviews and feedback are likely to be more efficient and will complete the polishing of your parquet floors more quickly.
Conclusion
Parquet polishing is an essential maintenance practice for homeowners in Singapore, aimed at preserving the beauty and durability of their parquet floors. Wood floors add elegance to homes, but over time they can lose their shine and become dull. Regular polishing helps maintain the elegant look of wood floors, removes stains, increases their value, restores aesthetics, prevents moisture damage, and addresses issues like scratches and noise. Homeowners can choose to polish their own parquet to avoid labor costs and can follow the provided steps on how to DIY parquet polishing. However, professional services ensure optimal results, save time and offer expertise in selecting the right solutions and methods for polishing. Lastly, to determine the duration of parquet polishing, factors such as floor damage, cleaning requirements, weather conditions, varnish type, and the efficiency of professionals should be considered.
