Commercial Floor Care & Refinishing in Greater Boston
Bring your building’s floors back to life - without the cost of replacement.
Your floors take more abuse than any other surface
Foot traffic, spills, moving equipment, and years of standard cleaning can leave even high-quality flooring looking worn, dull, and damaged. But replacement isn't always the answer — and for most commercial and multifamily buildings in Greater Boston, it isn't necessary.
78-Clean's floor care crews go far beyond what routine cleaning can do. Every technician is ISSA-trained, meaning they follow industry-standard processes for each floor type — not guesswork, not improvisation. The right method, the right equipment, and the right products for each surface, every time.
Did you know? The EPA estimates that 90% of floor finish wear occurs in just 20% of a building's floor area — typically entryways, corridors, and common areas. Targeted professional care on those zones delivers the highest return on your maintenance budget.
“We recently had our office rugs cleaned and the crew did a great job! The whole process of scheduling and communicating was easy and professional. I highly recommend 78CLEAN.”
Floor care services
Commercial Carpet Cleaning
Standard vacuuming only removes surface-level debris. 78-Clean's carpet shampooing service uses a comprehensive deep-clean method that penetrates carpet fibers to lift ground-in soil, remove stubborn stains, and eliminate embedded odors. Our truck-mounted hot water extraction system delivers cleaning power that portable units can't match — reaching deeper into carpet fibers and extracting what regular machines leave behind.
Commercial carpet warranties are often voided without documented professional cleaning — most manufacturers require it at least annually. A cleaning record protects your investment.
Tile Scrubbing, Stripping & Waxing
Machine scrubbing removes built-up residue and surface scuffing completely. Our stripping and waxing service removes old wax layers and applies a fresh protective coat — leaving tile floors looking new and reducing the time your cleaning crew spends maintaining them between treatments.
A freshly stripped and rewaxed floor can reduce your janitorial time on that surface by up to 30% — cleaner floors stay clean longer.
Hardwood Floor Care
Hardwood floors in commercial and multifamily buildings require products and techniques specific to the finish and species. 78-Clean uses hardwood-appropriate solutions and equipment to clean, condition, and protect wood floors without causing warping, swelling, or finish degradation.
Improper cleaning products are the leading cause of premature hardwood floor damage in commercial buildings.
Vinyl & LVT Floor Refinishing
Our restoration process strips old finish, deep-cleans the surface, and applies a fresh protective coat — restoring the floor's original appearance at a fraction of replacement cost. Vinyl and LVT floors in lobbies, corridors, and common areas respond particularly well to refinishing programs on a regular maintenance cycle.
Grout Cleaning & Restoration
Professional grout cleaning uses specialized equipment and solutions to pull debris out of grout lines and restore their original color — addressing one of the most common reasons building common areas appear older and less well-maintained than they actually are.
Discolored grout is one of the most common reasons building common areas appear older and less well-maintained than they actually are.
Floor care as part of your building's maintenance calendar
Floor care isn't a one-time event — it's a maintenance discipline. 78-Clean works with property managers to build floor care programs scheduled around your building's budget cycle and seasonal needs. High-traffic areas like entryways and corridors may need quarterly attention. Carpet shampooing in multifamily common areas typically fits an annual or semi-annual cycle. Stripping and waxing tile floors is most effective on a scheduled rotation rather than deferred until visible deterioration sets in.
For buildings with multiple floors or multiple properties, our Floor Care Authorization program allows existing 78-Clean clients to schedule floor care services across multiple buildings or service types in a single streamlined process — Floor Care Authorization.
For deep cleaning that goes beyond floor surfaces — fixtures, common areas, and building-wide restoration — see our Deep Cleaning service.
