Floor cleaning at £6 per m²
Monster Cleaning cleans hard floors in London, Liverpool and Manchester for £6 per m², or £8 per m² if you want the floor polished as well. A 15 m² kitchen floor comes to £90 for a clean, or £120 cleaned and polished. Tile, grout, stone, wood, laminate and vinyl each get the product and the method that suits the material. The dirt comes out of the grout lines and the grain, and the finish is left as it was.
You pay for the area of floor, so you can work out the price before you ring. Measure each room in metres, multiply the length by the width and add the rooms together. Call 0333 555 2076 (8am to 7pm, seven days a week) and tell us the floor type, roughly how much of it there is and what state it is in.

Floor jobs start at £67, so a single small bathroom or hall is best booked alongside another room, or with a carpet clean on the same visit. Where the property has no free parking, we add what parking costs us.
Included in every floor clean
- A look at the floor before anything goes on it. If you are not sure what it is made of, the cleaner works it out, and tests first where it is hard to tell.
- Light furniture moved out of the way: chairs, small tables, rugs and any sofa that can be lifted. Heavy pieces are cleaned around.
- A full vacuum with a commercial machine before any water touches the floor.
- A cleaner matched to the material, left on for as long as that material needs.
- Machine work suited to the floor: a rotary buffer on wood, stone and concrete, a grout brush along tile lines, a flat microfibre mop on laminate and vinyl.
- Extraction on dirty tile and grout, so the dirty water comes up off the floor.
- A neutral rinse where an acid or alkaline product was used, and a microfibre dry-off on wood and laminate.
- The machines and the products.
Floor types we clean
The material decides the method. The same bucket of general-purpose cleaner that does no harm to vinyl can dull a wood finish or mark marble. This is what each floor gets.
Tile and grout
Grout soaks up whatever is in the mop water, a little more each time, so a floor that is mopped every week can still have grout lines far darker than the day they went down. The cleaner puts down an alkaline grout cleaner and leaves it for about ten minutes, runs a rotary brush along every line, then extracts the water so the dirt leaves the floor. Grout that has been grey for years often comes back close to its first colour. Porcelain, ceramic, quarry, concrete tile and Victorian encaustic are all fine; quarry and encaustic get a gentler approach because they are more porous than modern tile. To keep grout clean between visits, our guide to cleaning grout covers the hand method and the cleaners to keep off stone.
Natural stone
Marble, limestone, travertine, granite and slate. Marble and limestone are the ones to be careful with: anything acidic marks them, and that includes vinegar, lemon and most bathroom sprays. The cleaner uses a stone cleaner with a neutral pH and a rotary buffer to work it into the surface. On sealed stone, which covers most stone in homes, that is usually all it needs. Honed or scratched marble that needs diamond-pad polishing is a separate job; ring us with the details.
Wood floors
Solid boards, parquet and engineered wood look alike and are cleaned the same careful way: a pH-neutral wood cleaner, very little water and a flat microfibre system, with a buffing pad on floors that have lost their sheen. Wood should never sit wet. Where the finish has worn through to bare wood (kitchen doorways and under dining chairs are the usual places) we can clean it, but only sanding and re-finishing brings the colour back, and that is a different trade. You will hear this before we start.
Laminate
Laminate cannot take standing water. It gets a damp mop with very little water in it and a neutral product with no abrasives. Boards that have already swollen or lifted at the joints stay that way after cleaning, and the cleaner will point them out.
Vinyl, linoleum, rubber and concrete
Vinyl and luxury vinyl tile cope with more than laminate, though general-purpose products leave a film that dulls them within months. A proper neutral clean lifts that film. Real linoleum is sensitive to alkaline products and gets a neutral cleaner too. Rubber floors in utility rooms and home gyms take an alkaline clean and a thorough rinse, and polished concrete gets a neutral clean and a buff to hold its shine.
What a professional floor clean is
A professional floor clean is a machine clean of a hard floor, using a product chosen for the material, that lifts the dirt a mop leaves behind in grout lines, stone pores and wood grain. A mop with a supermarket cleaner is fine for the weekly wipe; you do not need us every week. What it cannot do is lift months of film and ground-in grit, because it pushes the water around on top of the floor and leaves some behind. That takes a machine.
Which floor clean to book
| Option | Price | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Hard-floor clean | £6 per m² | Tile and grout, vinyl, laminate, rubber and any floor that is dirty but still has its finish |
| Clean and polish | £8 per m² | Wood, stone and polished concrete that have lost their shine |
If you are unsure, describe the floor when you ring 0333 555 2076 and we will tell you which one suits it.
A floor clean, step by step
Book by area. Tell the office the floor type and roughly how many square metres there are.
Clear what you can. Take small items, pet bowls and anything fragile off the floor. If you want the floor under the heavy pieces done, move them before we arrive or say so when you book.
The floor is checked. The cleaner confirms the material, separates dirt from damage and tells you about anything that cleaning will not change, before any product goes down.
Dry, then wet. A full vacuum first, because wet cleaning over loose grit rubs it into the surface like sandpaper. Then the product, the machine and, on tile, the extraction.
Rinsed, dried and shown to you. A neutral rinse where it is needed and a dry-off on wood and laminate. The cleaner walks you round the finished floor before packing up.
Most floors are fine to walk on soon after: wood, laminate and vinyl in about 30 minutes, tile and sealed stone in about an hour.
When a floor clean is worth booking
Once a year suits most homes. Households with young children or pets often go every six to nine months. A few moments make it worth doing sooner.
Before you sell or let
Clean floors lift every listing photo, so book the clean before the photographer comes round.
When you move out
Inventory clerks look at the floors, and a landlord would much rather not replace one. An end of tenancy clean washes hard floors as standard; floors that need more than a mop, such as dark grout or dull stone, can go on the same booking as a floor clean.
After building work
Fine dust settles into grout and wood grain and keeps coming back up for days. Once the after builders clean has taken the dust out, the floor clean goes last.
After a pet accident
Urine on untreated stone or wood marks the surface within hours, so the sooner it is cleaned, the better the chance it comes out fully. If it has soaked through the finish into the wood, sanding is the only fix.
Floor cleaners checked before they start
4.7 on Google. See what customers say on our Google profile before you book.
The material is checked first. Nothing goes on your floor until the cleaner knows what it is made of, and anything cleaning will not fix is pointed out before the work starts.
Vetted cleaners. Every cleaner is interviewed in person and insured, and none works unsupervised until trained on our 57-point checklist.
Cleaning homes since 2014. More than 40,000 properties cleaned in London, Liverpool and Manchester.
Floor cleaning with other services
Floor cleaning covers hard floors only. Carpets and rugs are a different machine and a different price list: see carpet cleaning. Homes with both can have them done on the same day. A deep clean is the one to book for the whole home, and between professional floor cleans a regular cleaner keeps the floors mopped with the right product for each one. All our prices are on the prices page.
Floor cleaning questions
How do I work out how many square metres I have?
Measure the length and width of each room in metres and multiply them: a kitchen 5m by 3m is 15 m². Add the rooms together for the total, and leave out anything under fitted units.
Can you clean every type of hard floor?
Yes: tile (porcelain, ceramic, quarry, encaustic), natural stone (marble, limestone, travertine, granite, slate), solid and engineered wood, parquet, laminate, vinyl, LVT, linoleum, rubber and polished concrete. The method changes from one to the next.
Will cleaning damage my wooden floor?
Not with the right product. Wood is damaged by alkaline cleaners that strip the finish, by too much water that swells the boards and by abrasive pads that scratch the sheen. The cleaner uses a pH-neutral wood cleaner, very little water and soft microfibre.
My grout has gone black. Will it come clean?
Most darkened grout improves a great deal with a proper clean and extraction. Grout stained by mould or dye may not go all the way back to its first colour, and the cleaner will tell you what to expect after a look at it. If the grout is cracked or crumbling, it needs a tiler.
Do I need to move my furniture?
Only the heavy pieces, and only if you want the floor under them done. The cleaner moves chairs, small tables, rugs and light sofas. Sideboards, bookcases, beds and pianos are cleaned around unless you have moved them first.
What if I don’t know what my floor is made of?
That is fine; plenty of people don’t. Wood-effect floors that turn out to be LVT, and tiles that look like stone, come up all the time. The cleaner identifies the floor on arrival and tests before choosing the method.
