Hardwood Maintenance
One of the main benefits of hardwood flooring is that they are low maintenance floors that require only a little more maintenance than sweeping on a regular basis to remove dirt. Cleaners are only needed when cleaning spills, removing scuff marks or major cleanings like spring cleaning.
- Place walk-off mats at every door that are regularly maintained
- You can and should vacuum your floors daily
- Use the correct floor cleaner
- Don’t assume that any household cleaner should be safe for your hardwood floors
- Cleaners should be applied with a terry cloth head mop
- Less is more… use only a small amount of cleaner
- Only use wax on floors with a wax finish
- Wipe up spills immediately
- For stubborn stains like chewing gum or candle wax try using a credit card
- Use technical support
