Congratulations on your new hardwood floor! With the proper care and maintenance, you can keep your hardwood floors looking great for years to come.
|
| Wood Floor Care Tips:
- Keep the abrasive dust, dirt, grit and crumbs off your wood floor by sweeping or vacuuming on a regular basis
- Do not clean your wood floors with oil soap, furniture polish or window cleaner.
- Excessive mopping with water can cause wood to expand, possibly permanently damaging the floor in addition to dulling the finish.
- Other cleaners that have silicone, wax or oil soaps can leave a residue on the finish that will adversely affect the adhesion of a new coat of finish, requiring a complete sanding and finishing of your floors to remove it.
- Cleaners that do not leave any residue allow you to periodically "pad and recoat" your floors, which involves having your hardwood floor-finishing professional deep clean and abrade your floor, then add a new coat of finish, which dramatically conserves time and money and keeps your floors looking like new.
