Ask the professional who will be installing your floor for
cleaning tips. Keep any cleaning solutions used for secondary
materials off your wood floors. Here are some tips for keeping
your hardwood floor in pristine condition:
- When moving heavy furniture, protect your hardwood floor
by slipping a piece of cloth under the legs or covering each
leg with a heavy sock.
- Put plastic or fabric-faced glides under the legs of furniture
to prevent scuffing and scratching.
- Remember that cleats, sports shoes and high heels can dent
any floor surface.
- Never wet-mop a hardwood floor. Standing water can dull the
finish, damage the wood and leave a discoloring residue.
- Wipe up food and other spills immediately with a dry or slightly
dampened towel. Consult with an installer, the finisher or the
manufacturer if there is any doubt of the kind of floor finish.
- Place mats and throw rugs at doorways, exteriors and interiors
to help prevent the tracking of grit, dirt and sand.
- Sweep or vacuum wood floors regularly.
