Hardwood Flooring Care Tips

 Protecting your investments:

  • Countersink and fill all nail holes.
  • Vacuum or sweep regularly.
  • Remove spills promptly using a clean, dry terry cloth.
  • Use felt protectors under heavy pieces of furniture and chairs.
  • Use protective mats at all exterior entrances
  • Spiked heels or shoes in need of repair can severely damage your floor.
  • Never wet or damp mop your wood floors. Water can cause damage to wood flooring
  • Maintain 40%-60% relative humidity to reduce the natural expansion and contraction of wood.
  • For engineered and longstrip hardwood floors properly installed over subfloor radiant heating systems, surface temperature should not exceed 85° F.
  • Never use oil soaps, wax, liquid or other household products to clean your floor.
  • The sun's UV rays can change the color of your floor.
  • Keep animal nails trimmed.
  • Protect your floor when using a dolly for moving furniture or appliances. Never slide or roll heavy furniture or appliances across the floor.
  • If your floor becomes scratched or dull, repairs can often be made using repair accessories.
