Hardwood floors are desirable, stunning and come with a few simple Do's and Don'ts
Let's start with the Do’s when caring for your hardwood floors:
- Do wipe up spills as quickly as possible, letting spills sit should be avoided at all costs
- Do sweep and vacuum your floors regularly to maintain the finish
- Do choose a floor cleaner and process recommended by your flooring manufacturer
- Do trim your pet’s nails regularly
- Do keep floors shaded as extended sun exposure can accelerate aging and change the tone of the floor color
- Don’t use abrasive products or cleaning tools with steel wool
- Don’t use a buffing machine
- Don't use oil-based, wax, polish or strong ammoniated products, which can dull your floor’s finish
- Don't wash or wet-mop the floor with soap, water, oil-soap detergent, or any other liquid cleaning material. This could cause swelling, warping, delamination and joint-line separation, and void the warranty
