Hardwood Care & Maintenance
Hardwood Care & Maintenance
Hardwood is one of the most low-maintenance flooring options on the market. Simply by establishing a daily care and maintenance routine and sticking to it, you can help to prolong the lifespan of your hardwood flooring and ensure that it consistently looks its best.
Regular Care
Daily hardwood floor care is as simple as investing in a broom and putting it to use. By sweeping every day, or every couple of days, you are actively working to remove dirt, dust, and other debris that can scratch and cause damage to your hardwood flooring. You may also elect to place welcome mats at each door, use area rugs to limit foot traffic, and encourage guests to remove their shoes before entering your home.
Stains & Spills
When it comes to hardwood flooring, spills & stains are not a major cause for concern. Simply by addressing any liquid spills immediately after they occur and wiping them up with a clean cloth, you can help to eliminate the potential for any lingering damage. If you wait to address spills, the substance could seep into the subflooring and provide long-term damage. When in doubt about how to handle a spill or mess, consult your hardwood flooring manufacturer.
