Hardwood flooring is elegant and durable but comes with specific needs to be kept in good condition. Here are some practices that are essential for its maintenance:
Cleaning
Daily: Try daily sweeping as your number one combater to prevent build-up from accumulating. When these tiny particles are dragged across your hardwood floor, they can act like sandpaper.
Weekly: Dry-mop, dust-mop, and/or vacuum at least once a week to remove fine dust particles from the floor.
Monthly: Consider hiring a professional finishing service for your Hardwood that can provide a surface finish or penetrating finish with specific products, ensuring your floor lasts longer and it’s always gorgeous.
Recommended Products:
Specific Cleaning Products: Look for products that are specific for wood floors, such as hardwood sprays or wood cleaners.
Polishing: From time to time, apply polish on your floors, and just like cleaning, look for specific hardwood products.
Regular Maintenance:
Prevent Scratches: Use glides on chairs, tables, couches, and rugs to protect the floor.
Spill Prevention: Clean every spill immediately and avoid excess water when cleaning your floor.
Regular Inspections: If there’s damage out of your reach, such as accentuated scratches, fading, or cracks, consider hiring professionals to renovate your floors with precision.
Conclusion
Keeping your Hardwood in tip-top condition is simple if done correctly and with the recommended products for it. Protect this great investment to keep the value it brings to your home. For more tips and specialized services, contact First Class Flooring!
