Maintaining Hardwood Floors.
Cleaning:
It is very vital to properly know how to clean hardwood floors to avoid any damage.
-
Avoid using brooms with stiff bristels and vacuums where the bristels are fairly to very rough.
-
Mop floor with dry damp mop. ( DO NOT soak your floor in cleaning solution. It will cause the water to soak down and eventually stain your floor from water/ liquid damage.)
-
If you have area rugs, make sure to vacuum about 2-3 times weekly to avoid dirt seeping into the weaves of the rug, which can cause scratching of the wood floor.
-
Some cleaners are not made for every type of floor. Make sure you are using liquids that are MADE for hardwood floors to avoid staining the wood.
