Hardwood Care & Maintenance

Caring for Your Hardwood Floors

Simple Steps to Preserve Their Natural Beauty

Maintaining the natural beauty and extending the life of your hardwood floors involves consistent, gentle care. Here are a few basic practices that can make a significant difference in keeping them looking their best.

  • Sweep or Dust Mop Regularly: Use a soft-bristled broom or a microfiber dust mop daily or a few times a week to remove loose dirt, dust, and pet hair. This prevents scratching from abrasive particles.
  • Clean Spills Immediately: Wipe up any spills, both wet and dry, as quickly as possible with a clean, dry cloth. Avoid letting liquids sit on the surface, as this can cause damage.
  • Use a Wood-Specific Cleaner: When a deeper clean is needed, use a cleaning product specifically designed for hardwood floors, following the manufacturer's instructions. Use these sparingly and avoid excessive moisture.

Taking proactive steps can significantly reduce the likelihood of scratches, dents, and other damage, helping your hardwood floors maintain their elegance for years to come.

  • Use Entry Mats: Place durable mats at all entryways to trap dirt, grit, and moisture from shoes before they reach your hardwood.
  • Remove Shoes: Encourage everyone to remove their shoes at the door, especially high heels.
  • Use Furniture Pads: Attach felt or other protective pads to the legs of all furniture to prevent scratches and dents when moving pieces.
  • Control Humidity: Maintain a consistent indoor humidity level to prevent excessive expansion or contraction of the wood, which can lead to warping or gaps.
  • Trim Pet Nails: Keep pets' nails trimmed to minimize scratches on the hardwood surface.
