Routine care & maintenance
Sweeping regularly is essential to remove dust, dirt, and debris that can scratch the surface. Use a microfiber mop or soft broom specifically designed for hardwood floors. For deeper cleaning, use a hardwood floor cleaning solution. Avoid harsh chemicals, abrasive cleaners, or excessive moisture, as these can damage the finish.
Here are some additional tips to extend the life of your hardwood floors:
- Place mats or rugs at high-traffic areas and entryways: This will help trap dirt and debris before it gets tracked onto your hardwood floors.
- Trim pet nails regularly: Long nails can scratch the hardwood surface.
- Use furniture protectors under furniture legs: This will help prevent scratches and dents.
- Maintain consistent humidity levels: Extreme fluctuations in humidity can cause hardwood floors to warp or crack.
Hardwood spills & stains
Act quickly and address spills promptly to prevent permanent damage. Blot up any excess liquid with a clean, absorbent cloth. Avoid using excessive water, as this can warp the wood. For any stubborn stains or cleaning uncertainties, consult the manufacturer's guide to avoid voiding any warranties or damaging your floors.
