Helpful hints on caring for your wood floors.
With a minimum of care, wood floors can look new year after year.
Preventative Maintenance |
Continued Maintenance |
| Door Mats: Bristol mats placed at all entrances are a necessity. They will prevent fine dirt and sand particles from being carried into the house. When these particles come between the soles of your shoes and the finish on the floor the result is unnecessary wear in high traffic areas.
Furniture: Remove any hard rubber or metal protective tabs and replace them with felt or soft rubber. Precut the felt a little larger than the surface to be covered and glue it with a good quality glue. Be careful not to use so much glue that it saturates the felt and becomes hard. After the glue dries trim any excess. Casters on any furniture should be removed since they will permanently damage both the finish and the wood. Potted Plants: Allow breathing space between any potted plants and the floor. Do not allow any water overflows to saturate the wood. |
* Vacuum or dust mop
weekly.
* Use a damp sponge mop to clean up any spills - do not use any detergents or abrasive cleansers. * Washing the floor - damp mop using one cup white vinegar to one gallon warm water. Any streaking can be removed with a dry towel or rag. * Never intentionally pour water onto the floor. Excessive amounts of water may seep between the boards and cause them to warp or stain. * Wax or oil should not be applied to a polyurethane finish. * Try to eliminate the source or cause of any scratches or wear. Wood treatments, spot treatments or sprays should never be used on a polyurethane finish. * Always cover the floor in the event of any painting or construction. |
