Routine Hardwood Care
Regular sweeping or dusting is crucial for removing dirt and debris that can scratch your hardwood surface. Damp mopping with a mild, hardwood-safe cleaner can help maintain the floor's luster and remove any lingering dirt or grime.
- Protect high-traffic areas: Use runners or area rugs in high-traffic areas to protect your floors from excessive wear and tear.
- Move furniture regularly: Prevent deep indentations by periodically moving heavy furniture.
- Use doormats: Place mats at all entrances to your home to catch dirt and debris before it gets tracked onto your floors.
- Remove shoes: Encourage people to remove their shoes before entering your home to minimize the amount of dirt and grit brought inside.
Hardwood Spills & Stains
Accidents happen. If you spill food or liquids on your hardwood floors, act quickly to prevent stains. Blot up excess liquid with a clean, absorbent cloth. Avoid rubbing, as this can push the stain deeper into the wood. Test any cleaning solution on an inconspicuous area of the hardwood before applying it to the stain. For stubborn stains, consult your manufacturer's guide for recommended products and methods to avoid damage or voiding your warranty.
