Hardwood Flooring Information, Tips, Care.
Why Choose Hardwood:
- Adds natural beauty to your home.
- Hardwood Floors increase the value of your home.
- Hypoallergenic - hardwood floors do not trap bacteria,
allergens, and dust, as carpets do.
- Properly maintained, they can last a lifetime.
- Easy to maintain.
- Damage on your hardwood floors can be repaired.
Tips for caring for your hardwood floors:
- Place rugs at entrances to protect your hardwood floor
from scratches, and to "walk off" dust and debris.
- Sweep wood floors regularly with a soft bristle broom or
vacuum attachment.
- Never clean a hardwood floor with soaps or detergents.
- Clean spills promptly.
- Keep potted plants off a wood floor so condensation does
not build up.
- Put plastic or fabric-faced glides under the legs of furniture
to prevent scuffing and scratching of your hardwood.
- Be prepared to rejuvenate your floor by having it
professionally buffed and a new coat of finish applied, if
necessary. When the floor shows signs of significant
wear, then have it professionally refinished to bring back
the beauty and luster of a new hardwood floor.
Cleaning your Hardwood Floors
- Wipe food and other spills from your hardwood floor
immediately, with a water dampened cloth or paper towel.
- Vacuum with soft bristle brushes only. Most carpet
vacuums have hard bristle brushes.
- Sweep with a soft (nylon) bristle broom.
- Damp (not wet) mop the floor to remove dirt and grit.
Things to Avoid
- Do not use oils, waxes, or cleaners that have these
properties in them, on your finish. No ammonia or dust
cleaners on your hardwood flooring.
- High heel shoes, especially unprotected.
- Water. Dampened cloth is okay, but do not saturate the
floor, and be sure to wipe up spills immediately.
With proper care and maintenance, you will enjoy years and
years of a beautiful hardwood floor. It's clean, durable, and
adds tremendous beauty and warmth to a home.
