Hardwood - Care & Maintenance Tips
Maintaining the elegance and character of your hardwood floors has never been easier. For regular maintenance we recommend sweeping with a soft bristle broom or vacuuming as dirt and debris can collect in the bevelled edges of your hardwood. The following are tips that can help minimize your cleaning if done on a regular basis:

1. Attend to spills promptly using a dry or slightly damp cloth.

2. Do not use resilient or tile floor care products on wood floors, as they will cause your wood surface to become slippery or appear dull.

3. Use mats or throw rugs in entryways and outside the house to prevent dirt and debris from scratching your hardwood.

4. When cleaning your hardwood do not use a wet mop as water can dull the finish and damage the wood.

5. With a Urethane Finish you must not wax your hardwood. However, with a Waxed Finish you must wash your hardwood with a manufacturer's cleaner in order to strip the old wax, and then reapply a new coat of non-water based wax.

6. Refrain from walking on your hardwood while wearing sports shoes or high heels as the impact could dent the floor's surface.

On a regular basis you should also use a manufacturer's cleaner that is designed specifically for hardwood. Refrain from using commercial cleaners that contain a dye or that have a high percentage of water content as they can damage your flooring by leaving a layer of residue. To determine which products are appropriate for your hardwood, please ask your Design Consultant.
