General Care
The key to lasting beauty of your wood flooring investment is proper maintenance for the life of your floor.
The following are some excellent guidelines for maintaining today's wood floors. What type of finish do you have?
All Hardwood Floors regardless of what type of finish, must be maintained properly to keep the beauty long lasting. Every floor prior to using a Hardwood Floor Cleaning System should be dust mopped, vacuumed or swept with a soft bristle broom daily, or as often as necessary, to remove grit and dust from the surface. Walking on dusty or dirty floor is the fastest way to damage a finish.
Place walk off mats (carpet runners)at all exterior entrances. This will capture much of the harmful dirt before it even reaches the hardwood floor. Shake out, wash or vacuum mats and area rugs frequently.
Floor protector pads of soft felt or similar material should be placed on the bottoms of the legs of the furniture. Floor protectors must be kept clean of grit and periodically replaced.
Keep high heels in good repais. An unprotected tip will dent any hardwood floor.
Kitchen floors experience the most traffic in a home. To prevent premature wear of the floor, place an area rug in front of the sink and stove area. Shake out or vacuum the rugs frequently. Recoat with compatible finish as needed(12-18 months) This process will save you from having to refinish to bare wood, which could be a major concerns as to down time and if your engineered floor can be resanded?
Finally, using a humidifier or dehumidifier in conjunction with a furnace or air conditioning system to maintain relative humidity in the home at 30-50% will maintain the moisture in the wood and minimize cracks between the boards.
