HARDWOOD FLOORING CARE – TIPS & TRICKS

ROUTINE AND DAILY CLEANING

DAILY SWEEPING

For daily cleaning of your hardwood flooring, use a soft-bristle broom to sweep up any dirt, hair, or debris. You may also use a dry soft microfiber mop but be careful not to slide any hard objects (like small rocks, broken glass, etc.) across your floors. We recommend to sweep first, and follow through with a microfiber dry mop.

AIR VACUUMING

If you have more custom flooring that has bevels, wood knots, or small spacing – you may use a vacuum to suck up any dirt, dust, or debris without the power bar or the bare floor setting.

HOW OFTEN?

We recommend cleaning your hardwood floors with the above techniques both daily and weekly. DO NOT use any wet mops, see below for tips on how to clean your floors using recommended products.



By doorways, use throw rugs to prevent dirt and rocks from spreading into your home and to prevent dragging and scratching.



NEVER USE wet mops or steam mops on your hardwood floors. Moisture causes damage to the flooring – we recommend using hardwood floor cleaner in slight amounts.



Use felt protectors on the bottom of furniture legs or appliances to avoid scratching, scuffing, or other marks. Replace the protectors every half year / year to avoid debris buildup on the bottom.



Avoid walking on your hardwood floors with high heels or sports shoes, these can leave marks and not to mention dent your flooring given enough pressure.
