Hardwood Care & Maintenance Tips
Protect Your Hardwood Floors with Routine Care
Proper care is key to maintaining the natural beauty and longevity of your hardwood floors.
Hardwood floors add timeless elegance to any space, but they require regular care to maintain their charm and durability. Everyday dirt, grit, and moisture can dull finishes or lead to scratches over time. Consistent upkeep and preventative care can help your hardwood floors retain their stunning appearance and value for years to come.
Simple Tips to Keep Your Hardwood Floors Looking Beautiful
Follow these practical care tips to preserve the beauty and resilience of your hardwood flooring:
- Sweep or dust daily: Use a soft-bristle broom or microfiber dust mop to remove dirt and debris that can scratch the surface.
- Clean spills immediately: Wipe up any liquid spills promptly to prevent staining or water damage.
- Use protective mats: Place mats at entryways to reduce tracked-in dirt and water, and add rugs in high-traffic areas for extra protection.
- Avoid harsh cleaners: Stick to products specifically designed for hardwood floors to preserve the finish and prevent damage.
- Protect against furniture damage: Use felt pads under furniture legs to prevent scratches and avoid dragging heavy items across the floor.
- Monitor humidity levels: Maintain indoor humidity between 35% and 55% to prevent wood from expanding or contracting.
- Schedule professional refinishing: Over time, professional refinishing can restore the luster and extend the life of your hardwood floors.
