Hardwood Flooring Maintenance & More

First, invest in floor protectors for use with furniture. This will prevent denting and scratching. It would help if you bought some entry mats to keep from tracking dirt in on your flooring. You should also consider using an area rug for extra protection where needed.

Everyday care and maintenance should include sweeping, vacuuming, and dry mopping. If your flooring needs more than just a dry surface clean, use a manufacturer-approved cleaning solution and follow their guidelines.

Dealing with Spills & Stains

Sometimes stains and messes are inevitable, no matter how careful you are. That's why it's important to know how to deal with stains without causing any damage to your floors.

With hardwood, common messes such as milk, pet accidents, and many other liquid spills will simply wipe away clean, especially with hardwood floors that are designed with stain- and scuff-resistant technology. You should always clean up liquids immediately, as hardwood is not water-resistant.
