How should hardwood floors be maintained and cleaned?
Maintaining your hardwood floors today fortunately requires little effort. Wood floors are an investment that, if properly maintained, should last the lifetime of the home. Theres both preventative and routine maintenance. Preventative maintenance entails making sure there are floor protector pads installed on the bottom of furniture legs. Area rugs should be placed at entrances and even in front of the kitchen sink. Routine maintenance entails vacuuming and/or dust mopping to remove debris followed by light damp mopping. We provide our customers with a hardwood floor maintenance kit. Oils and waxes should not be used as they may prevent adhesion of the maintenance recoat, which will be required in time.
