All hardwood floors require some regular maintenance
and attention to keep them looking their best and lasting to their full potential. In order to best protect your hardwood
floors, we suggest you observe the following:
-
Regularly sweep or vacuum the floor to prevent
abrasive dirt and dust from accumulating and scratching the finish.
-
Sand and water can be very harmful to your wood floors.
Place area rugs to protect them - for example, we suggest placing area rugs at every entrance where there is hardwood.
-
Use felt pads under all furniture and chair legs in
order to ease their movements and prevent scratches.
-
Damaged or worn high heel shoes may expose a metal tip,
which is certain to damage the surface finish.
-
Never use wax, oil based detergent or any other household
cleaners on the floors. These may dull or damage the finish leaving a greasy film and making the floor slippery and more difficult
to clean.
-
Protect your floor against direct sunlight or any intense
source of artificial lighting. Over time some darkening is to be expected. It will naturally occur, adding
to the character of your hardwood floor.
