Hardwood Care

• Always use manufacturer's recommended cleaners and dressings
• Use interior and exterior door mats.
• Protect your floor from direct sun light to minimize shading variation.
• Keep animals nails trimmed to help minimize scratches
• Avoid wearing shoes, dirt and gravel is going to be tracked in and damage your hardwood. High heeled or stiletto shoes are also known to dent floors
• Do not drag objects across your floors, felt pad or any number of hardwood friendly products are available for protecting your floors
• Appliances can also damage your floors, glide guards is one product I recommend to allow you to roll your appliances in and out.
• Keep the relative humidity in your home between 35% and 55%
• Never use the following products on your floors: ammonia base products, vinegar, wax based products, oil soaps, detergents, bleach, polishes, bleach or any similar products.
• Never allow water to pool and stay in place, always wipe up immediately.
• Do not use a mop and water, excess liquid gets trapped and will cause damage.
• Sweep or use a dust mop to clean your floor once a week or as needed. A swivel mop with a terry cloth cover is recommended.
