Regular cleaning of your wood floor is a must. Sweep or vacuum
(using the brush attachment) your floor often to remove any
dirt or sand that may have been tracked in from outside. Left
on the floor, these particles can scratch and dull the finish
of virtually any product. Throw rugs at all doorways can help
to minimize the amount of dirt and grit tracked in. |
|
|
Floor protector pads should be used on the bottoms of furniture
to eliminate scratches and gouges. These pads can be purchased
at any home improvement store or many of the furniture outlets. |
|
|
NEVER wet mop your floor. Used inappropriately, water can
be one of your floors worst enemies. Wipe up spills immediately
using a slightly damp cloth. For stubborn stains use a cloth
dampened with the manufacturer's recommended cleaner, or a generic
hardwood floor cleaner found at most home improvement stores.
Never apply wax to your hardwood floor. Applying wax to a polyurethane
floor will not only make future refinishing impossible, but
will void any warranties you hold on the product. |
|
|
Eventually over time the floor will begin to lose it's luster
making it necessary to recoat. The time frame will depend on
the product and finish you have chosen. |
We at Creative Hardwood hope you enjoy the warmth, look and easy
maintenance that comes with a hardwood floor. Please don't hesitate
to call on us if you have any questions regarding your floor or
it's care.
