Quick Guide to Cleaning Hardwood Floors
Hardwood Flooring is easy to take care of and keep clean. Follow these following steps to keep you floors clean, maintained and looking brand new!
- Sweep or vacuum hardwood floors as often as possible. A good stick vacuum can assist by taking a few minutes to remove debris. Debris, dirt and dust can ruin the finish of hardwood by getting into the grinds.
- Water can damage hardwood floors! Clean spills immediately and do not use a mop & bucket to clean hardwood floors. Many hardwood floor mops are available that are safe and extremely efficient to use often.
- Shoes can cause damage to hardwood floors, particularly high heals. Shoes can cause debris to get into the wood ruining the finish.
- Hang blinds or curtains on all windows. Sunlight will harm and change the color of wood floors.
- Use a good canister vacuum to clean the floors once a week or bi-weekly and follow up by using a steam mop to disinfect the floors. Steam mops will clean flooring more efficiently than a mop and not ruin the finish if used correctly compared to chemicals.
Good Luck and Enjoy your hardwood floors for years!
