Wood Floor Tips
Cleaning
All Hardwood Floors regardless of what type of finish, must be maintained properly to keep the beauty long lasting. Every floor must be dust mopped, vacuumed or swept with a soft bristle broom as often as necessary, to remove grit and dust from the surface. Walking on dusty or dirty floor is the fastest way to damage a finish.
Use walk off mats or carpet runners
at all exterior entrances. This will capture much of the harmful dirt before it even reaches the hardwood floor. Shake out, wash or vacuum mats and area rugs frequently.

Floor protector pads
of soft felt or similar material should be placed on the bottoms of the legs of the furniture. Floor protectors must be kept clean of grit and periodically replaced.
Kitchen floors
experience the most traffic in a home. To prevent premature wear of the floor, place an area rug in front of the sink and stove area. Shake out or vacuum the rugs frequently.
