Floor Care & Maintenance is made easy in these simple steps:

• Sweep Wood Floors with a  Soft, fine bristle broom
• Vacuum once or twice a week to remove dirt and sand. Use a soft brush attachment to minimize scratching
• Since water is one of wood floors worst enemies, get rid of water right away! Remove wet spills ASAP with soft towels or a wet/dry vacuum, and then dry thoroughly.
• Use a very dry damp mop when mopping polyurethane wood floors, since excess water can seep into seams and ruin a wood floor
• Use furniture pads to place under table and chair legs and on the feet of dressers and armoires. They can be purchased at a local hardware store or home center.
• Consider using carpet runners (with non-skid pads) over wood floors in high traffic areas.
• Install floor mats at each entrance so you don't track in dirt from the bottoms of shoes.

WHAT NOT TO DO

• Don’t let sand, dirt or grit build up, they can act like sand paper: abrading and dulling your floor finish.
• Don’t clean wooden floors with a wet mop. Too much water can cause the floor to swell, warp or turn grey.
• Don’t let your pet’s claws go untrimmed. Proper claw trimming helps avoid scratches and gouges.
• Don’t walk on your floors in high heels and keep your heels in good repair.
• Don’t use wax, oil soap or other household cleaners on finished wooden floor. They can dull the floor’s finish and make refinishing difficult.
