Tips for Treating Your New Floor

Just like with any flooring materials, hardwood floors need regular cleaning. You should try to dust your floors with a microfiber mop each day and vacuum each week. Spills should be tended to immediately, especially liquid ones. Some liquids can stain your hardwood if they are not cleaned up right away. 

Hardwood floors are very durable, but that doesn’t mean that they are not prone to scratches. Furniture can be especially damaging to hardwood floors. You should always use furniture pads underneath the feet of any furniture. 

There are all sorts of hardwood flooring cleaners available on the market. These are designed to brighten your floors and protect them. We recommend using these on a monthly basis. 

Even if you take as many precautions as possible, your floor still may be scratched or scuffed due to pets or accidents. On average, it is recommended that you have your hardwood flooring refinished every three to five years. This buffs out any impurities in the grain, leaving behind only a polished, like-new shine. 

These are ideal for heavy traffic areas and can prevent stains or scratches.
