Yes, hardwood floors are a little complicated to keep in shape, but by following these below mentioned tips you can keep them looking polished for years.
Vacuum your floor on regular interval:
You should vacuum your floor at least once a week because the fine grit in dust will slowly but certainly wear through your wood floor’s finish. Regular vacuuming safeguards the finishes and also maintains its look.
Keep out the rain:
Water does not just damage the finish of your hardwood floor but also can penetrate deep into the wood & stain it. When it is about to rain close the windows. Put trays beneath potted plants, instantly wipe up any water you notice.
Use no-wax wood cleaner to remove residue:
It is wise to clean up small issues before they become major ones. Wipe up spills & dirt instantly, then employ no-wax wood cleaner to eliminate the residue. Dirt & liquid can ruin the finish or stain of the floor, so it is critical to clean spills on your wood floor as quickly as possible.
Use an extra-long “walk-off” doormat:
While vacuuming & spot cleaning is great, keeping the dirt out in the first place is even better. Buy a 4-6ft long “walk-off” mat for the front door. The longer the mat leading up to the door, the more people will dub dirt & moisture off their shoes as they walk in, even if they don’t stop to wipe them.
Protect high-traffic regions with area rugs:
Walking over an area many times a day eventually wears down the finish of a wood floor. Areas rugs are the best way to decrease the wear. But ensure they don’t have a backing. Rubber or vinyl backing traps moisture, which can ruin the finish of your floor or damage the wood.
