Do’s and Don’ts of Wood Floors

To start off, when using a cleaning product on your floor, always make sure the product you use is made for or approved for use on hardwood floors. Many clients inadvertently stain or damage their floor because they use the incorrect type of cleaning solution. Water and ammonia-based cleaning agents can and will damage your floor, so avoid these. If a spill should occur containing one of these chemicals, then clean it up immediately. The less time it stays spilled, the less time it has to stain your floor. Another thing to avoid on your floor is pets. Pets should not be allowed on the floor. However, if this is not possible, then make sure to trim their claws or nails regularly. This will reduce the amount of scratching on your floor considerably. Likewise, high-heeled shoes should never be worn on a bare hardwood floor.

The pressure these types of shoes can put on the floor is so great that it can dent the floor and even puncture its surface. Avoid these two things as much as possible. A great way to accent your design scheme and protect your floor from a significant amount of wear is to use rugs and rubber mats to cover high-traffic areas, like entryways, doorways and hallways. Use of these rugs and mats will all but eliminate the wear on these specific parts of the floor.

As to the actual cleaning of the floor, regularity is the key. Since dirt and grit are the greatest threat to your floor over time, then removal of these two contaminants, among others, is a never-ending battle. With this in mind, sweeping should be done on a daily basis. Also, mopping should be done every other day, or at least bi-weekly. This ensures that there is the least amount of dirt and grit on your floor as possible. Buffing should also be done every other year, if not yearly.
