Hardwood Floors Maintenance
By observing some simple maintenance hints, caring for your hardwood floors can be made easy. Keep a mat at any outside entrance, this will prevent dirt and grit from scaring the finish of the floor. Use a fabric or carpet backed glide on the bottoms of chairs and tables. Be sure to clean them regularly. Do not use dust spray or liquid to dry mop. This tends to dull the finish. Wipe up all spills immediately with a damp cloth. You may notice cracks between the flooring strips, this is the result of change in humidity in the home. Wood will expand and contract according to the seasons. A maintenance coat will help protect the floor & should be applied every two to five years, depending on your lifestyle. Sunlight and age will cause some change in color of the floor.
