Daily Maintenance
The ease of day-to -day cleaning and maintenance is one of the factors that cause the popularity of wood flooring; a quick sweep with a soft broom or vacuuming with protective bristle add-on takes only minutes to keep your floors looking great.
Avoid using damp mops or over-waxing; not just is it messy but both can dull the shine of your floors and even cause discoloration.
Never use vinyl or tile floor care products on wood flooring. It will only damage the finish of many wood floors.
Preventative Maintenance
To keep the wood floors at their best state what you do not do is often as important as what you do. Particularly if you live in areas prone to sand or dust like Austin, remember to get a few door mats or small area rugs to lessen grit and dirt from being tracked into the home. Not only will it keep your home cleaner but it will surely help avoid scratching wood floors.
Other preventative measures which are easy to implement involve wiping up spills before staining; using a humidifier during those dry spills, lifting - rather than dragging - heavy furniture, and not allowing impact prone shoes into the house.
