Hardwood floors provide a clean and healthy environment and are easy to maintain. To keep your hardwood floors looking new follow these simple procedures
Do
Protect your floors with throw rugs, doormats and floor D-fenders- they will prevent scratches and wear.
Vacuum, dust mop or sweep regularly-grit and small rocks, especially where there is heavy traffic, may damage your wood floor finish.
Occasionally use a damp cloth in a Bona Kemi cleaning solution diluted with warm water to remove spills, food or mud.
Recoat your floor when the original finish is showing signs of wear but before it has worn down to the bare wood.
Regulate the heating in your home to maintain more consistent moisture content in the wood flooring, which will prevent cracks.
Do not
Wax the bottom of chair legs or other furniture
Use duct tape to protect your wood floors
Use Murphy’s oil soap or any other oil soap
Use paste wax or any other wax
Use silicone based polishes
Use Fantastic, Formula 409 or other solvent based cleaners
