Routine Hardwood Care

Regular maintenance is important to preserve the beauty of your hardwood flooring. Sweep your floors to remove dirt and debris, which can scratch the surface. How frequently you sweep will depend on how much foot traffic your room receives. Most hardwood can be damp mopped, but be sure to consult your manufacturer's guidelines first and do not let water stand, as that can damage your floors. It's a good idea to place floor mats at entrances to reduce the amount of dirt tracked across your floors.

Hardwood Spills & Stains

No matter how careful you are, spills are inevitable. Acting quickly can prevent the spill from persisting. Immediately blot the affected area with a clean, dry cloth to absorb as much liquid as possible. Avoid rubbing, as it may worsen the stain or harm the floor's finish. Be sure to consult your manufacturer's guide for recommended cleaning products and procedures to ensure safe and effective stain removal without damaging the floors or voiding any warranties.
