|  | | Don't Damp Mop - Water and wood floors don't mix! Use only the manufacturer's recommended cleaning products on your hardwood floor. Bona-X by Bona Kemi is recommended by manufacturers.
Vacuum/Sweep Regularly - Small stones, mud and gritty dirt tracked in from outside can scratch the finish of your wood floor's finish. To help combat this use long bristle welcome mats placed at all outside entrances for people to wipe their feet on before entering onto the floors. Also, vacuum or sweep using a soft bristle brush attachment.
Use the Proper Chair Glides - Wheels, wooden legs & metal furniture legs will scratch and dent hardwood floors. Any furniture that rests directly on top of a hardwood floor should have felt protectors under all it's feet and where objects rest on flooring surface. For extremely heavy objects such as a piano, use wide, non-staining rubber cups. Purchasing EZ Glide FLOOR PROTECTORS is a great way to protect your floor and investment.
Keep pet claws trimmed - to avoid scratches from pets be sure to regularly trim pet's claws.
Door mats - using non-stainable door mats can help stop dirt and debris from being tracked in on your hardwood floor.
Don't Use Oil Soaps - There are many over the counter oil-based soaps and wax based cleaning products that may damage or dull the finish of your wood floor.
Never Wax a Urethane Floor - If your hardwood floor has a polyurethane finish never use a paste wax on the floor's surface. A paste wax may form a sticky film on your floor and allow tracked in dirt to stick to your wood finish. Polyurethane finishes will not adhere to any wax and adding a fresh coat of polyurethane to your floor will be very difficult.
Never slide heavy objects directly over your floor - use a pad or 1/4" underlayment underneath the object when moving heavy objects over your wood flooring. In new construction it is wise to cover your wood floors while still under construction, or while moving your furniture into the home.
Wipe Spills Immediately - when accidents happen and some liquid gets spilled on your hardwood floor, you should use a slightly damp white cloth, or paper towel to immediately clean up and dry the effected area. For more difficult spots, follow the manufacturer's recommended cleaning procedures | | | |
