Adding Life to Your Hardwood Floors A brand-new luxury hardwood floor is a beautiful addition to your home, and you probably can’t wait to show it off to visitors. However, you must take care of your hardwood flooring to maintain it’s new appearance. After all, a floor is designed to be walked on. People will walk on it; children will drop things; furniture will be moved; liquids will spill. Even engineered wood flooring will succumb to the weathering.
Protecting Your Hardwood Floors It is an old cliché, but still holds true: an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. Your luxury hardwood floor is not going to protect itself; you need to take the steps to make sure it is treated gently. Make the effort to protect your floor. The most basic thing that you can do is regularly clean it using a flat-head microfibre mop or dry sweeper. You may not realize it, but dust and dirt can scratch your hardwood floor as it accumulates. You won’t notice it right away, but after a few years, your floor will lose its lustre if it’s not regularly cleaned.
Maintaining Your Hardwood Floors The protection measures will go far, but you still need to go above and beyond to protect your hardwood floor. Avoid waxing or using soap when mopping your wooden floor. It looks good at first, but the wax will build up on the surface and will make the wood look dull after a while. Stick with an oil-based floor cleaner or a wood floor cleaner, such as Verona Floors Wood Floor Cleaner. When your hardwood floor is being installed, keep some of the extra pieces in storage. They can be handy if you need to replace damaged parts of your floor. Make no mistake, you have to put in the work if you are going to maintain a beautiful hardwood floor. But it is more than worth the effort. Not only will you have a beautiful showpiece in your home, but it is also a popular selling point when you want to sell.
