CLEANING YOUR FLOORS:

Use a hardwood floor solvent product, available from your local hardware store. Do not use soap or any cleaning product that mixes with water. Ammonia will damage or dull many surface finishes and should not be used to clean your floor. Never wet mop or clean your hardwood floors with water. Do not use any wax or cleaner that must be mixed with water such as oil soap, this may result in a loss of warranty. Water can dull the finish, and permanently damage the floor. Wipe up spills as soon as possible, before they get sticky or dry. Remove dried spills with a cloth or a pad dampened with a manufacturer recommended cleaning product.

HARDWOOD:

Low humidity levels will cause your hardwood flooring to separate slightly at the seams of the flooring. High humidity levels will cause the wood to expand. If excessive, this expansion may lead to cupping or swelling in the center of the board. These movements vary seasonally and can be somewhat controlled by monitoring the indoor moisture levels within your home. The movement of the flooring may also create noises as it expands and contracts. The appearance of hardwood flooring is easy to maintain and a dry mop or a hardwood cleaner, is all that is required for cleaning. The need for wax on hardwood floors is rare and many types of flooring are now factory finished and have specific maintenance requirements. Refer to your flooring supplier for specific instructions.
