Essential Hardwood Care Tips
Proper care and maintenance are crucial for preserving the beauty and longevity of your hardwood floors. Follow these simple tips for routine care:
- Sweep Regularly: Sweep your floors daily to remove dirt and dust.
- Damp Mop: Mop your floors weekly with a damp mop and a mild hardwood floor cleaner. Avoid excessive moisture.
- Use Entry Mats: Place doormats at all entryways to trap dirt and moisture before it's tracked onto your floors.
- Protect from Furniture: Use furniture pads to prevent scratches and dents from furniture legs.
Addressing Hardwood Stains and Spills
Unfortunately, spills are inevitable. It's important to act quickly to prevent stains and damage.
Blot up spills immediately with a clean, absorbent cloth. Avoid rubbing.
Carefully scoop up solid debris. Blot up any remaining liquid.
For specific stain removal instructions, consult your hardwood floor manufacturer's guide. Avoid using harsh chemicals that can damage the finish.
