Hardwood Flooring Information, Tips, Care.  Caring for hardwood
flooring.

Why Choose Hardwood:

  • Adds natural beauty to your home.
  • Hardwood Floors increase the value of your home.
  • Hypoallergenic - hardwood floors do not trap bacteria, allergens,
    and dust, as carpets do.
  • Properly maintained, they can last a lifetime.
  • Easy to maintain.
  • Damage on your hardwood floors can be repaired.

Tips for caring for your hardwood floors:

  • Place rugs at entrances to protect your hardwood floor from
    scratches, and to "walk off" dust and debris.
  • Sweep wood floors regularly with a soft bristle broom or vacuum
    attachment.
  • Never clean a hardwood floor with soaps or detergents.
  • Clean spills promptly.
  • Keep potted plants off a wood floor so condensation does not
    build up.
  • Put plastic or fabric-faced glides under the legs of furniture to
    prevent scuffing and scratching of your hardwood.
  • Be prepared to rejuvenate your floor by having it professionally
    buffed and a new coat of finish applied, if necessary.  When the
    floor shows signs of significant wear, then have it professionally
    refinished to bring back the beauty and luster of a new hardwood
    floor.


Cleaning your Hardwood Floors

  • Wipe food and other spills from your hardwood floor immediately,
    with a water dampened cloth or paper towel.
  • Vacuum with soft bristle brushes only.  Most carpet vacuums
    have hard bristle brushes.
  • Sweep with a soft (nylon) bristle broom.  
  • Damp (not wet) mop the floor to remove dirt and grit.  We
    recommend only using white vinegar diluted with water on a
    damp cloth, to disinfect.

Things to Avoid
  • Do not use oils, waxes, or cleaners that have these properties in
    them, on your finish.  No ammonia or dust cleaners on your
    hardwood flooring.
  • High heel shoes, especially unprotected.
  • Water.  Dampened cloth is okay, but do not saturate the floor, and
    be sure to wipe up spills immediately.

With proper care and maintenance, you will enjoy years and years of a
beautiful hardwood floor.  It's clean, durable, and adds tremendous
beauty and warmth to a home.
