Essential Hardwood Floor Care Tips

Daily & Weekly Cleaning

  • Sweep or use a microfiber dust mop daily to remove dirt and debris.
  • Vacuum weekly with a hardwood-friendly attachment to prevent scratches.
  • Avoid wet mopping or excessive moisture, as water can damage the wood.

Preventing Scratches & Wear

  • Use felt pads on furniture legs and avoid dragging heavy objects.
  • Place rugs in high-traffic areas to minimize wear.
  • Keep pet nails trimmed to prevent scratches.

Seasonal Care & Humidity Control

  • Maintain indoor humidity levels between 35–55% to prevent wood expansion or contraction.
  • Use a humidifier in winter and a dehumidifier in summer for climate control.

Proper Spill Cleanup

  • Wipe up spills immediately with a dry or slightly damp cloth.
  • Never use excessive water, steam mops, or harsh chemicals.

Long-Term Protection

  • Recoat floors every 3–5 years to refresh the protective finish.
  • Schedule professional deep cleaning or refinishing when floors show signs of wear.
