Routine care &
maintenance
Routine Cleaning is Key: Sweeping regularly with a soft-bristled broom or microfiber mop is an excellent way to remove loose dirt, dust, and debris from your hardwood floors. This routine cleaning helps prevent the accumulation of dirt that can scratch the surface over time. For a more thorough clean, occasional mopping with a specially formulated hardwood floor cleaner is recommended. Avoid using excessive water or harsh chemicals, as this can damage the wood.
Minimize Wear and Tear: Placing area rugs in high-traffic areas can help minimize scratches and wear on your hardwood floors. Encourage family members and guests to remove shoes when entering your home, especially shoes with outdoor debris that can scratch the hardwood surface.
