MAINTAINING WOODEN FLOORS WILL HELP THEM SHINE FOR MANY YEARS

Wooden floors have become very popular nowadays because of their natural look. Cleaning and maintenance of wooden floors is very easy, as they require sweeping and vacuuming only once or twice a week. You can also use wood floor cleaning products once a week to keep them shiny and new.

Wood floors are natural and are a recyclable and renewable source of energy. One of their most important benefits is that unlike carpet, wood floors do not collect dust or other allergens.

Tips for Wood floor care

The maintenance of wooden floors is not very complicated but if they are not properly maintained then the wooden flooring may be damaged.

Water is not good for wooden floors, so make sure you clean the floors quickly after water spills. Wring out your mop fully before mopping the floor. Excess water may cause long term damage.

Dust and dirt can damage the floor by taking away its shiny look and dry up the finish of the floors. You need to ensure that you sweep and vacuum the floors regularly. Vacuums with beater bars are not good for your wooden floors because beater bars could dent your flooring.

Placing mats at the entrance and exit can help you to some extent, as these will reduce the amount of dirt on your floor hence keeping your floor looking great for many years to come.
