Whether it’s made from oak, walnut, ash or cherry, there’s no denying that hardwood flooring looks fantastic, although you do need to take care of it in order for it to remain this way.

Even the hardest wearing of wood is susceptible to scratches and scuffs, and whilst the odd scratch might not be instantly visible, if scratches are allowed to build up, the look of your flooring will quickly deteriorate.

Taking care of your hardwood flooring doesn’t have to be a time consuming or tricky task though, and regular maintenance can take just minutes out of your time.

Cleaning hardwood floors

Although it isn’t difficult, you do need to take care when cleaning hardwood flooring, as using unsuitable equipment and products could cause extensive damage. So, ensure that you use only a very soft bristled brush or vacuum and cleaning products designed specifically for your floor type.

General maintenance

Strong sunlight can quickly cause hardwood flooring to change colour, so make sure that any rooms in which it is installed are protected by curtains and blinds.

Any spills on flooring should be cleaned up quickly with a dry cloth- even simple water spills. Rugs and mats will also provide protection and can simultaneously enhance the look of your home.
