Wood floors are a beautiful addition to any space, but keeping them in pristine condition can be a task in and of itself. Use these tips to keep them looking as good as new:
- Regularly sweep with a broom and avoid vacuums with a beater bar or power rotary brush head.
- Use protective window coverings to protect against fade-causing UV rays.
- Wipe up spills immediately with a cloth and hardwood floor cleaner.
- Use a humidifier during warm seasons to reduce wood shrinkage caused by moisture.
- Avoid using a wet mop, damp mop or cleaning your hardwood with water or other liquids.
