Hardwood Care & Maintenance

Caring for Your Hardwood Floors

Simple Steps for protecting the beauty of your hardwood floor.

Consistent, gentle cleaning prevents premature wear and preserves the elegant finish of your hardwood.

  • Sweep or Vacuum Frequently: Sweep or use a vacuum with a soft brush attachment daily or every few days to remove small abrasive particles that can cause scratches.
  • Wipe Spills Immediately: Hardwood is sensitive to moisture. Immediately wipe up spills, standing water, and pet accidents using a dry, soft cloth to prevent stains or warping.
  • Use Approved Cleaners: Never use harsh chemicals, ammonia-based, or abrasive cleaning products. Always use cleaning solutions specifically recommended by your hardwood manufacturer to avoid dulling the finish or voiding the warranty.

Protecting your hardwood from potential damage ensures its enduring quality and value for decades.

  • Use Furniture Protectors: Attach felt pads or soft cups to the feet of all furniture (chairs, tables, sofas) to prevent scratching and denting when moving items.
  • Place Rugs in High-Traffic Areas: Use area rugs in entryways, in front of sinks, and in other high-wear areas to capture dirt and minimize friction, ensuring the wood underneath remains protected.
  • Manage Environmental Factors: Maintain consistent temperature and humidity levels in your home year-round. Extreme changes can cause wood planks to expand, shrink, or gap over time.
