Hardwood Floor Maintenance
Here are a few maintenance tips to help you protect your hardwood flooring in Rexburg, ID and increase its life:
- Take proper care of the finish as it will reduce the number of times you need to refinish the floor
- Apply a maintenance coat every two to five years, and you'll more than likely not have to sand and refinish your hardwood floor for twenty or more years
- Don't wax or oil a polyurethane finish
- Sanding and refinishing are best left to the experts. However we are here to help any DIY'ers through the step by step process and answer any questions along the way
- Immediately clean any spills on the hardwood floor to prevent any damage, clean with recommended cleaner
- Mats at doorways help reduce the amount of tracked-in dirt, and area rugs are recommended for high-traffic areas
- Vacuum or sweep the floor a couple of times a week. Once a month, damp mop with a recommended floor cleaner, then dry the surface with a clean terry cloth towel. Don't pour the cleaner directly on the floor
- Do not use cleaners that have acrylics, wax, soap, or ammonia based cleaners in them
- We recommend Bell Hardwood cleaner to use on hardwoods and vinyl products whenever you mop
- Excessive sunlight can cause surface changes in the color of the finish. Close drapes or shades to protect the floor from direct sunlight
- Walking exerts about 8,000 pounds of pressure per square inch. That amount of pressure applied to a floor by way of a high heel without a protective cap, or a sharp nail or stone caught in a shoe sole, can damage any floor surface. Make it a practice to check your shoes before entering a room with hardwood floors
- Protect the floor with a masonite panel placed smooth side down before you move heavy appliances. Put felt or ceramic pads on furniture legs
