Best Wood Floor Maintenance Tips To Avoid Damaging Your Floor

You have freshly installed wooden flooring in your residential or commercial area and wonder how to best maintain it avoiding the use of toxic products that could jeopardize your health.

Cinderella on her knees, stroking her hand across the floor, is meant to provoke regret. More and more companies use promotional methods to persuade us that the detergents clean by themselves and we will not move a finger. Cleaning the floor is one of the most dreaded household chores, and most of us would welcome a small miracle to make it go away. Unfortunately, many cleaning solutions that claim to be easy and fast cleaning are really harmful to our health and the environment. Here are some maintenance ideas and advice to help you stay clean longer without jeopardizing your health.

Natural Wood Flooring

Wooden flooring is amongst the most appealing options for your house! You must take care of them and apply regular cleaning and maintenance if you want to preserve their lustre and natural appearance for a longer period of time. Many modern wooden floors are varnished or painted, making cleaning and maintenance easier. Varnish and paint help to maintain the wood by extending its life and improving its beauty.

The issue with varnishes and paints is that they deteriorate with time. Constant foot activity might cause them to peel off or wear out. When varnished or painted hardwood flooring is damaged in this way, it must be sanded thoroughly before being refinished or repainted. The problem will not be solved by cleaning with natural wood flooring products. If your floor is not damaged, you can clean it with a soft mop and a suitable detergent for natural wood flooring.

Maintenance Tips

Proper regular care is the key to reducing the need for frequent basic cleaning of natural wood flooring.

• Use doormats to absorb the majority of the dirt brought in from outside, as well as rugs and carpets to protect your floors from scratches from terrestrials.
• Wearing shoes on the hardwood floor is not a good idea. Rubber stains aren't difficult to remove, but they're another thing you don't need to have on your shoulders.
• Scratches on the surface of the varnish from furniture such as chairs that we frequently draw out from beneath the table and whose legs are not covered, or tiny cupboards that we need to move to clean around and/or behind progressively scrape the surface of the varnish.
• Sweep, vacuum, or dust on a regular basis. Sweeping or, better, cleaning sand and dust with a dry or moist cloth or vacuum cleaner should be done on a regular basis.
• To avoid stains, wipe the spilled liquid with a soft cloth and then spread with a moist cloth.
• Different floor coverings require a specific cleaning method. If you use the improper technique and detergent on your floor, it can eventually deteriorate.

Mistakes To Avoid

• Avoid using corrosive abrasive cleansers that might harm your floor's finish.
• Avoid using acid-based detergents as they can damage your floor's varnish and coating.
