How To Care For Your Hardwood Floor
 


We know hardwood floors are no small investment.

So our commitment to making your floor last doesn't stop when it's finished.

You'll see how Duraclean enhances the life of your newly finished wood floor.


 


Maintenance Tips
Floor Care Essentials



What To Do

• Vacuum or sweep your hardwood floor regularly. General cleaning once every week is recommended.

• Remove spills promptly using your mop or Micro plus floor cloth and a Formula Wood Floor Cleaner.

• Place floor mats at exterior doors to trap sand and grit. Use area rugs in high traffic pathways, at ends of steps and near doorways. Avoid rubber backing or non-ventilated rugs.

• Use protective pads or caps such as Floor D-fenders protective pads on “feet” of furniture.

• Renew worn surfaces with a Formula Hardwood Floor Refresher before the bare wood is exposed.

• Maintain a consistent humidity level between heating seasons in all living areas. Excessive swings in humidity levels will cause hardwood floors to swell, shrink, cup, crack and show excessive gaps between boards. The use of humidifier and/or dehumidifier systems is recommended where inconsistent humidity levels occur.
 
 


What Not To Do


• Don’t let sand, dirt or grit build up on your wood floor. They can act like sandpaper and actually abrade and dull your hard wood floor finish.

• Don’t damp mop hardwood floors. Too much water can cause the floor to swell or warp.

• Don’t let your pets’ claws go untrimmed. Proper claw trimming helps avoid scratches and gouges in your hardwood floor.

• Don’t walk on your hardwood floors in high heels, and keep heels in good repair.

• Don’t use wax, oil soap, or other household cleaners on polyurethane finished wood floors. They can dull today’s floor finishes and make refinishing difficult.
