About HARDWOOD care
Even in a busy household, you can easily care for your premium hardwood on a weekly basis and keep your planks looking outstanding.
Take these preventative and regular hardwood care steps, as well as effective spill and stain treatment, to maintain your attractive wood surface.
Regular Hardwood Care
The biggest key to effective hardwood care is sweeping with a gentle bristle broom or dust mop to remove abrasive particles that can wear and scratch the appearance. Preventative hardwood care includes using mats at all entranceways, having footwear removed at the door, brushing pets regularly, keeping all pet nails trimmed, and using area rugs throughout the home as extra protection from foot traffic and spills.
Treating Spills & Stains on Hardwood
When a spill occurs on your hardwood, treat it as promptly as possible to prevent moisture damage from occurring:
- Gently lift any solid material with a spoon.
- Wipe up the spill with a clean, dry cloth and paper towels.
- Use a gentle hardwood-specific cleaner to spot treat the spill as needed.
- Always check with your manufacturer's warranty before mopping your wood floors, use as little water as needed, and ensure a dry surface afterward.
