FLOOR CARE

Once your floors have been sanded and finished, kindly refrain from using a floor cleaner or placing area rugs on them for a period of 72 hours following the final application of finish. 

Dos:

 

  • Use protective felt or soft pads on the bottom of all furniture and replace them regularly.

  • Place rugs and mats at all exterior entrances to capture abrasives and moisture.

  • Use stands under plants to allow air circulation; even a waterproof plant containers can attract condensation and leave a water stain.

  • Vacuum or dry dust-mop regularly to remove abrasives and dirt. 

  • Use a cleaner specifically designed for hardwood floors and mop floors as needed. (We recommend Bona Hardwood Floor Cleaner)

  • Wipe up spills immediately to avoid water damage to floors.

  • Try to make it a habit to remove shoes when walking on your floors. The use of high heeled shoes and cleats can dent even the most dense hardwood floors.

  • Re-coat your hardwood floors before you wear any spot through to bare wood.

  • Use a home humidifier to help minimize seasonal gaps/cracks by keeping humidity levels between 35-55% and temperatures between 60-80 degrees.

 

Don’ts:

 

  • Do not use oils, polish, or waxes.

  • Do not use abrasive cleaners (citrus & vinegars)

  • Do not steam mop your floors

  • Do not drag any piece of furniture, appliances or heavy items on your floors; always carry it.
