Maintaining Your Solid Wood Floors

The hardwood floor is easy to clean and adds a level of sophistication to almost any home. This style is easier to maintain than many other types of floors, but requires maintenance to look their best and fight against wear. Part of this maintenance must be completed daily, while other tasks are only required once every few months.

Preventive Maintenance

Having high quality floor mats available at each entrance of your home is an excellent way to minimize the amount of dirt, stones and mud that must be cleaned from the hardwood surface. Many people do not allow anyone to wear shoes at home, so cleaning does not have to be done so often. The use of area rugs in large rooms with hardwood floors or occupied areas of the house causes less wear and tear than having bare floors exposed.

Daily maintenance

The maintenance of your solid floor should begin with daily cleaning. This cleaning does not need to be more exhaustive than vacuuming or sweeping, but it is a very important first step because sand and dirt tend to act like sandpaper. This can damage the beautiful surface of hardwood floors. Cleaning the wood floor regularly is an excellent way to remove debris that may be sticky or difficult to remove with a broom. It is important that the mop used to clean hardwood floors is moist, but does not drip. Water and other liquids can cause solid wood floors to discolor if they are not removed from the floor quickly.

You should also monitor the humidity level of your home every day to make sure it stays between forty-five and fifty-five percent. It is known that moisture changes cause solid wood floors to expand and contract, which can cause cracks in the soil.

Monthly maintenance

The application of an oil or wax specifically designed for wood floors once a month is an excellent way to ensure that the floor finish remains intact and continues to resist water and stains. The floor should be thoroughly cleaned before applying the wax or oil, and the product may require you to stay off the floor for a few hours so you can soak up the floor and protect the wood.

Repair of damages

Light scratches that have appeared on the surface of the solid wood floor can usually be removed with a cushion, but deeper scratches should be removed by a flooring specialist who has years of experience in hardwood floors.

If the wood floor has not been maintained and the finish is no longer present, it will be necessary to sand the floor and apply a new finish to the surface. Properly maintained floors do not always have to be sanded because a new finish coat is applied every one or two months.
