As long as you care for them, hardwood floors are among the most durable and attractive types of flooring money can buy. Many of our customers ask how often they should clean their wood floors. This answer largely depends on if your floors are sealed or unsealed. We recommend mopping your hardwood floors at least once a week, no matter how many people live in your house. However, unsealed wood floors shouldn’t be exposed to water very often. It would also be best if you wrung out your mop’s excess water before mopping unsealed floors. We also recommend dusting, sweeping, or vacuuming your wood floors at least three times a week. Be sure to sweep them first using a soft-bristle broom before mopping to avoid dirt and dust build-up.
