Adopting the right approach to cleaning your hardwood floors is an important part of preserving your flooring investment and keeping it looking at its best. Before you start cleaning your hardwood floor, make sure you vacuum the floor or go over it with a soft brush to lift up any dust particles on the surface. Dust particles can act as an abrasive on your wooden floor and could dull the surface in the long run. We recommend the use of a damp mop as well as the use of a diffuser spray to apply a mist of water to the mop. Avoid submerging in a bucket of water so it will not cause oversoaking during the mopping process. The correct type of wood flooring cleaning product should be applied and it should correspond to the type of flooring you have. You can refer to your product’s data sheet for specific product information. We do not recommend using a household detergent to clean your hardwood floor since many detergents contain bleach & abrasives which may dull or damage the finishing of the veneer.
Further Advice to Protect Your Floor
- Use protective pads under all furniture legs
- Use barrier mats inside and outside all external doorways
- Never allow any liquid to remain on the floor for a prolonged period
- Stains should be removed while they are still wet. After the removal of the stain, wipe the floor with a clean, damp cloth
- Never use wax, oil-based detergents or any household cleaners
Control of humidity remains an important factor in preserving the wood’s appearance and form; it is, therefore, important to maintain a stable humidity level all year round. The appearance of spaces between the boards indicates a drying out of the wood and an insufficient degree of humidity. Heating systems may have to be utilised throughout the year to maintain the correct humidity level. Failure to control the underfloor heating system (by overheating) can result in shrinkage or delamination of the top layer of the boards. It should be noted that the room temperature should be controlled, especially in rooms that are subject to UV light and are therefore more prone to higher temperatures. In most scenarios, the floor fitter is the last person to inspect the flooring.
