To keep your wooden floors looking their best, regular care is essential. Start by dusting or sweeping daily with a soft brush or microfiber mop to remove loose dirt and debris. For a deeper clean, use a pH-neutral wood floor cleaner weekly, applying it with a damp (not wet) mop to avoid excess moisture. Always wipe up spills immediately to prevent staining or water damage.
Protect your floors from scratches by placing felt pads under furniture legs and using rugs in high-traffic areas. Maintain stable indoor humidity (ideally 35-50%) to minimize wood movement, and avoid harsh cleaners, waxes, or steam mops, which can damage the finish. For stubborn dirt, a diluted wood-floor-safe cleaner can be used sparingly, followed by a clean-water rinse. Over time, you may need to refresh the finish—consult a professional for recoating options to extend your floor’s lifespan without full sanding. Always follow the manufacturer’s guidelines for specific products and finishes.
For heavily worn floors or deep cleaning, professional services may be recommended to restore the surface properly. With consistent care, your wooden floors will retain their beauty and durability for years to come.
