Care & Maintenance
Maintain Your Hardwood
Your hardwood floors are more than just the ground beneath your feet, they’re an investment in your home’s long-term value. That means properly cleaning your hardwood floors to prevent any damage or warping, and also preventing/fixing any scratches that may come from everyday wear & tear. Learn how to protect that investment and your home’s value with advice from our team on cleaning and maintaining your hardwood floors.
Daily Care
It’s Important
Protective care starts with placing doormats at your home’s entryways to prevent dirt being tracked over your hardwood floors. Floor pads will prevent your heavy furniture from leaving dents and scuffs in the wood. Daily care should include sweeping and dry mopping, though if your floors need more than just dry surface cleaning, you should make sure your cleaning product is approved by the manufacturer’s guide. For deep cleaning, hire professionals.

General Hardwood Flooring Care
Mopping
A quick dry mopping can collect dirt, dust, and loose debris from your floors, but for more serious messes, don’t be afraid to use some soap and water. Just check your manufacturer’s guide for safe cleaners.
Scratches
The best way to protect your floors from scratches is to trim your pets’ nails, remove your shoes at the door – especially heels – and fully lift heavy objects instead of dragging them.
High Traffic
High-traffic areas like the living room are at greater risk for scuffs and scratches, but well-placed area rugs can protect your floors from wear and tear, especially if you use a rug pad.
