Hardwood flooring such as
solid oak flooring looks beautiful and can be a great way to improve your home but if you are thinking of installing
real wood floors then make sure that you know how to clean and maintain them so you can get the most out of your
wood flooring for years to come.
Sweeping It may sound simple but one of the best ways to keep your
solid wood flooring looking shiny and new is to sweep them regularly. The small particles of dirt, dust and debris that settle on floors can act in an abrasive way, a bit like sandpaper, and can scuff the shine from the surface of the wood causing it to turn dull.
Pick a good floor cleaner If you want to look after anything from your clothes to even your skin you know that you have to put a bit of thought into what you put on them to clean them. Pick a cleaner or cleanser that is specifically designed for hardwood floors.
Ordinary mops just wont do It can be tempting to simply reach for your trusty kitchen mop but think twice! Use a low moisture mop with micro fibres that wont drown the wood surface and will stop liquid from sitting on the boards for too long preventing the risk of the boards warping as they absorb the moisture. Ordinary mops will wet your floor and often have abrasive surfaces which may scratch or damage your flooring.
You shouldnt have to worry about keeping a beautiful
oak floor looking nice is youre thinking of purchasing wooden flooring and its so easy to maintain them with a few simple steps that you can enjoy them for years after theyve been installed.
