The Basic Care
Speed up the cleaning procedure by first dusting the floor with a mop that has been treated with a dusting agent to pick up dust, dirt, and pet hair that might scrape the floor surface. Vacuum or sweep your floor regularly with a soft-bristled attachment or broom, especially in high-traffic areas. This prevents persistent dirt and particle buildup that can scratch the wood’s surface.
For weekly or biweekly cleaning, vacuum with a floor-brush attachment on a vacuum cleaner or an electric broom. Do not use a vacuum with a beater bar add-on, which can scratch a wood floor's finish. For quick dusting, use disposable electrostatic cloths, available at grocery and discount stores.
Use protective window coverings to block fade-causing UV rays and extreme heat from direct sunlight. Most wood types will slowly age when not covered, so it’s a good idea to rearrange rugs and furniture occasionally to help it age evenly.
Keep pets’ paws clean and nails trimmed.Pets can smell the scent in substances that cause scraping and blemishes.
Use a humidifier during heating periods to help reduce wood contraction and humidity between 35% and 55%.
Use ice to harden hard substances like wax or chewing gum, and then gently scrape with a plastic scraper or a credit card. Be careful not to scratch the surface and wipe the area clean with a soft, slightly damp cloth.
