Hardwood Care & Maintenance
Daily Hardwood Care
There are plenty of measures that you can take that will help preserve your gorgeous hardwood planks daily. First, use mats at all entranceways and have guests remove footwear at the door when they enter the home. Brush your pets frequently to reduce the amount of hair and dander and trim all pet claws to prevent scratching the wood. Also, you can add area rugs to your hardwood floors for an extra layer of protection against foot traffic, pets, and spills!
Dirt, Debris, Spills & More
To keep your hardwood looking radiant, it’s incredibly important to keep the surface free of any offenders! Tracked-in dirt, debris, dust, and pet dander can all become abrasive over time and scratch the surface. If a spill occurs on your hardwood, you will want to treat it as promptly as possible to prevent moisture from creating any adverse effects to your floors. Moisture on hardwood can create warping, cupping, cracking, and oxidation over time if left untreated.
