Maintenance

• Squeaky is a cleaning product we recommend.  Mist floor and use micro-fibered Swiffer to buff.
• Never use oil base cleaning produce as they can built up over time and cause a haze. If this happens, the next time you have your floors refinished a more aggressive process will be needed to achieve the original beauty.
• Use a soft bristle brooms or vacuum attachments regularly to remove debris from your wood floors.
• Place felt pads on the bottoms of all furniture, this will reduce scratches.
• Do not mop wood floors; wipe up any spills immediately.
• Keep your home thermostat between 68 -72 degrees.
• Keep moisture levels in your home between 30%- 50%. High moisture levels can cause wood floors to cup and low moisture levels can cause shrinking and gapping.
• Using throw rugs at inside and outside entries will cut down on debris and prevent stretches.
• Have your wood floors professionally cleaned ever two years; this will help remove old debris and cleaning products that can dull your floor over time.
• Have your wood floors professionally screen and recoated every 5-7 years depending on floor traffic.
