Wood Floor Cleaning

Wood floors add warmth and elegance to any home, but they require proper care to maintain their beauty. Regular cleaning and occasional polishing are essential for preserving their shine and longevity.  

Cleaning:

Daily Maintenance: Sweep or vacuum with a soft brush attachment to remove dust and debris. This prevents scratches and dullness.  

Deep Cleaning: Use a damp mop with a wood floor cleaner specifically designed for your finish type (surface-sealed or penetrating). Avoid excessive water, as it can damage the wood.  

Stain Removal: For spills, blot immediately with a clean cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive scrubbers. For stubborn stains, consult a professional.

Polishing:

Assess the Need: Not all wood floors require polishing. If your floor looks dull despite regular cleaning, it might be time to polish.

Choose the Right Polish: Select a polish that matches your floor's finish. Wax-based polishes are for older floors, while modern finishes often benefit from water-based polishes.

Apply Sparingly: Follow the manufacturer's instructions. Apply a thin, even coat using a clean applicator. Avoid over-polishing, which can build up residue.

Buff for Shine: Once the polish dries, buff the floor with a soft cloth or buffing machine for a gleaming finish.
