HARDWOOD FLOORING CARE & MAINTENANCE

HARDWOOD CLEANING TIPS & MORE

Hardwood flooring, whether solid or engineered, is loved for its beauty and timelessness. To keep it looking its best, however, you'll need to put in a little bit of work. While many of today's manufacturers have made their flooring more durable, hardwood still isn't impervious to wear and tear.

INVEST IN DOORMATS

Invest in mats for entryways and remove all outdoor shoes before walking across your hardwood flooring.

USE PROTECTIVE PADS

Heavy furniture can leave dents in hardwood over time. Use floor protectors on all table and chair legs.

CLEAN REGULARLY

Sweep, vacuum, and dry mop your hardwood flooring regularly to keep it looking its very best.

HARDWOOD STAINS & SPILLS

Occasional spills and stains are inevitable, especially if you have pets or kids. Most liquid spills will wipe away simply with a cloth. You'll want to do this as quickly as possible, as hardwood flooring is not water-resistant. Other spills, such as wax or nail polish, are more complex. Check with your manufacturer's care instructions before attempting to tackle these! You can also take a look at our stain removal guide in the additional resources section below.
