How to take care of your new hardwood floor

 

Once your brand-new hardwood floor has been installed, you can feel as though you should avoid even stepping on it in order to keep that beautiful glow. Thankfully, wood flooring is made to be used, and if you take good care of it, you may enjoy it for many years.

 

Protect the high-traffic areas.

Even with heavy usage, a rug or carpet may help keep your hardwood floors looking beautiful. Consider placing mats in the kitchen to relax your feet and minimize scuffing. A mat in the entranceway or hallway will be useful when visitors come and go, and rugs in the foyer can also be useful.

Use protectors on furniture feet.

Your flooring is most at risk from furniture feet. Even the wooden feet of a sofa can leave marks on the floor, but metal furniture really has to be padded to avoid leaving marks. Every sort of moveable furniture should have felt pads on the bottom of the feet, which are easily accessible and should be used.

Sweep or vacuum regularly.

Your floors will lose their shine faster if they are covered in dust and grit. Keeping all grit and dust off the floor is the easy way to stop this. To remove the tiny particles that can easily be ground into the hardwood, sweep the floor every day and vacuum often. Also, you can dry the mop to get rid of dirt and stop it from collecting. Wet mopping shouldn’t be done too frequently because it will damage the floor finish. If you decide to mop, select a floor cleaner that has been approved for hardwood floors.
