WOOD FLOORS

Sweep or vacuum regularly to prevent dirt from scratching the finish.

Wipe up liquid spills immediately.

Damp mop with warm water for regular maintenance, or use a pH-neutral cleaner that will be gentle on your wood floors.

Never use floor wax, oil-based detergent, or any other household cleaner on your floor. These products can damage the finish and leave a greasy film that makes your floor slippery, difficult to maintain, and impossible to refinish without deep sanding and complete revarnishing.

Be mindful of your footwear — watch out for high heels and cleats which can cause pitting, dents, and scratching.

Avoid floor mats and rugs with rubber/dense backing; these materials can prevent airflow and trap dirt and moisture.

Maintain indoor humidity levels around 45% to protect your wood floors & furniture.

Rotate furniture & area rugs occasionally in order to uniformly expose the wood to light and keep color changes uniform.
