Steps To Take For Hard Wood Flooring Maintenance
by jacks liam Floor SuppliersKeeping your hard wood flooring looking good is not something very
hard to do, provided that whatever maintenance related steps are there, they
are taken seriously. The seriousness in the upkeep matters a lot followed by
the continuity and this means that the steps recommended by the vendor are
taken on the time as recommended. The steps recommended are not very hard to
take, especially when the installation is in a home. But if the same is at your
office or some commercial space, in that case, they will become a decisive
factor. Some of those steps are discussed here in this post and we will start
with mopping.
Use A Dust Mop To Remove Dirt
No matter what kind of hardwood floors Sydney are installed there,
using dust mop is the best technique to set the area free from dirt, dust, sand
and broken hair. In this regards, experts recommend that this cleaning should
be done at least once in a week in low traffic areas. The same method can be
used on a daily basis if the area experiences too high traffic because if left
for too long, the dirt, dust, sand, etc. can cause scratching of the floor on a
large scale to snatch the shine and polish away. Sweeping and mopping are known
to be two effective steps, but dust mopping is the most effective followed by
vacuuming, but only if soft bristled attachments are brought into use.
Avoid Using Polish Or Wax
It is strictly recommended that you should never use waxes and
polishes on your hard wood flooring and the reason that experts cite is that
this will form a layer on the floor. The drawback of this layer is that it will
prevent the hardwood timber flooring from getting properly coated and hence, people
recommended seeking services only from the experts in this regards.
Use A Damp Mop
Damp mopping is the approach to take to set the floor free from
significant spills, lots of mud, dirt, dust and other kinds of dirt. This damp
mopping is very easy to perform because all you have to do is mist the floor
and then, wipe it using a microfiber cloth or terry rag. Selection of the right
floor cleaner matters the most here and it should be ensured that the one you
are using is suitable for use on hard wood floors Sydney. In terms of damp
mopping, you should understand that damp here means damp and it is totally
different from wet mopping. The reason is that if wet mopping is performed and
the water remains there for too long, it will penetrate into the wood and cause
issues like swelling, warping, etc.
Furniture Padding To Save Your Floors
Vendors recommend that whatever furniture is parked there on this
floor, all of them should have pads installed underneath their legs to prevent
any damage from occurring. Rugs, felt, sofa feet pads, and even cardboard can
be suitable wood floor protectors from tables, chairs and other furniture
items, especially if your furniture is metal.
