A brief guide on maintaining residential wood flooring

The service life of your wood flooring is based on one critical aspect – the method in which you care and maintain the wood.

Cleaning is a crucial part of floor maintenance, and when it comes to cleaning your wood flooring in MetroWest, you may want to start by tidying up the room. It’s easier to clean the surface when it's completely clear of any obstacles. When moving items around such as heavy furniture, be sure to pick up the item rather than drag it on the wood's surface. Dragging is a sure way to damage the coating of the floor.

Once space is cleared, you can clean the floor with a damp mop. Keep in mind, though, to never soak the mop in water as using too much water has the potential to prune the longevity of the wood. Every few weeks, you can add a wood cleaner to the water for more effective results.

When you’re cleaning the surface, don’t forget to inspect the coating. Wood floors are covered in a layer of a coating designed to offer a basic level of protection. With time, this coating will fade due to foot traffic and incorrect cleaning. So, a top up every year might be necessary.

No matter whether you have wood flooring or ceramic tile flooring, proper maintenance is needed to keep the floor clean and beautiful and help it last for years to come.
