Homeowners consider hardwood to be the most desirable type of flooring, but it does require special care. Taking care of your floors will keep them looking brand new and help you avoid hardwood refinishing. One of the most important parts of caring for your floors is to clean them regularly. You must not only clean them well, but also use the right products to ensure no damage is done in the process. Harsh chemicals and cleaning products can damage hardwood floors, often leading to hardwood floor refinishing. Using a dust mop to remove debris will help prevent scratches and nicks on your floors. It's also important to limit moisture in the room. Humidity and even spills can warp floors, causing significant damage. Wipe up any spills right away and use a de-humidifier in especially humid rooms. This simple step can keep your floors in great shape for many years. Another easy way to damage your hardwood is by dragging furniture across the floor's surface. Pick up any furniture that must be moved around in the room to avoid damage done by scuffs from furniture. Many deep scratches and gouges are impossible to repair, even with hardwood floor refinishing. You should also use curtains and blinds to prevent prolonged sun exposure. Lengthy exposure to the sun can damage the floor's surface and even change its color. Cleaning solutions used to clean your hardwood floors should be those made especially for use on wood. Most major stores offer a selection of products that won't damage your floors. If your floors have been damaged, hardwood floor refinishing might be the only way to repair the damage. Often minor scuffs can be taken care of with a quick repair done by a professional. Since you'll want to enjoy your floors for many years to come, it's important to follow these simple steps to keep them looking good as new.
