  2. Summary The deep red color of mahogany flooring can add warmth and richness to your home. Mahogany wood is relatively expensive compared with other hardwoods, so it's important to protect your investment with special care and cleaning methods. Too much water and most cleaning products can damage the finish. Preventative maintenance is crucial for extending the life of your mahogany flooring. Care and cleaning methods vary depending on the finish.

  3. General Care and Cleaning • Place rugs or mats near entryways to keep dirt and debris off of your mahogany flooring. Take off your shoes when coming in from outside to avoid tracking dirt across the floor. • Sweep your mahogany flooring with a soft-bristled broom or dust mop several times a week. Alternatively, you can vacuum your mahogany flooring with a vacuum on a hard floor setting. • Remove tough dirt and stains with a microfiber cloth lightly dampened with wood floor cleaner or water. Dry the mahogany flooring immediately with a towel. If your flooring has a wax finish, buff it with an electric buffer to restore its shine. If buffing doesn't work, consider removing and replacing the old wax. • Remove any old wax buildup with a solvent-based liquid wax. Apply it to the mahogany flooring with a soft cloth and wipe away the old finish. Allow the flooring to dry for at least 20 minutes before buffing it to a shine with an electric buffer.

  4. Outdoor Mahogany • Sweep dirt and debris from your mahogany flooring on a regular basis. Rinse it with a garden hose when sweeping is not enough. • Clean outdoor decking or flooring at least once a year with a deck cleaner according to the manufacturer's instructions. Apply the deck sealer with a garden sprayer and scrub it clean with a stiff-bristled brush. Rinse the flooring with a garden hose. • Apply a deck sealer or water repellant to your clean, dry mahogany flooring three or four days after cleaning.

  5. Things You Will Need • Broom or dust mop • Vacuum • Microfiber cloth • Wood floor cleaner (wax-free) • Towel • Electric buffer • Deck sealer or water repellant • Liquid wax cleaner (solvent-based) • Cloth • Deck cleaner • Garden hose • Garden sprayer • Stiff-bristled brush

  6. Tips • Attach felt protectors to furniture legs and keep pets' claws trimmed to prevent scratches on the floor. • Keep the mahogany flooring dry and wipe up any spills immediately with a slightly damp cloth. • Do not use wax-based wood cleaners, bleach or ammonia to clean mahogany flooring. • Do not soak mahogany flooring with water. • Do not wax mahogany flooring that has a surface finish.
