Cleaning Your Hardwood Floor

Place walk off mats or area rugs at each entryway to collect dirt and grit that might be tracked in.
These tiny particles act like sandpaper and will scratch your floor.
Be sure to avoid using rubber-backed or non-ventilated mats or rugs as they can damage your floor. Instead use mats or rugs made especially for hardwood floors and remember to shake them out regularly.
Remember to place mats in any areas where water may be splashed, such as near a kitchen sink.
Floors with a urethane finish should never be waxed and require cleaners that won’t leave a film or residue.
For regular daily upkeep of your floor, a simple sweeping or vacuuming should be all that is required.
A floor vacuum with a hardwood floor attachment or one in which the beater brush can be turned on should be used to avoid scratching or damaging the floor.
