How do I care for my hardwood floors?

DO:

-Use "Swiffers" or a dry dust mop to trap and remove dust & grit effectively.
-Vacuum frequently to remove dirt which can build up on floor surfaces and scratch the finish.
-Lift furniture when moving; never drag.
-Be careful to not drop items which can dent a wood surface.
-Wait at least 24 hours before placing any furniture onto a newly refinished floor.
-Use felt caster protectors to soften furniture's contact with the wood floor.
-Wait seven days before putting down area rugs. The finish needs exposure to air to properly cure and harden.
-Clean spills immediately to ensure a long-lasting, beautiful finish.

DON'T:

-Do not wet mop a wood floor. Too much water can cause wood to expand and buckle.
-Don't use any product which is not designed for today's finishes. Us a neutral pH product specifically for wood floors. "Woodwise" or household vinegar (1 cup to 1 gallon) works as a wonderful cleaner for everyday cleaning.
-Do not use throw rugs with vinyl or rubber backings. Some backing materials can react to certain floor finishes, causing discoloring or dull surfaces.
- It is best to monitor the amount of sun that shines onto a wood floor. As a natural product, wood can be discolored by intense sun rays and should be protected with sheer curtains or drapes.
-NEVER apply wax or use any cleaner that contains wax to a floor finished with "swedish" finish or poly-urethane. Again, only use products specifically developed for your type of floor finish.
