Caring for Your Exquisite Hardwood

Keep your hardwood looking as pristine as the day it was installed with simple care and maintenance tips.

Preserve Your Hardwood's Beauty with Regular Care

Preserve the natural beauty of your hardwood floors with a simple, consistent care routine. Regular sweeping or vacuuming with a soft-brush attachment will remove dirt and debris, preventing scratches. For deeper cleaning, use a slightly damp mop and a wood floor cleaner specifically formulated for your finish. To protect your floors from excessive moisture, avoid using steam cleaners or soaking the floor. Additionally, consider placing furniture pads under heavy furniture to prevent dents and scratches. By following these simple steps, you can enjoy the timeless beauty of your hardwood floors for years to come.

Addressing Spills & Stains

No matter how careful you are, accidents can happen. But don't panic. Quick action can save your hardwood from permanent damage. Here's what to do:

  • Blot, Don’t Rub: Gently blot up spills with a clean, absorbent cloth. Rubbing can spread the stain and scratch the surface.
  • Use a Gentle Cleaner: Apply a mild, wood floor cleaner and blot the stain gently. Avoid using harsh chemicals or excessive water, as this can damage the finish.
  • Professional Cleaning for Stubborn Stains: For stubborn stains or deep cleaning, consult a professional hardwood floor cleaning service.
