Floor Care
Wood flooring is timeless. The warmth and richness of hardwood floors are a perfect complement to your furnishings. With the great variety of color and species of woods available, we can help you find just the right look for your home.
Not only does hardwood flooring add charm and beauty to your home it can actually cost less than other types of flooring. Regardless of care, carpeting and resilient floors will, in time, become worn looking and will need to be replaced. Because of the renewability of hardwood, when it eventually shows signs of wear you have three options. Use a refresher to revive the shine, lightly screen and re-coat with urethane to bring back the original luster or completely sand and refinish the surface to make your floor look brand new. Hardwood flooring adds to the value of your home and properly cared for will last a lifetime.
Many allergists recommend wood floors as the perfect choice for a healthy home. With a few precautions and a minimum of care, your hardwood floors will continue looking beautiful and new, year after year.
A properly finished wood floor is the easiest of all floor surfaces to keep clean and new looking. A durable urethane finish seals the open pores of the wood and protects it from most household spills. By following the suggestions below you can keep your wood floors looking beautiful.

Use dirt-trapping mats at all exterior doors. We also
recommend using throw rugs just inside entrances. It's important
to keep door mats clean. Dirt can scratch your floor surface or
be ground in permanently. |
|
|
Move heavy furniture and appliances by sliding them on a piece of thick carpet placed face down. |
|
|
Put fabric glides on the feet of chairs and tables so that the furniture can be moved easily without scuffing the floor. Regularly clean these protectors since grit can become embedded in them. Certain types of furniture casters can dent or damage your hardwood floor. Avoid metal, hard plastic, and ball type casters. For the best protection use hard rubber barrel type casters or wide flat glides on heavy furniture. |
|
|
Consider using area rugs or runners in high-traffic areas.
|
|
|
Avoid walking on wood floors in high heels or in shoes with
protruding nail heads. |
|
|
Wipe up spills promptly. Use a soft dry cloth or paper
towel. For sticky spills use a slightly moistened cloth then
wipe dry with another cloth. |
|
|
Never use a product which will leave a wax or oil residue on
the wood as this may make refinishing more difficult. |
|
|
Vacuum and/or dust mop weekly or as needed. Don't use a dust
treatment product. A slightly dampened mop can be used for
sticky spills or periodically for general cleanup on floors with
a non-waxed polyurethane finish. |
|
|
Finishes and certain chemicals in wood oxidize and are
affected by ultra violet light causing the wood and finish to
change color and develop a patina. To avoid uneven appearance
move area rugs occasionally and shade large windows. |
|
|
Seasonal cracking in wood is common because hardwood floors are sensitive to climate. To minimize cracking a humidifier can be used to keep the relative humidity in your home between 30% and 50%. |
When surface finish in traffic areas start to show significant signs of ware, screening and re-coating is the least involved process to restoring your floor at a fraction of the the cost of re-sanding.
