(HIT) - You’ll shine and so will your hardwood floor when you use the right care to keep it looking like new. Here are some sensible do’s and don’ts to follow:
- First, do remember that if you’ve been cleaning your wood floors with vinegar and water, oil soap, furniture polish or window cleaner, you may be ruining your costly investment. While these cleaners may work well on some surfaces, hardwood floors are not one of them.
- Excessive wet mopping with water and vinegar can cause wood to expand, possibly permanently damaging the floor in addition to dulling the finish. Other cleaners that have silicone, wax or oil soaps can leave a residue on the finish that will adversely affect the adhesion of a new coat of finish, requiring a complete sanding and finishing of your floors to remove it.
- Cleaners that do not leave any residue allow you to periodically "pad and re-coat" your floors, which involves having your hardwood floor finishing professional deep clean and abrade your floor, then add a new coat of finish, which dramatically conserves time and money and keeps your floors looking like new.
