Hardwood Floor Maintenance 
 

IMPORTANT INFORMATION ON CARING FOR YOUR WOOD FLOORS

(please see our link to the NWFA consumer site for more information.)
Special care must be taken the first month.  Avoid severe wear and washing during that period.  It is recommended that all the furniture be equipped with self-sticking felt pads under the supports to protect against scratches. (We have a large supply of high quality felt pads in variable sizes available for purchase.)

Wipe up spills with a dry or slightly damp cloth.  Only use professionally recommended floor cleaners, never use oil or wax type cleaners...for safety, and to ensure being able to add an extra coat of finish in 5-10 years if desired.

Remember to occassionaly move large area rugs to minimize sharp age lines in the flooring.

MINIMIZE large swings in temperature and more importantly, humidity.  Too much heat in the winter, without some moisture, will cause severe movement in the flooring.  Invest in a small thermo-hygrometer to monitor humidity levels in the home.

 

Properties of Wood

All the wood in your home will contract or expand according to the moisture in the air.  Doors and windows may swell and stick during a rainy season.  In dry, cold weather, cracks and fine lines of separation may appear in walls, cabinets and furniture.  The same reaction to humidity or the lack of it is happening constantly in your wood floors.  Tiny cracks between edges of boards may appear when unusually dry conditions are produced by your heating system.  In the warmer summer months your floor may expand somewhat making those same cracks less noticeable.  In addition, if your home is newly completed the inside climate may change to a dryer one as many of the building materials are slow to dry.  These are characteristics of wood because wood is a product of nature, and its natural quality is what makes it desirable.

 

 

Cleaning

Keeping your hardwood floors in good condition should be relatively easy.  Dirt and grit are the major sources of surface destruction.  Even small soil particles, ground in by foot traffic, can wear away at the protective coating and eventually damage the grain over a period of time. Using a well squeezed cloth or damp mop for small spills with water only is standard practice.  Use Bona, Pallman, Poly Care or Synteko Hardwood Floor cleaners for additional cleaning when necessary. Never scrub with coarse brushes or detergents.  Never intentionally pour water onto your floor.  Please Note:  An additional coat of finish cannot be applied if wax, oil soaps or similar floor products have been used.

 

Long Term Maintenance

A recoat of Swedish Finish can be applied if you use the recommended procedures to care for your wood floors.  An additional coat of finish is recommended in Five to Ten years in high traffic areas or longer in low wearing areas.  Recoating your finish will eliminate the need for refinishing, unless there has been significant wear-through or oil soaps or waxes have been used.

Please see our NWFA consumer link for more information.
