Now that you have your beautiful timber floor, keeping it properly maintained will help preserve its appearance and protect the floor coating for many years.
Follow the simple tips below to keep your timber floors clean, safe and looking their best.
### Do’s
• Clean up spills as soon as they happen.
Moisture left sitting on timber floors can damage the finish and allow water to penetrate the floorboards.
• Vacuum or sweep regularly.
Use a vacuum with a soft brush head attachment or a soft broom to remove dust, dirt and grit that can scratch the floor surface over time.
• Use a spray mop with a timber floor cleaner.
A spray mop with a cleaner specifically formulated for timber floors helps remove everyday grime while keeping moisture levels low and safe for the floor coating.
### Don’ts
• Avoid using steam mops.
Despite what some manufacturers claim, the combination of heat and moisture from steam mops can cause timber floors to warp and may damage the protective coating.
• Avoid traditional mop and bucket cleaning.
Using excessive water can leave moisture on the floor surface and may cause long-term damage to timber flooring.
