The beauty of hardwood is just about unmatched, with scuff-resistant technology that prolongs its beauty. However, to keep it looking its best for decades to come, you'll need to establish a daily care routine.
Daily Care And Maintenance
We recommend using doormats in your home and removing shoes before walking across your hardwood flooring. We also recommend using floor protectors with all heavy furniture. Never drag furniture across your hardwood.
Vacuum your hardwood frequently using a manufacturer-approved vacuum cleaner. Additionally, make sure you sweep and dry mop. Only use manufacturer-approved cleaning solutions on your flooring and hire professional floor cleaning companies to handle any deep cleans.

Dealing With Spills And Stains
No matter how careful you are, you'll encounter the occasional mess on your hardwood flooring. It's important to know how to address them as soon as you find them.
Common spills, such as milk and pet accidents, can wipe away clean with a cloth. Tend to liquid spills immediately, as hardwood flooring is not water-resistant! For other stains such as wax or nail polish, consult your manufacturer's guidelines.
