Hardwood Care &
Maintenance

Act fast when a spill occurs. Immediately wipe up any liquid with a clean, dry cloth. Avoid letting liquids sit on the surface, as they can seep into the wood and cause damage or staining. For sticky spills, you may need to gently scrape away the residue with a plastic scraper before wiping clean.

Address stains promptly using a cleaning product specifically designed for hardwood floors and recommended by the manufacturer. Always test the solution in an inconspicuous area first to ensure it doesn't damage or discolor the finish. For persistent or challenging stains, consider consulting a professional hardwood floor cleaning service.

The best way to protect your hardwood floors is to prevent damage before it starts. Place mats at all exterior doors to catch dirt, grit, and moisture that can scratch or dull the surface. In high-traffic areas, consider using runners or area rugs to minimize wear. To avoid dents and scuffs, add felt pads to the bottoms of furniture and check them regularly for wear. If you have pets, keep their nails trimmed to reduce the risk of scratching.
