For many great reasons, homeowners love hardwood floors, which provide elegance, durability, and relatively easy maintenance. To keep your hardwood floors looking great for as long as possible, it?s worth adhering to some basic maintenance measures. For the most part, hardwood floor maintenance can be easily completed by the homeowner. But when it comes time to refinish your hardwood flooring, you can let a professional handle the job. At Cutting Edge Flooring Services, we specialize in hard floor installation and refinishing. Here are some helpful hardwood flooring maintenance tips.
Daily Dusting/Sweeping
As gross as it may sound, the reality is that the human body sheds about eight pounds of skin each year, much of which ends up on flooring. And dead skin attracts trillions of microscopic dust mites to your home. Also, even if you don't allow shoes in the house, it?s inevitable that dirt will still find its way onto your flooring. And if you have pets, their hair and dander will regularly find its way onto your hardwood floors. For these reasons, it?s worth sweeping and/or dusting your hardwood floors on a daily basis. It?s not a big deal if you miss a day here or there, but even just a quick sweep will help to keep your home fresh and your hardwood flooring looking fabulous.
Use Wood Floor Cleaner each Month
On a monthly basis, it?s a good idea to use a hardwood floor cleaner and a flat mop to keep your flooring extra clean. For this task, the mop should be wringed out so that it?s just mildly damp rather than soaking wet.
Furniture Pads
Furniture legs are notorious for scratching wood floors. You can prevent such scratches by carefully moving furniture and placing pads under the legs of couches, tables, and chairs.
Refinishing
After several years, hardwood floors can begin to look dull. By refinishing them, you can restore their original beauty. This is often done at some point between five and ten years. At Cutting Edge Flooring Services, we offer top-quality hardwood floor refinishing in the greater Cincinnati area.
