Hardwood floors can be an excellent addition to any house. Wood floors are popular because they’re versatile and add natural beauty to any home. Wood floors are also popular because they require less maintenance than other types of flooring. It would be a big mistake to think that because you have hardwood floors, you don’t have to care for or maintain them.
It is important to maintain your wood floors to keep them in good condition and to make sure they are clean for you and your family. To maintain hardwood floors effectively, you must hire a hardwood floor cleaner who will periodically deep clean, shine, and renew them.
How to deep clean hardwood floors
You can maintain your hardwood floors’ integrity and health between professional deep cleanings. Here are some tips:
Dust or sweep daily
The best thing that you can do to maintain your hardwood floors is to dust or sweep them with a soft broom. Over time, dirt and dust can accumulate on the floor’s surface and within the grain. Dust and dirt on the floor can not only spread throughout the house and harm your health, but they can also damage the floor by scraping and causing other surface damage. It is, therefore, important to use a broom that will not scratch your floors.
Mop
Many people also use mopping to keep their hardwood flooring clean. There are some things you should keep in mind while mopping. Avoid traditional soaps and detergents from the store, which tend to leave an oily film or sheen on the floor and can contain harmful chemicals. It is important not to allow water to collect on your flooring. Water that pools can warp the wood and cause permanent damage. To prevent this, make sure to wring out your mop thoroughly before using it. If necessary, you can also dry your floors by hand after mopping.
Vacuum
Vacuuming is an alternative to mopping, but it should still be done with caution. Vacuums can be heavy and scratch your hardwood floor. Use a vacuum with a hard floor function. Be careful of vacuums with beater bars or wheels that can cause dents.
Polish the floor using a material that is not abrasive
Buffing your hardwood floors can help remove any remaining dirt. It will also give them a nice shine. To avoid scuffs and scuff marks, use a microfiber towel or non-abrasive cloth. Work in the direction that the grain runs.
Avoid using oils and waxes.
Oils, waxes, and other store-bought products can make your floor look shiny. However, these products often cause a buildup of residue and may even cause permanent damage.
Professionally clean them
Professional cleaning is the best way to protect your hardwood floor investment and keep them in good condition. It will make your hardwood floors and home healthier and restore their natural beauty.
