How to maintain the beauty of your wooden floor

1. Keep gravel and sand outside
The first thing you can do for your wood floor is get a good doormat to clean and dry shoes before coming in. We recommend removing your shoes before entering.

2. Put protective pads on furniture
Put soft pads on the bottom of table and chair legs and keep an eye that they haven’t fallen off. Don’t use protectors made of metal as they can wear patches and scratch the floor.

3. Wipe away liquid spills immediately
One of the most damaging things to any sort of wood flooring is excess moisture. While our engineered wooden floors are treated in some ways to make it less sensitive to water, you should still aim to clean up spills as soon as they occur to avoid any warping. When you clean the floor, you should also use a damp cloth or mop, and not a wet one.

4. Keep the floor clean
Dry cleaning is the best way to clean wooden floors, rather than wet cleaning. Sweep away dust and dirt on a daily basis. You can also use a vacuum cleaner but make sure that you have the correct attachments for a wooden floor.

5. Regular care with surface maintenance product
Different wooden surface requires different maintenance products.
For natural oiled floor, initial and regular application of natural oil which gives the floor a high level of protection.
In addition, specific floor soap can be applied daily for simple and thorough cleaning.
