Floor Maintenance

Routine Maintenance

Keeping your floors looking brand new takes just a few simple steps at the end of each week:

Remove debris

Sweep with a soft-bristle broom or use a lightweight vacuum attachment.

Restore the shine

Lightly mist the floor with a high-quality hardwood cleaner and wipe with a microfiber mop.

Caring for Your Floors

  • Maintain Humidity

    Keep your home between 35–45% humidity. Use a humidifier in the winter to prevent shrinkage, and a dehumidifier in the summer to prevent swelling.

  • Wipe Spills Fast

    Clean up all spills immediately. Never wet-mop or use excessive water.

  • Avoid Waxes

    Do not apply any wax or polish to the finish.

  • Use Entryway Rugs

    Place mats at doors to catch dirt and grit that can scratch the finish.

  • Pad Your Furniture

    Install soft fabric or plastic glides under all furniture legs.

  • Lift to Move

    Never slide furniture across the floor; always lift and place it.

  • No High Heels

    Avoid wearing high heels on the wood to prevent deep dents.
