• Do not use water or water based products to damp mop your floors - water and wood do not mix!
• Do not use water and vinegar to clean your floors - this combination will damage your wood floor.
• Never let a water spill dry on your hardwood floor.
• Do not use household dust treatments of any kind.
• Sweep or vacuum your floor regularly with a soft surface cloth or soft vacuum attachment.
• Clean your floor with a lightly dampened cloth using a recommended hardwood cleaning product, following the manufacturer's directions.
• Clean only when necessary and clean only the soiled areas.
• Do not allow anyone to walk on your floor with high heeled shoes - this will cause very noticeable indentations throughout the area walked on.
• Felt protector pads should be used under all furniture legs. These protector pads also need to be replaced regularly, so be sure to check those under frequently moved furniture every four to six months.
• The use of walk off mats at entry/exit doors is recommended.
