Wood Floor Care for Each Season
Spring
April showers may bring May flowers, but they also bring you moist shoes. Devise a strategy to maintain wet shoes away from your hardwood flooring.
We advocate deep cleaning your floors four times each year -- approximately after per year -- to maintain your flooring protected and looking their best. We strongly advise having a professional who'll take care of your flooring with the appropriate strategies and materials, like our West London Floor Sanding service.
Summer
Check the humidity of your home. Wood flooring can swell and be damaged if they are always subjected to high humidity. If you live in an area of high humidity or you notice your floorboards swelling, think about including a dehumidifier to your house.
Clear some space for those rainy day, indoor tasks, but move furniture the ideal way!
Winter
Check the humidity levels . Too small humidity into your house can also harm your hardwood floors.
Plan your moisture mitigation for the snow-covered guests that will be arriving for the holidays.
Replace missing or worn floor protector pads on the bottom of anything with legs -- chairs, tables, etc. and put them to anything fresh.
Day-to-Day Chores
While the big ticket items are for the most part covered above, taking small action every day, or each week can secure your flooring for years to come. Check out our manual to properly cleaning your flooring , and keep reading to find out what your flooring needs from you year round.
Place clean problem areas (clean up sticky spills, water, or small bits and pieces which may be monitored around).
Sweep once a week. Be cautious of using a vacuum cleaner, if you don't know it's made to be utilized on your hardwood flooring (some vacuums with beater bars may damage hardwood floors).
Shake door mats once every week, to prevent build up of dirt and dust which will eventually be tracked around.
