Hardwood flooring makes a great addition to any home that can add style and warmth to your home. You may have concerns over how to keep this investment in your home looking great. Often, the weather in our area could present a challenge to Seattle flooring owners. Moisture is typically the number one enemy to wood flooring, but with proper precautions, you can avoid damage to your hardwood.
Be sure to use rugs or mats that are specifically made for hardwood floors near every entrance way in your home. This will help trap moisture and dirt from being tracked into the room. In kitchen areas, place mats on the floor in areas that may be prone to being splashed from sinks. Be sure to clean up any spills immediately to avoid water spots or stains to your floors.
Hardwood flooring typically does not require much maintenance, but you will want to avoid using a wet mop. Frequent sweeping will help avoid damage from any sand or dirt that can be abrasive to your floors. An occasional damp mopping is all that is really needed to keep your floors shiny; however, for times when a more thorough cleaning is desired, stick with cleaners recommended by your flooring manufacturer.
With proper care, your hardwood flooring will provide you with years of enjoyment in your home.
