Your Essential Guide to Hardwood Floor Care

Your floors aren’t just part of your home — they’re part of your lifestyle and investment. With the right care, they’ll keep their beauty and strength for decades. Proper maintenance prevents wear, protects your investment, and ensures your home always feels warm and inviting.

Daily Cleaning Tips

Sweeping and Dusting

Your first defense against scratches and dullness. A soft broom or microfiber mop keeps dust and debris off your floors daily.

Spill Cleanup

Quick action saves your floors. Wipe up spills immediately with a dry or damp cloth to prevent stains and warping.

Weekly Maintenance

Vacuuming

Your weekly vacuuming keeps dirt from settling into cracks. Use a soft-bristle attachment to avoid scratches.

Mopping

Your floors stay fresh with a damp mop and pH-neutral cleaner. Just make sure your mop isn’t too wet — less water means longer-lasting beauty.

Monthly Deep Cleaning

A more thorough cleaning with a recommended hardwood floor cleaner should be done monthly. This helps remove any build-up of dirt and grime that regular cleaning might miss.

Preventative hardwood care

Polishing

Bring back your floor’s shine once a year with the right polish, adding both beauty and protection.

Recoating

Every 3–5 years, your floors deserve a fresh topcoat. This protects against wear and extends their life.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Tips to Preserve Your Floor’s Integrity

Too Much Water

Excess moisture damages wood — stick with damp, not wet.

Harsh Chemicals

Your finish can fade fast with strong cleaners. Choose gentle, wood-safe products.

Ignoring Humidity Levels

Keep your home between 35–55% humidity to prevent cracks and warping.
