Lustrous Hardwood Floors

• Hardwood floors infuse a home with a rich, warm glow and natural beauty: and if you care for them properly, you can continue to enhance your home for a lifetime. Maintenance requires little more than a regular sweeping with a soft bristle broom and periodic mopping with a cleaner specifically made for floors.
• In addition, the following tips can help you keep your hardwood floors looking beautiful and lustrous for years to come:
• When mopping, never use a wet mop or cleaner designed for vinyl or tile floors.
• Dirt can be abrasive to your floors, so protect them by placing mats outside each entrance. This will help minimize the amount of dirt that is tracked into your home. Also place area rugs just inside the door to help catch anything the mats have missed.
• Avoid scratching your hardwood floors by outfitting furniture bottoms with felt pads. Be sure to clean the pads frequently to remove any dirt.
• Direct sunlight can fade your floors, so consider hanging sheer window coverings to protect from intense ultraviolet rays.
