Right After Installation or Refinishing
They say that “an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.” Here are some things you only need to do once that will protect your lovely floor.

- Make sure all castors are “hardwood-friendly”

Every Day Tips
Your floors will remain more beautiful longer if you pay attention to some things every day.
- Shield your floor from sunlight or intense artificial light
- Clean up spills quickly and completely
- Keep the temperature between 20 and 24 degrees C
- Keep the humidity between 40 and 60 percent
Regular Maintenance
You’ll find it easier to handle regular maintenance for your floors if you have a pattern to follow. Here’s what we suggest.
Regularly sweep or vacuum the floor to prevent sand or abrasive dust from accumulating and scratching the finish. Don’t use tools with steel edges or hard bristle brushes
Use manufacturer-recommended floor care products depending on the amount of use the floor receives. Floors that get frequent use should be cleaned every two to four weeks. For floors that are rarely used, every two months is usually fine.
