🧹 1. Clean Regularly (But the Right Way)
- Sweep or vacuum 2–3 times per week to remove dust and grit.
- Use a vacuum with a soft brush attachment to avoid scratching.
- Avoid wet mops — too much water can damage wood. Instead, use a damp microfiber mop.
🧴 2. Use the Right Cleaning Products
- Only use hardwood-specific cleaners (pH-balanced, non-abrasive).
- Avoid vinegar, ammonia, or harsh chemicals — they strip the finish and dull the shine.
- For stubborn spots, lightly dampen a cloth and wipe gently.
🪞 3. Protect Floors From Furniture and Pets
- Place felt pads under chairs and heavy furniture.
- Keep pet nails trimmed to prevent scratches.
- Use rugs or mats in high-traffic areas (hallways, entryways).
☀️ 4. Control Humidity and Sunlight
- Hardwood expands and contracts with moisture. Keep indoor humidity between 35–55%.
- Use blinds or curtains to prevent sun fading.
- Consider UV-blocking finishes if your floors are in direct sunlight.
🛠️ 5. Recoat or Refinish When Needed
- Every 3–5 years, apply a maintenance coat of polyurethane to restore shine.
- Deep scratches, dull spots, or discoloration? It may be time for full refinishing.
- At Danzco Hardwood Floors, we offer dust-controlled sanding, custom stains, and a 2-year labor warranty to make floors look brand new again.
