Looking to keep your Floor & Decor wood flooring clean and looking its best? One of the great things about hardwood floors is that they aren’t too difficult to maintain. However, there are still a few important things you’ll want to take into consideration in keeping your wood flooring looking its best. This guide will show you how! From cleaning to stain removal, we have the tips you need to keep your Floor & Decor wood flooring looking great and lasting a lifetime.

Clean at Regular Intervals

To keep your wood floors looking and feeling great, it’s important to clean them on a regular basis. This will remove stains and buildup that can lead to damage down the road if they’re not dealt with.

The frequency at which you’ll clean will depend on how quickly your floors become visibly dirty, how many people are in your household, and other factors. You might vacuum them every few days and wash them once a week or every other week, depending on your needs.

Get started by vacuuming your Floor & Decor wood flooring. Then, use a microfiber cloth to quickly and easily remove small particles and other debris your vacuum might not have picked up. Afterwards, use the right flooring care products to wash the flooring and protect it from damage.

Remove Stains Quickly

If your wood floors are covered in stains and spills, it’s time to get serious about cleaning them up. It’s best to clean up food spills and other stains immediately when you can wipe them away. If they’ve dried on the floor, however, you’ll need to follow a few extra steps. Loosen them by placing a hot cloth over them and scrubbing gently. You can use a gentle detergent cleaner if needed. For stubborn spills, use a gentle brush, such as a toothbrush, to further loosen any dried material. Wipe the spill up with a damp cloth, and proceed with your regular cleaning routine.

Some of the most common types of damage wood floors can suffer from are scratches, chips, and stains. To prevent any of these problems from happening, use the right wood floor care products. Don’t drag furniture across your wood floors, and use protective padding under furniture feet to prevent indentations from forming. You can also place rugs strategically on the floor to limit damage.

One of the best ways to protect your floors is to apply a protective coat of sealant or wax after cleaning. This will help keep the dirt and dust away, and protect the wood from scratches and chips.
