Our Prefinished Floors Provide Superior Wear and Stain Resistance. Even so, simple routine care and maintenance will help protect your floors and ensure years of hassle-free enjoyment and natural beauty. For unfinished flooring, follow specific care and maintenance instructions provided by the finish manufacturer.

Cleaning

  • Sweep, vacuum, or dust mop regularly to prevent sand or abrasive dust build up that can scratch the floor’s finish.
  • Blot up spills immediately with a damp cloth
  • Periodically clean floors using a leading brand of cleaner made for prefinished hardwood floors (follow directions on bottle)
  • Do not use ammonia or oil-based wax, polish, abrasive cleaners, or furniture cleaners.

Protecting

  • Place high-quality floors mats and area rugs near outside entrances to prevent dirt, sand and other unwanted substances from being tracked directly onto flooring.
  • Support heavy furniture and appliances with wide-bearing glides or casters.
  • Affix felt floor protectors on movable furniture, including chairs, tables, and sofas, that sit directly on hardwood flooring.
  • Relative humidity should be maintained between 35% and 55% to minimize expansion and contraction of hardwood flooring.
  • Avoid walking on floors with sharp, "stiletto" style high-heels shoes.
