Tips for Hardwood Floor Cleaning

Hardwood floors can add a lot of flavor and beauty to a Twin Cities home, but these floors require a special type of care if they're to remain in great shape. Hardwood floors are porous in nature, meaning they can absorb liquids. Because hardwood floors are usually planked, liquid can also seep in between planks. That's why the first step to proper hardwood floor care and cleaning is to keep your floor sealed using a quality wood sealer.

When cleaning a hardwood floor, avoid acidic cleaners or ammonia. Also, try to avoid a full "wash" of your floor. Instead, opt for a slightly damp mop. You'll likely have to move some furniture around when cleaning the floor, but don't push it or drag it! Lift furniture, or use sliding pads to avoid having the legs of your furniture scratch or scrape the hardwood floor.
