How to maintain hardwood floor

Preserve the appearance of your hardwood or engineered wood flooring for many years thanks to these few tips:

  • Use protective mats at entrance doors to collect dirt and absorb moisture. Avoid mats with a rubber undercovering as they could damage the varnish.
  • Use protective felt pads under chairs and furniture to prevent scratches.
  • Never wash the floor with a lot of water; excessive moisture can damage the wood.
  • Use a vacuum cleaner, a mop or a broom to pick up dust.
  • Wipe up any spots or spills immediately.
  • Never use wax.
  • Avoid walking with high-heeled shoes on your hardwood or engineered wood floor.
  • The claws of pets can scratch hardwood or engineered wood floors.
