Hardwood flooring can last a long time and even longer if properly maintained. Santizo Hardwood Flooring has tips to properly care for your hardwood flooring in Raleigh.
Dust Mopping
Regular dust mopping is the best way to keep your hardwood flooring clean. A microfiber dust mop is great for the job as it can get down into the cracks. One thing though, make sure it is totally dry as water is the enemy of hardwood floors.
Damp Mopping
We told you that water is the enemy, but every once in a while, you might need to use a damp cloth in case of a spill.
Like any other flooring, you want to clean up spills right away. If you do have to use a cleaning fluid, make sure it is suitable for the type of finish of your flooring.
Recoating
It is recommended to have your hardwood floors recoated every three to five years. Recoating requires you to make sure the entire floor is evenly coated.
It is best to have it done by professionals like Santizos Hardwood Flooring.
Refinishing
Refinishing is a lot more work and also recommended to be done by professionals. It requires for the floors to be sanded down and a new finish to be applied.
This will also give you the opportunity to coat it in a different shade to give it an entirely new look.
Humidity
Humidity can damage the flooring. It can cause warping, cupping and buckling. During the hot, summer months in Raleigh you might even need to get a dehumidifier.
