Now that Ozburn-Hessey has installed your beautiful hardwood
flooring, you need to know how to keep it clean. This is especially important
because not only is it new, but hardwood flooring can easily be scratched or
water damaged. Whether you’ve got hardwood in your home in Franklin or your
business in the Gulch, keeping the floors clean can be a cinch with these tips:
Perform weekly dusting with a sweeper. Make sure
the sweeper has been treated with a dusting agent that will pick up hair, dust
and dander. Be sure never to use a vacuum on the hardwood. The wheels will
scratch the surface causing unnecessary damage.
Simple dusting is not going to pick up the dirt
and grime that builds up with constant wear and tear. Occasionally (perhaps
once or twice a year) clean the floors using a hardwood flooring cleanser according
to the label’s instructions. Once you are finished, be sure to remove any
access liquid from the floors. This will prevent any water damage to the
hardwood flooring.
After
you install hardwood flooring, there’s a lot of “oooing” and
“ahhing” that comes with it. But just like with any other floor, you
need to keep it cleaned and looking nice. Yes, hardwood can last long but they
have to be properly cleaned on a routine basis. If you have further questions
about tips on how to keep your hardwood clean or you would like to know more
