Hardwood Floor Maintenance & Follow-Up Care
Hardwood floors last longer when routine care protects the
finish and small maintenance needs are addressed before
wear becomes a full refinishing project. Imperial Wood
Floors can help homeowners understand appropriate floor-care practices and when professional maintenance may be
worth considering.
Protect the Finish Before Wear Becomes Damage
Maintenance needs depend on the finish, traffic, pets,
moisture and how the room is used. Use products and
cleaning methods appropriate for the floor finish, address
spills promptly and avoid waiting until the protective finish is
completely worn through. When the floor begins to look dull
or shows surface wear, ask whether a maintenance coat or
other professional service is appropriate.
- Follow the recommended cleaning method for the floor finish
- Use protective pads and manage tracked-in grit that can scratch the surface
- Address spills and moisture promptly
- Ask about maintenance/recoating before heavy wear reaches bare wood
- Use the site's Wood Floor Care pages for detailed do/don't guidance
Jeff and his crew did a stellar job on refinishing our maple hardwood floors. This is the second home we have used Imperial Floors for refinishing jobs. They were prompt, professional and our hardwoods look like a showroom floor. And we know from experience the high traffic finish lasts for years! Don’t wait…book Imperial today!
