Floor Care
How to clean and preserve your floor
.Sweeping and vacuuming will remove most dirt, but not all. A good quality dust mop is the
most effective tool for removing the finer particles of dust and grit that will grind off finish.
.To keep your floor looking its best, dust mop once a week minimum. Dust more often
depending on the amount of dirt carried into the house and the number of people living in the
house.
.A good rule of thumb is once a week for the house and then add once a week for each child
and large pet in the house.
.Spills and tracked in dirt can be cleaned by lightly damp mopping the floor.
.Be careful to use only a damp mop, not wet, as excess water may damage the floor.
Note: Oil soaps, liquid ammonia, and vinegar are not to be used on floor finish.
.Do not let the cleaning solution remain on the floor. Use a clean towel and dry the floor. Even
though the cleaners will not harm the finish, water can soak between the boards and cause
damage to the wood.Rinsing should not be necessary.
.Do not wax or polish. If you anticipate the need for a fresh coat of finish in a few years, do not
wax or polish your floor. The films left by waxes and polishes cannot be coated over. Consult
one of our specialists at Charlie's Hardwood Floors if you have questions about waxes or
polishes. Note: Oil soaps are not to be used for the same reason.
.Several years of hard use may require recoating to restore the finish. A recoat can be done
with a minimum of inconvenience. The floor should be coated when it shows signs of wear; do
not wait until it has worn to the bare board. Consult one of our specialists at Charlie's
Hardwood Floors.
