How to clean and preserve your hardwood flooring

Dust Mopping to Remove Dirt 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.


 
Damp Mopping Spills and Heavy Dirt Spills and tracked-in dirt can be cleaned by lightly damp mopping the floor. Recommended cleaners are "Swiffer Dry," and "Swiffer Wet" (do not use the "Swiffer Wet Jet," it releases too much water which can damage your hardwood flooring). You can also use 4 ounces of windex mixed with 32 ounces of water, mist floor with spray bottle (old windex bottle) wipe with towel or dust mop.


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.

Be careful to use only a damp mop, not wet, as excess water will damage the floor. Note: Oil soaps, liquid ammonia, and vinegar are not to be used on floor finish. 

 




 

 

Do Not Wax or Polish  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.
