- Wipe up any and all spills with a dry cloth and never use a wet mop to clean the floors.
- Keep floors dirt-free with a broom or vacuum and only use pH-balanced cleaning products for hardwood floor care.
- Place rugs in high-traffic areas to reduce wear and tear.
- If moving furniture, lift it instead of dragging or use felt gliders.
- Limit direct sunlight exposure by using curtains or blinds.

- 1. When mopping, never use a wet mop or cleaners designed for vinyl or tile floors. These methods can actually make your floors look dull rather than clean. Stay away from Murphy’s oil to clean your floors also, this will only build up residue and make your floors look bad over time.
- 2. Dirt can be abrasive to your floors, so protect them by placing mats outside each entrance, which will minimize the amount of dirt that is tracked into your home. Also, place area rugs just inside the door to help catch anything the mats may have missed.
- 3. Avoid scratching your hardwood floors by outfitting furniture bottoms with felt pads or plastic glides. Be sure to clean the pads or glides regularly to remove any dirt. This is especially important in the kitchen and dining room where chairs are moved frequently.
- 4. Direct sunlight can fade your floors over time, so consider hanging sheer window coverings to protect you from intense UV rays. We all love the sun but this can damage your flooring in time. Also, area rugs can take their toll. Even though
- 5. Area rugs can take their toll. Even though we love area rugs seeing they compliment any room and they do help protect your floors with traffic, the sun shining on a spot with an area rug in the room will show the outline of the rug over time.
