Hardwood floors look awesome but there are various problems that come with it. In the rainy season, there’s water and dirt while in winters, it’s snow and ice. It can become difficult to keep your floor super-clean due to weather conditions. How can you ensure that your floor stays shiny all the time?  Here are some tips for your wooden floor maintenance.

Dusting and sweeping

Regular sweeping and dusting is a must for hardwood floors. If there are any spills, then you need to clean it immediately by using a mop. The wood can shrink or start smelling foul is the spills aren’t cleaned immediately. If you have pets and kids, then you need to stay more careful about your hardwood floor. You can also have a no-shoes rule in your home to avoid dirt inside the home.

Vacuum is important

It isn’t important to vacuum daily but you need to do it weekly at least. Your home will be cleaner if vacuum cleaning is done. If there are any dirt or food crumbs left on the floor, then those can be cleaned with the vacuum machine. With the solid wood flooring, there will be lesser chances of it catching stains. So, it is important that you install a high quality floor which stays well-maintained throughout the year. You can also get furniture pads for your sofa, bed, or other furniture which has legs. This will reduce the friction on the floor and there won’t be any scratches when you move furniture in different places.
