Do’s and Don'ts of Hardwood Floor Care

DO:

• Place a natural or breathable colorfast mat at outside entries to catch tracked-in dirt and moisture.
• Prevent indentations with felt floor protectors on chairs and furniture.
• Immediately wipe up spills or wet feet with a cloth or sponge.
• Clean with hardwood & laminate floor cleaner and microfiber mop.

DON’T:

• Use oil soap-based cleaners or "mop and shine" products, which may leave a dull film.
• Use abrasive cleaners or steel wool, which can scratch your floor.
• Wax or polish your floor.

 

Proper Floor Care

First, dry mop or vacuum your hardwood or laminate floor, then clean your wood floor with a hardwood & laminate Floor Cleaner.  

 

 

 Carpet One recommends a cleaner that lifts soil from the surface of the urethane finish without leaving a dull film. Ready-to-Use formulations are great for spot cleaning or all over floor care.  

• No rinsing required, appropriate for all gloss level finishes. 
• Perfectly formulated for no-wax hardwood or laminate floors.
