Solid wood floors are an excellent investment for any home, which promotes value for resale and interior warmth. However, if the floors are not properly maintained, this investment will not yield again. Under hardwood wood it is not difficult to maintain, and compared to carpet and other areas that are very difficult to clean or need to be replaced, solid wood foundations can be considered very low maintenance. However, proper care is essential to keep the fetus in good condition and to provide good light.
As in all apartments, the floor should be made of solid wood, but it should be thoroughly cleaned. The best way to clean a floor with urethane spots is to remove them with a wet mop. Using vacuum and bristle brooms daily will help keep the floor clean. But when it comes time to really clean the floor, use a wet mop. Allowing dirt and grime to accumulate on the ground, and walking on this bed as a season can hurt the end. Using a small amount of water should not damage the finished wood, but do not pour water and remove it as you like with a kitchen tile. A mop mop or dust rag is all that is needed, and there should be enough light in the water to dry in minutes. Make sure you understand what type of finish your area is, and what cleaning methods are suggested. Using soap and oil can make the manufacturer's warranties lower.
Another way to protect the solid wood floor is to use throwing tanks or pedestrian mats in traffic jams. For example, at an entranceway where people enter a house, traffic may be large in a single area, so the floor will dress unevenly in this area. This can make for a great place for local rugby. Look down on yourself over time, and consider putting some form of rugby or some other type of protection in areas that get a lot of wear. It is very important to use tiles under the wood in the kitchen in front of the sink and stoves.
The floor protectors under the furniture are highly recommended. You will want to pay special attention to folding chairs with rubber wheels like those found in offices. These seats have a tendency to leave rubber tracks on the floor. If you have such a seat, consider putting a line under it.
There are two basic finishes in the solid wood floor: urethane and wax finish. You should never clean the finished area of urethane. If your urethane floor is too old, you may need to fill it in which will include sanding and sealing. However, if you clean the floor regularly, using only soap recommended by the manufacturer, and protecting problem areas, you should avoid having to clean the floor for many years.
Wax floors need to be filled from time to time. It really is no different than cleaning and removing your car with grass. You will need to clean the floor first, and the buff areas are worn with high traffic. Sometimes, you will need to hold more wax in the old areas. Once the wax is finished, as in urethane removal, you should know that manufacturers recommend care procedures.
With proper repairs, your solid wood floors should last the entire life of your home, and look shiny and new for many years to come.
