Akron Ohio Hardwood Flooring Sanding Refinishing

Protect your hardwood floors from damage:

• Place felt protector pads on the bottoms of all furniture that come into direct contact with your floor.
• Use barrel type casters instead of ball casters to help prevent dents.
• Use non-marking rubber casters instead of plastic or metal pads.
• Always pick up furniture or other objects rather than drag them.
• Place scatter rugs or mats at entrances to help catch dirt that can scratch floors.
• Avoid area rugs with rubber or vinyl backing as they may cause discoloration.
• Move area rugs occasionally to help keep the floor from being discolored.
• Don't wear cleats or high heels in disrepair that can scratch or leave dents.
• Clean up water or liquid spills immediately so the water does not have a chance to soak into the wood.
• Don't expose floors to extreme heat or prolonged strong sunlight as ultraviolet light can cause any organic material including wood to discolor over time.

Clean your hardwood floor with care:

• Sweep and dust mop regularly.
• Vacuum only with the beaters turned off.
• Clean using a cloth or soft mop slightly dampened with manufacturers recommended cleaning products – or you may use a 10 to 1 solution of water and vinegar, or, generic hardwood floor cleaner such as WoodWise or Bona.
• Don't use a wet mop or steam on your hardwood floor as it can dull the finish or even damage the wood.
• Don't use wax or petroleum-based cleaners unless specifically called for by the wood floor manufacturer.
• Don't use ammonia or products designed for wood furniture, such as spray wax or dust cleaners.Contact us for a free consultation and estimate.
