A wood floor's worst enemies |
|
Water
Never use
a soaking mop to wash a wood floor. In any case,
never use water because water deteriorates the wood
and the finish. Wood expands when it absorbs water.
An excessive amount of water can infiltrate planks
and scratches causing the finish to deteriorate
thus provoking discolouration of the planks.

Vinegar
Cleaning
methods used by consumers reduce the life of wood
floors. In fact, many people clean their wood floors
with water and vinegar. These elements prematurely
alter the luster of the finish and cause the appearance
of black stains on the planks because water can
infiltrate planks and blacken the wood. Vinegar
is an oxidant and alters the varnish. The only way
to remedy these alterations is to sand the floor
and varnish it again.

Sand and dust
Sweeping
the floor and vacuuming regularly avoids the accumulation
of abrasive sand or dust that scratches the finished
surface. |

Wax and all-purpose cleaners
Never use wax, oil-based soaps and
other oily, all-purpose cleaning products. The all-purpose
cleaners on the market contain detergents and leave
an oily or soapy film on the floor. This gives dirt
a grip. What's more, when sanding becomes necessary,
this accumulated coating of residue makes the sanding
operation more difficult. |
