How To Keep Hardwood Floors Clean
Whether you discovered hardwood flooring under the carpeting in your recently-purchased home or you installed hardwood flooring yourself, you’re going to want to take good care of it with hardwood floor cleaners. Here’s what we recommend.
Start With a Shoes-Off Policy
Wood floors get scratched when they come in contact with the stuff stuck to your footwear, so tread lightly in your stocking feet or slippers as often as you can. If you want guests to remove their shoes, make it obvious by having a shoe storage solution, such as a basket or tray, and shareable slippers in the entryway.
Quick Daily Cleanings
Want a clean floor on the daily, but struggle to find the time? Try this quick workaround: Turn on a favorite song, squirt some of your chosen spray-and-mop product on the floor and the drop a couple of rags down, too. Now, step on the rags and start shuffling. You won’t make it into every corner, but the main drag will be clean by song’s end.
Hardwood Floor Cleaning Tools
Break out the mops and brooms regularly to remove sand and any other sharp debris that can scratch your floor. When it comes to choosing the right ones, you can’t go too far wrong with any product specifically designed for use on wood floors. To help: Here are our recommendations for vacuums and robot vacuums.
