Daily Care & Maintenance

Once you establish a routine, you'll find caring for your hardwood flooring is easy!

Sweep your hardwood floors several times a week, how often will depend on how much foot traffic the room receives. You can also dry mop your hardwood floors.

Regular Hardwood Care

Dealing With Spills & Stains

No matter how careful you are, spills are inevitable. Reacting quickly can prevent your spill from staining your hardwood.

For liquid spills, immediately wipe the area dry with a clean cloth to soak up all the liquid. For dry spills, sweep the area. You can use a damp cloth to wipe up any residue. Be careful not to let liquids pool, which can warp or bow your floors.

If a stain persists, use a manufacturer-recommended product on the area.
