Prefinished Wood Floors

When you're looking to add hardwood floors to any home or redecorating project, prefinished floors are a great option. Already cut and treated, these supplies can save you and your contractor time, money, and headaches. However, once your floors are installed, they must be cared for in a certain way to ensure a lifetime of beauty.

First, always use protective foam or cloth pads underneath furniture legs to protect the surface of your floors. Second, make sure to keep rugs dry at all times to avoid water damage to your wood flooring (wood floors and water don't mix). Third, keep your pet's nails trimmed to avoid scratches on the floors as well. Fourth, it is important to clean your floors regularly. This means using the vacuum, dry mop, or broom to sweep the floor clean of dust, dirt, and debris.

Finally, caring for your prefinished hardwood floors will involve using particular cleaning products. Store bought cleaners that are not water or wax-based are the best idea. Avoid ammonia products and stick to those treatments made for wood floors. For example, maple floors don't call for a specific type of cleaner, but the labels on most products will let you know for which surfaces they are recommended.
