Cleaning your hardwood floors on a regular basis is very important.  Hardwood flooring is an expensive investment.  With proper maintenance you hardwoods will last a lifetime.

There is some simple preventative maintenance you can do to protect you floors. Put rugs at your entrances and area rugs in high traffic areas.  Make sure that you don’t get the foam and/or rubber backed type of mats. These types of rugs will stick to the floor over time causing trap moisture against the floor surface.  Make sure that you clean your floors regularly with a broom or vacuum that does not have beating bar.  Do not damp mop. Water and hardwood floors do not mix. Do not use oil based cleaning supplies. Oil based cleaning supplies may dull the finish on the floors.  If you purchased new floors from a company follow the recommended cleaning techniques.  With this simple maintenance you hardwood floors will last a lifetime.
