If you have made the decision to get solid wood flooring, then you will have wooden floors for a life time. In order to make sure they always remain in great condition, find out about the best maintenance tips for looking after solid wood and keeping it looking brand new. The unique textures, colours and patterns will remain as fresh as the day you fitted them. How To Care For Solid Wood Flooring One of the easiest and more inexpensive ways to prevent damage and staining of your solid wood flooring is to use floor mats at the entrances of the room. This can catch any immediate dirt and grime which gets brought in from outside. Loose dirt and grit can cause scratches in the planks and will dull the high quality finish of the wood. If you spill water or any other liquid on the floor, immediately clean it up with a soft cloth as there is no reason to wait and see what happens. Stains and naturally uneven tones in solid wood floors do not look good. When using cleaning solutions, choose ones specifically create for real wood floors and avoid oily or acidic cleaning agents. If you are transporting heavy goods or furniture across the floor, never drag it across. This will prevent more scratches, dents and dull wear and tear from being marked on the floor. Similarly when vacuuming the floor, make sure you use a brush attachment and not beater bars.
