If you’re going to invest in solid wood flooring then you will soon see the way that it can transform your home. Wooden floors have a timeless beauty and the durability to last for many years to come, but they require a slightly different cleaning routine to the one you may have been used to.

The truth is that wooden floors are relatively low maintenance, but just to get you started we’ve put together a few tips on how to make sure your flooring looks its best for as long as possible.

Dust

Gone are the days when you will have to drag a heavy vacuum cleaner around your floor. Now all you need is a quick once over with a duster or a slightly damp mop to pick up any dirt or debris that could mark the flooring. It’s also possible to buy specially designed polishes that you can use to help protect the surface of your floors.

Humidity

Too much moisture can be bad for your flooring, because the wood can swell and warp if it is exposed to water. If you’re concerned about the humidity levels in your home, make sure you have adequate ventilation and consider investing in an electric or refillable dehumidifier to reduce moisture.

Stains

If something is spilt on your wooden floor it’s important to clean it up as quickly as possible – without using too much water - to avoid the risk of stains. If the worst happens then don’t panic, it is possible to have your flooring sanded back and re-lacquered to bring it back to its unblemished best.
