Hardwood Floor Maintenance Explained
Hardwood flooring has been one of the most-popular floor coverings for many years. Cared for properly (in other words, proper maintenance cleaning) and these floors can last a very, very long time. In order to ensure their long life, consistent cleaning and periodic professional care are needed.
Wood floors, both solid and engineered, should be maintained in a similar way:
- Sweep & Vacuum. A lot. – Here in Wisconsin, people track in all manner of outdoor contaminants, including dirt, gravel, and salt. This stuff acts like sandpaper on your floor, grinding down your finish. Vacuum well and often, preferably using a canister vac with a very soft bristle wand head.
- Recoat Your Floors Regularly – Wood floors don’t wear evenly and there is not a brand of finish on the market today that will last for 10 years unless you periodically refresh it. Wear first appears in small areas near exterior doors and heavily-used areas like in front of the refrigerator, sometimes within just a couple years after installation. The ‘driftwood look’ in those small areas cannot be spot-fixed. Once the wear appears, you’re looking at sanding all adjoining rooms. Badger Carpet & Floor Care can recoat your wood floors in 1 day! Check out our What is a Screen & Recoat Anyway page that is dedicated to the preservation of your wood floors.
- Ditch the Steam Mop – Never, ever steam clean a wood or laminate floor. Wood can react wildly to extreme changes in temperature and moisture. It can be difficult enough keeping the ambient conditions of your home stable – do not amplify these changes with steam!
- Dump the Polishes – Many of the most-purchased floor cleaners on the market today contain polishes, finishes, or urethanes. DO NOT USE THEM! Murphy’s Oil Soap, Rejuvenate, Mop & Glo, Bona Floor Polish, Orange Glo, Weiman Restorer, Quick Shine…the list is seemingly endless. The same goes for wax – never wax a polyurethaned floor. These products add unwanted topicals to your floor which make them look great in the short term, but will cause problems down the road. ONLY USE neutral floor cleaners when performing maintenance cleaning on your floors.
- Use Rugs Cautiously – Rugs can grab dirty before it gets brought into a house or business and lessen the wear on heavily-trafficked areas. But they can also create unwanted effects. Sun fading is an issue with floors of all types, and hardwood is no exception. Adding rugs creates uneven fading which can be problematic if you move furniture around. Also, be sure to only use rugs with soft backings. Rubber and course jute backings will cause discoloration and premature wear (scratching) to the wood floor under them.
- Furniture Leg Protectors – Place floor protectors under all furniture that moves (especially beds) and replace them regularly. Loosely-woven pads absorb pieces of grit and are much less likely to scratch through dragging than hard or dense protectors.
When Should I Call the Professionals?
No matter how much vacuuming and scrubbing you do, the years of buildup on wood floors are nearly impossible to COMPLETELY remove without professional equipment. It’s not much different than dental care: you can regularly brush, floss, and gargle on your own, but your efforts can never really replicate the cleaning performed by a professional hygienist at the dentist office.
We encourage homeowners and business owners to continue their maintenance regimen, but then periodically have floors professionally cleaned in between Screen & Recoats. Are there kids and dogs in the house? Are people walking around with bare feet or outdoors shoes? Do people visit your business establishment? Then have your wood floors professionally cleaned each and every year and Screened & Recoated every 3-4 years. For all others, every 2-3 years should be sufficient for cleaning and Screened & Recoated every 5-7 years.
