1. Regular Cleaning The key to maintaining beautiful hardwood floors is regular cleaning. To prevent dirt, dust, and debris from damaging your floors, sweep or vacuum them at least once a week. Be sure to use a vacuum with a hardwood floor attachment to avoid scratching the surface. You can also use a damp mop with a hardwood floor cleaner for deeper cleaning.

2. Protecting Your Floors To prevent scratches, dents, and other damage, place felt pads under furniture legs and use area rugs in high-traffic areas. Avoid wearing high heels or shoes with cleats indoors, as they can leave marks on your floors. Be mindful of spills and clean them up immediately to prevent staining.

3. Avoid Water Damage Excess moisture can warp and damage hardwood floors, so be sure to clean up spills promptly and avoid using excessive water when mopping. Use a damp mop, not a wet one, and dry your floors thoroughly afterwards. Consider using a humidifier in the winter to prevent your floors from drying out.

4. Refinishing and Recoating Over time, hardwood floors may show signs of wear and tear, such as scratches, dents, or dullness. When this happens, it’s time to refinish or recoat your floors.
