While wood flooring is very resilient, there are certain things that can damage your flooring and result in unnecessary, costly repairs.
To ensure your wood flooring stays looking sleek and beautiful for years to come, keep reading for the 5 things you should never do to your home’s wood flooring.
While wood flooring is the ideal flooring for a house with pets as it can be easily cleaned and doesn’t cling to the dust and hair as a carpet would, it is important to ensure that your pets’ nails are regularly cut to prevent any scratches or damage to your wood flooring.
When your furry friends are dashing around after their toys, their nails can easily scratch the wood flooring and damage it. It is a good idea to trim their nails often – your floor (and your pets) will appreciate it!
Placing hot items on the floor can damage your wood flooring, burn it and potentially even start a fire. This is a general rule that applies to most flooring but you should never place candles, straighteners or any other flammable item directly onto your wood flooring.
Always keep items that produce a lot of heat off of your wood flooring.
Moving your furniture around can result in scratches on your wood flooring. By investing in furniture pads for chairs and table legs, you can keep your wood flooring protected from any scuffing, scratches or potential damage.
While it is important to clean your wood flooring regularly, make sure you only use solutions designed specifically for wood flooring. Using harsh cleaning soaps and chemicals can create moisture damage which can tarnish and ruin your wood flooring.
Using a steamer on your wood flooring can cause water damage and warp your hardwood floor. Instead, dust your wood flooring frequently and only a slightly damp mop or cloth with specially designed wood flooring solutions when necessary.
