For those householders who have had wooden flooring installed in one or a variety of different rooms in their property, maintaining them will require a bit of careful thought and planning.

The best way to work out which floor cleaner and maintenance products to use on a floor is to check first with the literature passed on by the manufacturer or installer.

If you have had hardwood flooring fitted in various different rooms in your home, it’s possible that each one could have a different type of finish, meaning that your approach to caring for it may also differ from the others.

This is why it is necessary to read up about the floors you’ve had installed to ensure you know the proper floor care product to use on them.

Generally speaking, you can get a good idea of what type of cleaner to use on a floor by knowing whether the surface has been treated with an oil, wax or water-based lacquer finish. Once you have determined this you will be able to work out the kind of cleaner that would be most suited to the floor in question.
