Learn The Secrets To Good Hard Wood Floor Care From A Fargo ND Cleaning Service

By Roxie Ocegueda


Nothing beats the beauty of hardwood floors. Proper maintenance is the key to longevity. With these floor care tips from a professional Fargo ND cleaning service, you can help preserve the look of your floors and ensure they last for many decades to come.

Watch out for moisture- high humidity and a lot of moisture can lead to troubles with hardwood floors since the wood can absorb this moisture which can lead to warping and other problems.

Temperature can also affect wood floors as extreme cold can cause the boards to swell and extreme heat can make the wood more brittle and rough as it dries out.

Limit your floor's exposure to water when you clean. Avoid using a mop and bucket when cleaning hardwood flooring. Instead you can use a damp cloth to wipe the surface and remove any dirt, dust, and other debris.

Consider putting doormats at every entry. These practical and affordable items will trap most of the dust and dirt entering your home on shoe soles. Less dirt means less time needed to clean.

In high-traffic areas of the home such as hallways and living rooms and even in the bedroom, an area rug can really help reduce wear and tear- just make sure the rugs are slip resistant for safety!

Protect the wood by placing mats or sliders underneath furniture legs. This will keep the legs from gouging your floor. To prevent scratching the wood, never drag furniture across the surface of the floor.

Mind the shoes that come into your home! Today it is not considered rude to ask visitors to remove their shoes when they enter your home. This can limit the amount of dirt tracked in and also reduces wear and tear.
