Wood Care

Chair rollers may cause premature wear of the finish. A proper floor mat should be used.
Wood flooring must be protected from exposure to extreme heat, cold or humid conditions including flooding or subterranean conditions.
Caring for your floor will maintain its beauty.
Sweep or vacuum often and use a wood floor cleaner recommended by the manufacturer.

Clean up all spills as soon as possible
Never mop with water. It can permanently damage your flooring. Use a recommended cleaner, WATER AND WOOD NEVER MIX.
For preventative maintenance, use area rugs or mats at all entries to prevent dirt and moisture from being tracked onto the floor. Area rugs should have a backing that will not cause discoloration of the wood. Do not use rugs with solid rubber, vinyl or rough backing.
Use floor protector pads under furniture to prevent denting: felt pads are best.
Use caution when moving heavy objects across the floor. Do not drag as this can cause damage to the floor.
Pet nails or other sharp items can scratch the finish of your floor.
Wood is greatly influenced by the environmental conditions of your home. Temperature and humidity must be controlled. Recommended is relative humidity level between 45% and 65% throughout the year to minimize the natural expansion and contraction of your floor.
