- Wood is a natural material that swells when it absorbs water and shrinks when it dries.
Wipe spills immediately with a damp cloth or rag.
- Keep a doormat inside and outside entrances.
- Try to keep shoes and high heels off the hardwood floors.
- To prevent scratches on floors, furniture should be moved by lifting, not dragging and felt pads
should be place under furniture legs.
- For hardwood floors in the kitchen, place mats in front of the sink.
- Direct sunlight can cause discoloration over time. Close curtains and blinds or add sheer drapes
to protect a hardwood floor from intense UV rays.
