How to Clean Hardwood floors

The most important thing with hardwood floors, as with any type of floors, is the regular cleaning. Hardwood floors are quite sensitive and apprehensive towards abrasives, it is vital to keep the surface clean of anything that could scratch it such as debris and grit, and also make sure furniture is not constantly moved around without protection for the floor.

Hardwood floors absorb liquids very fast especially when not covered with protective coating. Any spilled liquids must be removed immediately with a dry cloth to prevent a permanent damage. If cleaning with water is necessary, make sure to use the smallest amount possible and always finish the cleaning of the floor with a dry cloth.

Vacuum or sweep the hardwood floors at least once a week and mop thoroughly with a damp (not wet) mop or with a damp cloth, drying the surface afterwards.
