5 Smart Tips to Maintain Your Wood Floors

Do you have wood floors at home? This type of flooring is very popular among home owners, because it is easy to clean, looks great and create a cosy and warm domestic environment. However, if you want to save the appearance and prolong the life of your wood floors, you should learn the best cleaning tricks, methods and techniques, for the job.

If you ask some of the cleaners in London, which are the most asked questions, they have ever had to answer in their practice, “How to maintain my wood floors?” definitely will be in the top 3 of this chart. So, here are 5 smart cleaning tips to help you prevent any damages on your gorgeous wood floors. 
1. If you spill water onto your wood floors, you should clean the area immediately. Water can cause white spots, which will ruin the whole appearance of the wood. In this case, you should treat the affected area with a little bit of some mineral spirit. Rub the spot gently, in a circular motion.

2. To remove food stains from wood floors, use a damp cloth. Then, rub dry with a clean cloth and wax the area. 

3. You should mop your wood floors, at least twice a week. For the job, use special detergent, made for the exact type of wood, your floors are made of. 

4. To prevent scratches on your wood floors, place pad or glides on the bottom of furniture legs. This way, when you have to remove your sofa, for instance, you will not scratch the floors. 

5. If you have pets, London cleaners advise to trim their nails regularly. This way, your beautiful cat will not be able to destroy the appearance of your wood floors.
