WILL YOUR HARDWOOD FLOORS “LAST A LIFETIME”?

Whether you just bought a lovely Clapham Area attic with classic hardwood floors, or you are doing a major renovation job -- ripping out carpets and placing in new hardwood floors -- you would like to enjoy longevity, ease of use, and minimal maintenance costs. Below are a few pointers to help keep your hardwood flooring beautiful, damage-and-debris-free, and easy to maintain.

Don't let water or other spills to linger! So that your toddler spilled the puppy's water bowl. Or a guest dropped a glass of chardonnay while laughing at one of your particularly amusing anecdotes. Or a worker tracked wet mud in your room. Life happens. But if you do not wipe these clogs up, mold and other problems may develop and create not just aesthetic harm but also rotting hazards, warping, and other structural issues.

90% of success is avoidance . Protect thy flooring! Place felt or old carpet pads beneath the legs of tables and chairs and other furniture. Put mats around entrances. Vacuum and wash your floors regularly. Hire a professional hardwood floor cleaner to come in on a fairly regular basis, particularly if your floor gets lots of use and abuse.

Consider the prices that you will save. First off, if your flooring remain in great shape, the value of your home or construction receives the benefit. Second, the price of fixing a warped, dilapidated, mildewy, or otherwise corroded floor could be exorbitant -- much more than the cost of even rigorous, outsourced cleaning help. It is sort of like insurance. A single"poor" accident or health event can wipe you out. That's why we get insurance! Likewise, good care acts like insurance both to your floor and your pocketbook.

Utilize a diversity of cleaning tools. Try soft brushes, vacuums with bare floor attachments, dust mops, damp mops (only for suitably sealed floors) and cleaning products that meet the needs and needs of the project. Prevent using urethane, harsh cleaners that leave residue and films, and cleaners that contain ammonia or oil soap.

Be cautious that there are various levels of"clean". Just because your hardwood floors appear fine after a light dusting or cleaning doesn't mean that they actually ARE getting the deep cleaning that they really need. It is like your teeth. You may brush your teeth. Your smile may appear great. But you may have cavities or problems with your gums or anything. To eliminate those difficulties, you need professional assistance.
