Having installed my new lacquered hardwood floor what is required to maintenance it?
Floors should be protected from the abrasive particles and moisture that can be walked into the buildings on outdoor shoes, by using good quality internal and external entrance matting an all entrances to the property. A castor cup with a felt placed under each wheel on items of furniture. Self adhesive felt pads placed on the feet of chairs and other furniture. High heels (esp. stiletto heels) are to be avoided on wood floors as these can cause compression marks in finishes and the wood itself. Day to day maintenance of lacquered floors is simply sweeping or vacuuming. Less frequently floors may be cleaned with a flat head mop which has been dampened with a solution of Bona Parkett Cleaner and water. The mop head should be just damp to the touch, not wet. When cleaning, residues of moisture on the floor surface should evaporate within a few minutes of cleaning. Periodically treat with Bona Parkett Polish or Bona ‘Freshen Up’ which will improve the appearance of dull floors and provide additional protection.Visit the Wood & Floors.com website for more information on Having installed my new lacquered hardwood floor what is required to maintenance it?
