Caring For Your Wood Floor

Properly finished wood is the easiest of all floor surfaces to keep clean and looking like new, year after year, with only minimal care.outdoor wood boards
How minimal? Vacuum and/or dust mop weekly or more often if merited. Vacuuming is the best way to remove surface dust and dirt before it gets walked into the finish and dulls its luster. Vacuuming also pulls accumulated dust from the grooves of factory finished and plank floors. Some wood floor care guidelines will depend on the type of floor finish. However, there are a number of preventive maintenance tips that are the first steps in caring for your wood floors, regardless of the finish type. First and foremost, wood and water don't mix. No matter what finish your wood floor has, never pour water on your floor. While a slightly dampened mop may be used on polyurethane and other surface finishes in good condition, even small amounts of water can cause the deterioration of finishes and warp the underlying wood. Also, when using any maintenance product, please read the label. Always follow label directions for maintenance products, except for directions which call for using water on wood.
Site-applied surface finishes include polyurethane, Swedish finish, moisture-cure urethane, and water-based urethanes. These are all blends of synthetic resins, plasticizers, and other film-forming ingredients which remain on and protect the surface of the wood. All are durable, moisture-resistant fi nishes. These finishes are generally available in high-gloss, semi-gloss, satin and matte. Any one of the above surface finishes is a good choice. They are recommended for kitchen floors or similar areas where there is exposure to water splashing or spills. (NOTE: Even if your floor has a surface finish, penetrating sealers may have been used as an undercoat.) Most manufacturers of surface finishes do not recommend waxing because wax can make surface-finished floors too slippery. Once a surface-finished floor is waxed, it can be maintained by occasional waxing, but be advised that once waxed, a surface finished floor cannot be re-coated to rejuvenate it; it will need to be completely sanded down to the raw wood to restore the finish.
