Hardwood Care & Maintenance
Protect the natural beauty of your Hardwood flooring
A few simple maintenance steps will help protect your investment and keep your Hardwood flooring looking like new.
For cleaning, make sure you…
• Use a damp cloth to blot spills and spots as soon as they happen. For tough spots, such as oil, paint, markers, lipstick, ink, tar, or cigarette marks, use acetone/nail polish remover on a clean white cloth, then wipe with a damp cloth. Always avoid allowing liquids to stand on your floor.
• Sweep, dust, or vacuum the floor regularly with the hard floor attachment (not the beater bar) to prevent accumulation of dirt or grit that can scratch or dull the floor finish.
• Occasionally wipe the floor with a damp mop or cloth. Periodically clean the floor with R2X Hard Surfaces Flooring Cleaner from Shaw’s line of floor covering care products.
While cleaning is easy, there are a few things to avoid:
• Don’t use oil based, wax, polish, or strong ammoniated or abrasive cleaners. » Read more: Hardwood Care & Maintenance what and how
