Basic Wood Floor Maintenance

A Basic Guide

We recognise that timber floors may be the single largest investment in your home and it is Polycare’s goal to help you protect that investment. Below are simple steps that can be taken to maintain the beauty and lustre of your new sealed/polished hardwood floor finish.

Daily Dusting

Use an electrostatic Dust Mop daily. This keeps  the dust, sand and grit off the floor finish, that will  cause premature wearing.

General Cleaning

Wipe up food and wet spills immediately using a damp, (not wet) cloth or pad.

Regular cleaning should be done with Polycare Spray Mop and floor cleaner.

Preventative Maintenance

Preventative maintenance is the most important factor in prolonging the life of the floor finish:

  1. Place walk off mats at all entry/exits and at kitchen sink areas to reduce trapping dirt into the floor and excessive wear at high traffic areas.
  2. Fit felt Safeglides under all chair legs and tables and furniture that could scratch the floor finish.
  3. Be careful with soft rubber street shoes as they can  permanently scuff and mark easily.
  4. Remove black marks immediately
  5. Trim pet claws
  6. Keep high heel shoes in good repair.
  7. Wipe up all water spills immediately.
