CARING FOR YOUR HOME

HARDWOOD FLOORS

If you have prefinished wood floors, do not use water to clean them. Many products are available at hardware stores and supermarkets which are designed to clean spots off your floor.

If you have prewaxed floors, several coats of paste wax applied during the first year will develop a rich patina as well as protect your floor.

Special products such as Dura-Luster cleaner are made to clean polyurethane-finished floors. Do not apply polyurethane over wax or use wax or oil-based soaps over polyurethane. It is particularly important to protect your floors from scratches by not tracking grit or stones on it and by using rubber or felt leg protectors on your furniture.

If you have hardwood floors we strongly recommend the use of a dehumidifier in your basement to reduce the possibility of warping.
