How to Care for Your Hardwood Floors

Hardwood floor maintenance directly impacts the lifespan and health of the floor. Avoid these common mistakes and build a simple care routine.

By Noble Hardwoods

01

Do not use vinegar or ammonia

Vinegar and harsh cleaners can eat away at a hardwood floor finish. Use products made for finished wood floors and apply liquid sparingly.

02

Do not let moisture sit

Water, wet towels, steam mops, and heavy moisture can damage wood flooring. Clean spills quickly and use entry mats to reduce tracked-in moisture.

03

Protect the floor from grit and scratches

Crumbs, dirt, and debris can act like sandpaper underfoot. Regular sweeping, felt pads, floor mats, and trimmed pet nails help protect the finish.
