General Care and Maintenance of your wood flooring

• Never slide furniture across your hardwood floors. Put felt pads under the legs of furniture.
  
  
• Never steam clean or wet pop your hardwood floors.
  
  
• Don’t use waxes, oils, or any cleaners that make the floor shiny or ‘rejuvenated’. This includes products such as Murphy’s Oil or Orange Glo.
  
  
• Don’t use bleach, ammonia, or scratchy pads on your hardwood floors.
  
  
• Do use Woodwise hardwood floor cleaner or Bona hardwood floor cleaner.
  
  
• Clean spills immediately. Monitor dog bowls, underneath plants and at entryways.
  
  
• If your floors were refinished, please wait 2 weeks to place rugs including doormats.
  
  
• Wood flooring is a natural product that responds to humidity variations. A humidifier is recommended to help minimize the contraction of the wood, which can happen during the dry Iowa winters. Keep your environment between 60 – 80 degrees and 30-50% humidity. Fluctuations outside these can result in cupping or gaps in your floor.
