The wooden floor gives the interior a pleasant and natural atmosphere. However, if we want the floor to serve us for many years and still look beautiful, it requires regular care and cleaning. Proper cleaning of a wooden floor is important for maintaining its beauty, durability and longevity. In this article, you will learn about proven tips and tricks for cleaning wooden floors.
Regular maintenance
The first step to preserving the beauty of a wooden floor is regular maintenance. Daily removal of dust and dirt is recommended, as grinding dust particles can damage the surface. Use a soft brush or mop with a soft microfiber cloth that gently picks up dust.
Avoid water penetration
Water is the main enemy of wooden floors, so it is important to prevent its penetration. When cleaning, use a slightly damp cloth or mop, but avoid soaking the wooden floor in water. Quickly wipe up any accidental spills and don't forget to wear shoes when walking into the house in the rain or with sloppy shoes.
Use gentle cleaners
To clean the wooden floor, use special cleaners intended for this purpose. Avoid using aggressive chemical cleaners that can damage the floor surface. Choose natural and gentle cleaners that do not contain strong chemicals.
More demanding stains
If more difficult stains appear on the wooden floor, such as a removable pencil or a log that cannot be removed properly, use a soft cloth soaked in a mixture of water and mild soap or baby shampoo. Thoroughly wipe the contaminated area and the surrounding area, avoiding rubbing and excessive soaking of the wood.
Regular treatment of the surface
In order for your wooden floor to last a long time and not lose its beauty, regularly apply a protective surface coating, such as varnish or oil. These coatings help protect the wood from wear, scratches and prevent the penetration of dirt.
Protection under furniture
Use mats or rugs under the furniture to minimize the wear and tear on the floor that could occur when the furniture is moved.
