Caring For Floors
* Sweep, vacuum or dust mop at least
weekly. Dirt, grit and sand can scratch,
dent and dull hardwood floors. When
sweeping use a fine bristle broom. When
using a vacuum use a brush attachment.
* Damp mop weekly with white vinegar
and warm water. To clean hardwood or
laminated floors mix ½ cup distilled white
vinegar in a gallon of water. Dampen a
towel or a mop in the mixture and wring
out all the excess moisture. No need to
rinse. Dry the floor if necessary.

* Never use sheet vinyl or tile floor care products on wood floors. Self-polishing acrylic waxes cause wood to become slippery and
appear dull quickly. The only remedy in this situation is to sand and refinish the floor. Don’t use any of the following products (or
similar in nature ) on your floors: ammonia, Fantastik, Formula 409, dishwashing detergent, powdered all-purpose cleaner, Endust,
Pledge, Mop ‘n Glo, Murhpy’s Oil Soap or other polishes.

* Never Wax a Urethane Floor! If your hardwood floor has a polyurethane finish,
never use a paste wax on the floor's surface. A paste wax may form a sticky film
on your floor and allow tracked in dirt to stick to your wood finish. Polyurethane
finishes will not adhere to any wax and adding a fresh coat of polyurethane to your
floor will be very difficult.
* When the floor loses its shine/luster, it's time to recoat. Screening (light sanding
is required), applying a compatible finish of the desired luster shine level you
prefer. High gloss will show wear area faster, as satin tends to give a waxed look
* Laminated Floor Caution: The manufacturers of some laminated wood floors now
recommend cleaning them with ammonia. We prefer only vinegar and water as
ammonia is used to strip the wax off floors. It may do the same to the sealant on
most laminated floors.
