Maintenance & Care

Maintaining the beauty and durability of your COREWOOD hardwood floors is essential for preserving their exquisite appearance and longevity. o help you keep your floors looking their best, we have outlined a step-by-step maintenance and care guide. By following these guidelines, you can ensure that your COREWOOD floors remain a stunning and enduring feature in your home.

REGULAR MAINTENANCE

Daily Cleaning

Sweep or Vacuum: Use a soft-bristle broom or a vacuum with a hardwood floor attachment to remove dirt and debris. Avoid vacuums with beater bars that can scratch the floor.

Weekly Cleaning

Dry Mop: Use a microfiber mop to pick up any fine dust particles that sweeping or vacuuming might have missed.

Monthly Cleaning

Damp Mop: Lightly dampen a microfiber mop with water or a pH-neutral hardwood floor cleaner. Avoid using excessive water, as it can damage the wood. Bona Hardwood Cleaners are recommended for our Fortis Floors and for our Oilio floors follow the Rubio cleaning system.

PREVENTIVE CARE

Protect from Furniture

Use Furniture Pads: Attach felt pads to the legs of furniture to prevent scratches.
Lift, Don't Drag: When moving furniture, lift it instead of dragging it across the floor.

Manage Foot Traffic

Use Rugs and Mats: Place rugs or mats at entryways to trap dirt and moisture. Use area rugs in high-traffic areas to protect the floor.
Remove Shoes: Encourage a no-shoes policy indoors to reduce dirt and wear.

Control Environment

Maintain Humidity Levels: Keep indoor humidity between 30-50% to prevent the wood from expanding or contracting.
Avoid Direct Sunlight: Use curtains or blinds to protect the floor from prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, which can cause fading.
