3 Tips for Caring for Hardwood Floors

Hardwood flooring is unique because it can't be mopped with water like most other floors can. So if you've recently invested in new hardwood floors, you might be wondering how to clean them without ruining them. Let's go over three tips for caring for hardwood floors:

1. Anderson Floors, a manufacturer for JCB Interiors, recommends sweeping and vacuuming regularly. Doing so will help remove dirt that builds up over time. It's important to remove the grit as often as possible, because, otherwise, it could damage the surface of your hardwood floors.

2. Prevent scuffs and marks by placing floor protectors underneath your furniture, suggests Better Homes and Gardens. Doing so also makes rearranging any room much easier. You should also place area rugs over your hardwood floors in high-traffic areas to prevent scratches.

3. Control the relative humidity in your home. Aim to keep it somewhere between 35 percent and 55 percent. This is important because too much moisture can warp and damage your beautiful hardwood floors.
