What condition is your floor in? What type of finish does your floor have? When your hard wood floor needs extra care. Damp mopping. Maintenance coat. Removing stains in waxed floors. Removing stains and repairing surface finishes. Squeaks. How to Care for Solid Hardwood Floors! Living with atural Hardwood Floors Solid hardwood floors repay a little care with a lifetime of value. When you first glimpse a solid hardwood floor, you sense richness, warmth and natural beauty. Gradually, you get to know its distinct personality -- visual harmonies, the traces of history in the forest and in your home. Take a closer look. Appreciate the color and pattern of the floor's strips, planks or parquetry. Read the grain: Is it bold-textured oak? Subdued maple or cherry? Check the condition of the underlying wood and the finish that protects it. Are there signs of neglect to erase (it's not difficult), or do you see a well-tended surface that needs just a light touch to maintain it? ature's diversity lets you create dramatic looks with unique textures, colors, patterns and styles of solid hardwood flooring. Protect Your Solid Investment Solid hardwood floors are among the easiest to keep clean. Protect their warmth and character with simple, everyday cleaning techniques. It's important to know how to prevent damage to your solid hardwood floors.
2 2 of 6 3/18/2011 1:46 PM PREVE TIO DIRT and GRIT WATER A D OTHER SPILLS HARD CLEA ERS Dirt, grit and sand are your hardwood floors worst enemies. They act like sandpaper on the finish, causing scratches, dents and dulling. Place floor mats at entrances to trap dirt and prevent damage. Standing water can warp a poorly finished hardwood floor and can damage the finish. Simply wipe up all spills as they happen. Avoid oil soaps. They can build up and create problems when it's time to put a maintenance coat on the floor. Instead, neutral ph cleaners made specifically for wood floors are recommended. FUR ITURE DE TS SU Lift the furniture to move it --- avoid dragging. Felt contacts under the legs will help prevent scratches. Vacuum with a brush attachment -- don't use vacuums with beater bars. REGULAR CARE Direct sun can discolor your hardwood floor. Close curtains and blinds or add sheer drapes to protect from the sun's intense UV rays. SWEEP VACUUM DUST MOP Brooms with fine, exploded ends trap dust and grit effectively. Canister vacuums with special bare floor attachments are the surest way to get rid of all the dirt and dust. Use a good dust mop --- one with a 12- to 18- inch cotton head ---- and a special dust mop treatment. Spray the treatment onto the mop head 12 to 24 hours before dust mopping. Oak and maple are the most popular hardwoods used in flooring. Ask, beech, birch, cherry, hickory and walnut are other favorites for floors and decorative accents. Does Your ew Hardwood Floor Look Old? Perhaps your hardwood floors were installed just a few years ago, but you haven't taken care of them and now they look old. What can you do? Before you do anything, check the condition of the finish and the wood to see whether they need special cleaning or more involved repair. What condition is your floor in? Follow these steps to evaluate the condition of your hardwood floor and its finish. Finish Condition Has the finish been worn off or is it just dirty? See if the finish is dull, chipped, scraped or gouged. To test if the finish has worn off, begin
3 3 of 6 3/18/2011 1:46 PM in a high-traffic area and pour one to two tablespoons of water onto the floor. If the water soaks in immediately and leaves a darkened spot, the finish is worn and water can damage the wood. If the water soaks in after a few minutes and darkens the wood only slightly, the finish is partially worn. If the water beads on top, the surface is properly sealed. Repeat this test in low- and medium-traffic areas. Wood Condition It the finish is worn, the wood may have been damaged. Are there stains, burns, cuts, gouges, holes, cracks or warped boards? If the wood is damaged, repair or replacement may be required before you deep clean your floor or apply a maintenance coat. What type of finish does your floor have? The same care and maintenance techniques are used for all finishes in good condition, but when it comes to removing stains or restoring the finish, methods differ. If you don't know what kind of finish your floor has, ask your contractor or Realtor, or try these simple tests. Surface Finishes: (pre-finished floors, polyurethane, water-based urethane and catalyzed) early all floors installed today have surface finishes, mostly polyurethane. They are often glossy and may look like a layer of clear plastic on top of the wood. A small amount of paint remover in an inconspicuous area of the floor will cause the surface finish to bubble (unless it is a water-based urethane, in which case there will be no reaction). Surface finishes shield floors from harm by forming a protective layer on top of the wood. Penetrating Seals: (acrylics, oils and waxes) Oils and waxes usually have a satin or matte finish. If you can feel the wood grain when you run your hand across the surface, it's most likely a penetrating seal. Paint remover will have no effect on a penetrating seal, but wax stripper or ammonia will soften and whiten the surface. Oils and waxes penetrate the surface of the floor protecting the wood from within. When Your Hardwood Floor eeds Extra Care Your hardwood floor will eventually need extra care. It's here that much controversy exists. DAMP MOPPI G Some professionals recommend that you damp mop your hardwood floor and others cringe at the suggestion. Just remember, if your floor's finish is in good shape and mopping is done correctly, the water won't penetrate even the oil and wax finishes. You're cleaning the finish, not the wood, so don't use water if the finish is in poor shape.
4 4 of 6 3/18/2011 1:46 PM Damp Mopping is the fastest and best way to deep-clean solid hardwood floors. Depending on how much use your floor gets, you may have to mop it as often as once a week. Use a neutral ph wood cleaner and water, or manufacturer-recommended products. Wet the mop and wring so it's about half-dry. Wet the floor with the mop. Dip the mop into clean water, wring it as dry as you can and mop over the floor again. HEAVY-DUTY MOPPI G If floors are property sealed, the little extra water and cleaner required will not injure your hardwood floor, but use common sense. Vinegar -- often prescribed to clean hardwood floors -- does nothing for removing grease and soil. MAI TE A CE COAT If you can't restore your solid hardwood floor's luster with deep cleaning or by simply buffing, you may want to apply a maintenance coat. Waxing is an easy way to restore your hardwood floor's natural beauty. Though a controversial treatment for surface finishes, floor polish or wax can give you a good-looking floor in a matter of minutes. If you don't want to apply a wax to your surface finish, consult a professional. Pros: Wax can be easily cleaned, buffed and rewaxed to make it look like its original condition. Wear and tear will be on the wax, not the finish. It is easily stripped and reapplied. Cons: Waxing may limit some refinishing and re-coating options down the road. If not properly stripped, the wax can cause adhesion problems when re-coating the surface. Only wax a surface finish if the original finish is in poor shape and you don't plan to refinish your floor in the near future. REMOVI G STAI S I WAXED FLOORS o matter how careful you are a stain can still occur. Water Stains Rub the spot with o. 2 steel wood and rewax. For more serious water stains, lightly sand with fine sandpaper, clean the spot with o. 1 or 00 steel wool and mineral spirits or floor cleaner then refinish and wax. Cigarette Burns If not severe, the burn can be removed by rubbing with steel wool moistened with soap and water.
5 5 of 6 3/18/2011 1:46 PM Heel and Caster Marks Rub vigorously with fine steel wool and floor cleaner. Wipe dry and polish. Ink Stains and Other Dark Spots Use o. 2 steel wool and floor cleaner to clean the spot and surrounding area. Thoroughly wash the affected area. If the spot remains, sand with fine sandpaper, re-wax and polish. Stubborn stains may require that you replace the affected area. Chewing Gum and Wax Deposits Ice until the deposit is brittle and crumbles off. Pour floor cleaner around the stain so the fluid soaks under and loosens it. Alcohol Spots Rub the spot with liquid or paste wax. Repairing Wax Finishes Rub fine steel wood in a puddle of reconditioner or paint thinner and clean as you go. Apply wax and buff. Always start cleaning at the edge of a stain and work toward the center so it won't spread. Removing stains and repairing surface finishes Use steel wood or sand paper to remove one or two complete layers of finish along the entire length of the board where damage has occurred. Remove all dust. Apply the same type of finish that was removed, being careful not to build additional layers on top of adjoining boards. Squeaks When the air in your home becomes extremely dry, your floor will lose moisture and contract. Conversely, when humidity is high, your floor will absorb moisture and expand slightly. As humidity stabilizes, hardwoods regain their original dimensions. Air conditioning in summer and humidifying in winter will keep your home's humidity comfortable for you and your floor. Prolonged cycles of shrinking and swelling of your hardwood floor may result in squeaks. They can be easily corrected. Silencing Squeaks
6 6 of 6 3/18/2011 1:46 PM Apply liquid wax, powdered soap, talcum powder or powdered graphite between floor boards that are rubbing together. If that doesn't stop the squeak, drive two-inch finishing nails through pilot holes on both edges of the board then hide the hole with matching color putty or wax. If you need to refinish or replace your hardwood floor, consult a professional for best results. Information furnished by: Hardwood Manufacturers Association 800/373-WOOD
