Hardwood floors are a beautiful addition to any household. They add warmth and luxury, and they are very durable. Learning how to clean your hardwood floors and preserve them from damage is indispensable for protecting and maintaining them for a long time.

Dust Your Hardwood Floors Thoroughly
The initial step to clean hardwood floors is dusting. You can use multiple dusting methods to clear your wooden floors of debris such as microfiber cloths, a dustpan and brush, or a hoover with a soft brush attachment.

Mop Your Floor Using small amount of Water
Moping your floors is important. However, it is crucial to remember that water is wood’s worst enemy, so you must use a damp mop rather than a soaking wet one.
Simply dip your mop into a bucket of water, wring out entirely and mop in the direction of the wood grain. Repeat this procedure until the water in your bucket is dirty. Then empty the bucket, mix a batch of cleaning solution suitable for your wooden floor and continue moping. Once you’ve used the cleaning solution, go back over your floors with clean water on a damp mop to rinse the floor.
Polish Your Floors At least Once a Month
Polishing your hardwood floors once a month not only keeps them looking great, but it fills in all those little scratches that have built up over the floor surface over time. Polishing your wooden floors is not a difficult task and can be done easily and with minimal effort.
Once a Year, Consider a Deep Clean!
With all the abuse our hardwood floors take over the years, it is smart to consider to give your floor a thorough deep clean or a sand and refinish every couple of years. Sanding and refinishing your floors, repairs all the damage that has been done over time and leaves you with spotless clean hardwood flooring you can be proud of!
Clean Your Wooden Floors Frequently
To make cleaning your hardwood floors easier, it is important to add cleaning your wooden floors into your weekly routine. It is especially important to clean your wooden floors regularly in high-traffic areas, such as the living room and kitchen, where you should sweep daily and mop once or twice a week.
