Care and maintenance of hardwood floors
DO'S:
- Use a damp cloth to blot spills and spots as soon as they happen.
- Sweep, dust or vacuum the floor regularly with the hard floor attachment.
- Occasionally wipe the floor with a damp mop or cloth.
- Periodically clean the floor with R2X Hard Surfaces Flooring Cleaner from Shaw.
- Use protective mats.

DONT'S:
- Don't use oil-based, wax, polish, or strong ammoniated or abrasive cleaners.
- Don't use steel wool or scouring powder.
