Benefits of Hardwood Floor Services
Few features add warmth and character to a home quite like hardwood flooring.
Elegant, inviting, and timeless, hardwood makes a statement in any space. With a wide variety of natural wood options to choose from—ranging from richly grained, character-filled planks to smooth, uniform finishes—you’re sure to find a style that suits your home perfectly.
Plus, hardwood flooring isn’t just beautiful—it’s also known for its durability and long-lasting performance.
Care and Maintenance of Hardwood Floors
DO'S:
- Blot spills and spots immediately with a damp cloth.
- Sweep, dust, or vacuum regularly using a hard floor attachment.
- Occasionally clean with a lightly damp mop or cloth.
- Periodically use Shaw's R2X Hard Surface Flooring Cleaner for deeper cleaning.
- Place protective mats at entrances and high-traffic areas.
- Attach floor protectors to furniture legs to prevent scratches.
DON'TS:
- Don’t use oil-based, wax, polish, ammonia-based, or abrasive cleaners.
- Don’t use steel wool or scouring powders.
- Don’t wash or wet mop with soap, water, oil-soap detergents, or any liquid cleaner—this can cause swelling, warping, delamination, joint separation, and may void your warranty.
- Don’t use buffing machines of any kind.
