The Do's & Don'ts of Hardwood Flooring
- Use rugs at workstations, pivot-points (e.g., stair landings, room entries), and high-traffic areas to reduce wear, especially if you have a large family or indoor pets.
- Use mats at all exterior doors to keep sand, dirt, grit, grease, and oil outside.
- Keep pet's nails trimmed and paws clean and free of dirt, gravel, grease, oil, and stains.
- Place protective pads beneath furniture legs and feet to reduce scratches and dents.
- Use a dolly with rubber wheels (not hard metal or plastic!) and protective sheets of plywood when moving heavy objects, furniture, or appliances.
- Make certain furniture casters are clean and operate properly (a minimum 1" width is recommended.)
- Remove shoes with spiked or damaged heels before walking on floor.
Note: Exposure to the sun and its UV rays accelerates the oxidation and aging of wood and fabrics. This causes the stain and/or wood to fade and/or change color. We recommend that you rearrange area rugs and furniture periodically so the floor ages evenly. Although some manufacturers will cure their polyurethane finishes underneath ultra-violet light, eventual fading of the finish may occur.
