Flooring is a frequently used material in decoration, so it's crucial to pay careful attention to its maintenance. Because wood structures vary greatly, flooring maintenance also varies significantly. In winter, floors are prone to moisture loss, cracking, and deformation. Today, we'll discuss the different maintenance methods for different types of artificial wood materials as the weather turns colder.
1. Solid wood flooring
On solid wood floors, use a well-wrung cotton mop to wipe the floor. Maintain a certain indoor temperature and humidity, preferably no higher than 28 degrees Celsius and a humidity between 50% and 70%, never lower than 40%. Only in this environment can wooden floors maintain a relatively stable state. Also, keep the floor surface dry and well-maintained. For daily cleaning, use a well-wrung cotton mop. For stubborn stains, wipe the floor with a neutral detergent and then a well-wrung cotton mop. Avoid using highly acidic or organic solvents like gasoline. To maintain the appearance of solid wood floors and extend their lifespan, wax them at least twice a year.
2. Laminate flooring
Laminate flooring can be mopped with a damp mop. In winter, laminate flooring is easy to use and maintain, but it shouldn't be taken too seriously. Generally speaking, it's important to increase the humidity on the floor surface. Mopping with a damp mop can increase the surface moisture and effectively prevent cracks and cracks. Furthermore, wood floors can experience changes in moisture content due to changes in ambient humidity and temperature, which can affect the laminate floor's expansion and contraction, so it's crucial to maintain a reasonable moisture content.
3. Solid wood multi-layer flooring
Solid wood multi-layer flooring must be protected from direct sunlight and from collision with hard or heavy objects, otherwise it is easy to cause damage to the paint layer, scratches and other problems. When moving furniture, do not drag or pull it hard. If heavy furniture needs to be pushed into the room, a protective layer must be laid on the floor. If there are stains, be sure to use a mild detergent or warm water to clean it.
