Solid wood flooring is made directly from solid wood. It has the natural texture of the wood, is naturally beautiful, warm in winter and cool in summer, and feels comfortable underfoot. It is deeply loved by everyone, but its price can also be daunting. But after making up your mind to buy a solid wood floor and taking it home, how should you care for and maintain it?
01. Do moisture-proof treatment before laying
Moisture and moisture are fatal factors for wooden floors, especially solid wooden floors, and will greatly reduce their service life. Therefore, when laying the floor, you must do a good job of moisture-proof isolation. Moisture-proof mats, moisture-proof cloths, and moisture-proof films have good moisture-proof effects.
02. Maintain appropriate temperature and humidity indoors
Excessive temperature and humidity fluctuations can also cause floor deformation. When the outdoor humidity is higher than the indoor humidity, doors and windows should be closed. If it is lower, windows should be opened for ventilation to reduce the indoor humidity and maintain a dry-wet balance. Excessive temperature fluctuations between day and night can accelerate the aging of floor paint, so air conditioning can be used to adjust the temperature.
03. Keep the floor surface dry and clean
Solid wood floors should not be wiped with a wet cloth or wet mop. Residual moisture will cause the floor to warp and deform. For daily cleaning, just wipe it with a wrung-out cotton mop, or use specially equipped cleaning and maintenance products for daily care. Only in this way can the solid wood floors maintain their original color and texture.
04. Stay away from dangerous objects that may cause serious injuries
Solid wood floors are prone to many hazards, including blunt metal objects, furniture, flammable materials, and chemicals. When moving furniture, lift it up and down as much as possible, avoiding scraping, pulling, or pushing. Dropping heavy metal objects on the floor can cause serious damage. Keep flammable items like electrical appliances, sockets, and open flames away from the floor. Avoid placing strongly acidic or alkaline substances on solid wood floors.
05. Maintain regular maintenance and care
Solid wood floors are very precious. In order to maintain their long-lasting beauty, comfortable texture and long-term service life, they should be regularly cared for with special floor essential oils. You can invite professionals or carry out maintenance under the guidance of professionals.
