How to maintain your precious wooden floors during the rainy season?

Just as we bid farewell to the fluttering willow catkins, the rainy season arrives. Continuous cloudy and rainy days have dampened the ground, causing varying degrees of damage to wooden floors and significantly reducing the comfort of our homes. How should we maintain our precious wooden floors during this humid rainy season?

Close windows and ventilate intermittently

During the rainy season, it's important to keep windows closed, especially those facing south or southeast. This prevents rain from blowing in and soaking furniture and floors. Keeping windows closed also prevents further moisture from entering the home. Open windows in the afternoon or evening, when the weather is relatively dry, to adjust the air quality.

External force to remove moisture

When the external environment is humid and the indoor humidity is heavy, you can use heating equipment such as air conditioners, heaters, and floor heating. These heating equipment are external helpers for dehumidification. When the indoor temperature and humidity increase, the air becomes drier, and the humidity will naturally decrease.

Keep a dehumidifier bag at home

For families with wooden floors in southern China, keeping desiccant and dehumidifier bags on hand is essential. They're a great way to dehumidify during the rainy season. Placing them on sofas, in corners, or under beds in the bedroom doesn't detract from the aesthetics, but still helps.

Regular waxing maintenance

Many consumers don't pay attention to the maintenance of wooden floors after purchasing them. Due to environmental factors, improper use, and other factors, the floors are prone to problems and have a very short service life. Ask a professional to wax the floors regularly to form a protective film on the surface. This not only blocks moisture infiltration but also prevents the invasion of bacteria and dust. Don't worry about the rainy season at all. Even expensive solid wood floors require special care.
