Moganshan floor Huangmei day moisture-proof strategy is worth collecting

As the old saying goes, "During the plum rain season, every household experiences rain," this line perfectly describes the current plum rain season in June. The heat in Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces after the plum rain season begins is as intense as a steamer, soaking clothes and floors. This humid environment puts a severe strain on wooden floors.

The harm of moisture to wooden floors

Warping and mildew of the floor

During the rainy season, the air humidity is high, and wooden floors absorb a lot of water. When they get wet, they expand irregularly and are prone to warping. A humid environment is a breeding ground for mold, which can easily cause the floor to mold.

Tips for Moisture-Proof Maintenance of Wooden Floors

01. Close windows in time to block moisture

Rain causes the outdoor air humidity to increase, so it is important to close the windows in time, especially the windows facing south and southeast, to prevent rain from soaking the floor and to block moisture from entering the room, avoiding floor deformation problems.

02. Electrical appliances help with internal and external ventilation

Wooden floors can better demonstrate their natural warmth in an environment with suitable temperature and humidity, and a ventilated and dry environment is most suitable.

When it is cloudy and rainy with no chance to see the sun, you can use air conditioners, dehumidifiers, heaters and other equipment to dehumidify, and control the optimal temperature of the human body and the floor at 23℃±2℃, and the humidity at 50%RH-60%RH.

03. Avoid air conditioning blowing directly onto the floor

When using air conditioning for dehumidification, be careful not to make the temperature difference between indoor and outdoor too high, and do not blow the air outlet of the air conditioner directly at the floor. The floor is prone to deformation when the temperature and humidity change rapidly, so avoid shrinkage and deformation due to rapid evaporation of moisture in the floor.

04. Keep moisture-proof materials at home

During the rainy season, you can prepare more desiccant, moisture-proof bags, dehumidification bags and other moisture-proof auxiliary materials at home, and place them in easily overlooked corners such as sofas, corners, under beds, kitchen cabinets, wardrobes, etc. They can absorb moisture and remove odors at the same time. The most common newspapers are also a good helper for dehumidification. They are low-cost and easy to absorb water. The ink smell itself is also a natural insect repellent.

05. Regular waxing and daily maintenance

Regardless of whether it is the rainy season or not, wooden floors should be waxed and maintained regularly. While protecting the beauty of the paint surface, surface waxing can also play a role in waterproofing and moisture-proofing, and can also prevent moisture from invading the floor during the rainy season.

06. Mopping with warm salt water makes the floor dry faster

Keep the floor dry during daily use. In humid weather, do not mop the floor with a wet mop that has not been wrung out. When cleaning the mop, add 2-3 spoons of salt to the mop bucket, soak the mop for 5 minutes, wring it out, and then mop the floor. This will speed up the drying process.
