Aside from the fact that it can make your home

maintain, cleaner, more sustainable,
more durable, and more long-lasting. If you think

wood flooring and to make it last forever.

ultraviolet rays can make your flooring fade so
fast. To minimize sun exposure and to block UV
rays, use protective window coverings.

2. Periodically rearrange furniture and rugs

• Most of the types of woods gradually age when
  left uncovered. In order to avoid uneven aging,
  you should rearrange your furniture and rugs
  every now and then.

3. Avoid using wet mop
The mortal enemy of hardwood flooring is water.
Too much exposure to water and moisture can ruin
the surface of the wood. If you want your
flooring to last long, avoid using a very damp or
wet mop. If for instance you really have to use a
damp mop or washcloth for some reasons, always
remember to wipe up any residual moisture as soon
as possible. Also, avoid using water or other
liquid based solution when cleaning your hardwood
flooring.

4. Use protection pad for your furniture

• One of the best ways to protect your wood
  flooring is to use protection pad for your
  furniture especially those that are heavy and
  moveable. Attach the protection or contact pad to
  the part of the furniture that touches the floor.
  Also, avoid sliding your furniture when moving it
  from one place to another. Sliding your furniture
  across the floor can damage the wood. So if you
  need to rearrange your room, it is best to look
  for someone who can help you move and lift
  furniture pieces.

5. Keep your floor always clean
Dust, gritty dirt and small particles can leave
scratches on your floor's surface. To preserve
the beauty of your wood flooring, keep it free
from dust and other small
particles at all times. You can use a vacuum or a
soft-bristled broom to clean the floor. Avoid
using vacuums with power rotary brush or beater
bar head.
6. Choose your floor cleaning tools and products
wisely

• There are certain cleaning tools and products
  that can cause damages to your hardwood flooring.
  Harsh cleaning aids like scouring powders, steel
  wool pads, and metal scouring pads can leave
  permanent damages to your floor. Household
  cleaning products like paste wax, liquid wax, and
  oil soaps that contain silicon, citrus, tung oil,
  or lemon can make your floor look dull in the
  long run. If you want to keep your floor
  beautiful forever, better stay away from these
  types of cleaning tools and products.
