| HOW TO TAKE CARE
OF YOUR HARDWOOD FLOOR |
| |
| Mosaic Hardwood Floors knows that Hardwood floors are
not a small investment. Our commitment to making your
floor last doesn't stop when we are have completed the
job. Below we have provided information on keeping your
hardwood floors in "Like New" condition. |
| |
| Preventive Maintenance |
- Install proper protectors in "feet" on
furniture
- Remove spills promptly. Use a soft cotton cloth
and a good floor cleaner to clean wet spills.
- Place mats at extyerior doors to trap sand and
grit from incoming traffic.
- Use area rugs in pivot areas: at step landings,
near doorways, etc. All rugs should allow floors to
breathe. For this reason, avoid rubber backed or other
non-ventilated rugs.
- Sweep or vacuum your hardwood floors regularly.
- Maintian the relative humidity inyour home between
45% and 55%. Excessive humidity can cause wood fibers
to swell, creating cracks in the finish.

| What To Do |
- Never damp mop a wood floor, just wipe according to
your favorite hardwood floor cleaning label directions.
-
Don't let sand, grit, or other abrasives build up. Vacuum
or sweep your hardwood floor regularly.
-
Avoid high heeled shoes; they can severly damage the surface
of any floor covering. Always keep heel caps in good repair.
-
Do not use wax, oil, soap, or other household cleaniers
on your polyurethane finished wood floor. The use of these
products can dull today's floor finishes and make refinishing
difficult.
