The best option for enhancing your home's visual appeal and market value is installing hardwood floors. Like most things, they require some level of maintenance to keep them looking their best. When you want your hardwood floors to look gorgeous for years to come, follow these tips. And if you need hardwood repair, finishing, or installation, leave it to the experts at Magic Hardwood, with locations in King and Snohomish County.
Start by regularly sweeping your hardwood floors to maintain them. As a result, there will be less possibility of sharp objects damaging the wood. Use the hard floor setting on your vacuum if it has one so that the bristles won't scratch the surface. If something spills, wipe up the liquid immediately with a clean towel. When it’s time to mop, make sure the mop is damp but not dripping wet. The wood will begin to cup if there is too much moisture. Because of this, refrain from steam cleaning your wood floors.
UV rays can fade hardwood floors. If your floors are in a part of your house that gets a lot of natural light, the outline of a sofa can become evident even after a couple of years. That’s why we suggest rearranging your furniture every so often to ensure the floor fades evenly.
Hardwood flooring can last for hundreds of years with proper maintenance. We recommend getting them refinished every seven to ten years. Your floors should be refinished if they have numerous scratches that have managed to penetrate the stain. Signs of water damage and boards that are beginning to turn gray are additional indicators. As soon as possible, have the gray boards polished to prevent them from turning black and requiring a complete replacement.
