Floor Cleaning and Maintenance in Philomath, OR

Wood floors are damaged more by the wrong cleaning than by ordinary use. Water is the enemy, so wet mopping shortens the life of a floor considerably, and steam mops are worse because they actively drive moisture into the joints where it cannot escape.

Products containing wax or oil build a film that eventually has to be stripped, and while that film is there the floor cannot be recoated. People discover this years later when they want a refresh and find it will cost far more than expected.

A hardwood-specific cleaner and a dry method most of the time is very nearly all of it. Grit is the other enemy, so mats at entrances do more for a floor than any product.

Philomath, OR Hardwood Floor Installation advises across Philomath, OR on maintaining what you have rather than replacing it early.

Never steam mop a wood floor. The damage is cumulative and invisible until it is not.
