WOODEN FLOOR CARE

Whether we’re restoring a family home or a busy commercial space, we know wooden floors need the right care to stay beautiful and durable. We recommend allowing proper curing time—no foot traffic for 24 hours, no furniture for 48–72 hours, and no rugs for 7 days. We always advise using felt pads under furniture to prevent scratches, sweeping or vacuuming regularly to remove grit, and cleaning only with a damp mop and pH-neutral cleaner. By keeping a stable indoor climate and applying periodic maintenance coats, we help you protect your investment for years. Contact us today, turn your flooring vision into reality.

FLOOR AFTERCARE FOR LONG-LASTING FLOORS

We believe proper aftercare is the key to preserving the look and life of your wooden floors. We allow floors to cure fully before use, never drag furniture, always lift, and use doormats to keep dirt at bay. We protect against water damage by avoiding excess moisture during cleaning and recommend refreshing the finish with a maintenance coat every 2–5 years, especially in high-traffic areas, so your floors always look their finest.

EXPERT ADVICE FOR EVERY FLOOR TYPE

From parquet to oak, we understand that every wooden floor has unique needs, but the basics of care stay the same. We maintain stable humidity (45–60%), use only the right cleaning products, and protect high-wear spots with rugs once curing is complete. We avoid steam mops and harsh chemicals, and address spills immediately to prevent staining or damage. With our expert guidance, you can enjoy the warmth and elegance of your floors for decades. 

QUICK TIPS FOR FLOOR PROTECTION

  • Curing time matters – 24 hours before walking, 48–72 hours before furniture, 7 days before rugs.

  • Protect surfaces – Felt pads under furniture and no dragging heavy items.

  • Control dirt – Doormats at entrances, regular sweeping, and soft-bristle vacuuming.

  • Avoid water damage – Damp mop only, pH-neutral cleaner, no steam mops.

  • Refresh periodically – Maintenance coat every 2–5 years.

  • Act fast on spills – Wipe immediately to avoid lasting damage.

Brilliant service. Sanded the downstairs rooms and hallway, and looks fantastic now. Really happy with the result and all for the price quoted. From start to finish, Keith and his team have been amazing. Would definitely recommend 👍
