  3. What Is Engineered Wood Floor? Hardwood floors are engineered wood floors made up of three layers of solid wood and a protective layer. The three layers consist of the backing layer, core, and the face layer. The protective layer is referred to as the finishing layer. It’s important to protect your luxury investment and understand how to clean hardwood floors, whether you’ve had a hardwood floor for years or just had a new one installed.

  5. Hardwood Floors: Preventive Maintenance You can reduce the amount of time you spend cleaning your hardwood floor by following these simple preventive measures: • To lower the amount of dirt, place foot mats inside and outside the house. • During snowy and rainy weather, ensure there’s a boot removal area to prevent damage that comes from water and di-icers. • Use floor protectors and rugs where children play to avoid scratch on the floor. • Clean up spills immediately to prevent damaging the floor. A damp cloth or microfiber comes in handy for spot cleaning. • You can also consider using UV clothing on your home window. • Lastly, pointy things can be a disadvantage to hardwood floors. Your high heel can leave imprint and scratches on hardwood floors.

  6. Hardwood Floors: Basic Care Do you know that hardwood floor cleaning tips can be handy in your day to day cleaning? You can quickly speed up things by following the basic care I will list below: • Dust the floor with a mop that has been treated with a dusting agent to remove dust and dirt that might scratch the ground. • If it’s a weekly or bi-weekly cleaning, clean with a floor brush attached to an electric broom or vacuum cleaner. • Do not attach a beater bar to your vacuum cleaner to prevent scratches on the finishing layer of your hardwood. Note: For fast cleaning, you can get disposable cloths at groceries and stores.

  7. Hardwood floors: Cleaning It Deeper When I say deeper cleaning, I mean some dirt or stains don’t go entirely with the weekly or bi-weekly cleaning. You can consider the deeper cleaning during the winter holiday or spring. To carry out your deeper cleaning, you can follow these outlined steps; • Use a wood cleaning product and dilute according to the prescription on the label. • Put a sponge or rag into the mixture. Then squeeze until it’s slightly dry. • Clean the floor, making sure water doesn’t remain on the floor. • Rinse the sponge or rag in clean water. Note that some cleaning product doesn’t support rinsing in water. • If the weather is muggy, you can speed up drying of your hardwood floor by turning on the fan or air conditioner.

Some hardwood cleaning services have also dealt with this particular aspect for some time now without a solution. You will get the tips and tricks on hardwood floor cleaning to be a pro at removing marks in this section. Before you remove stains from your hardwood floor, make sure you consider your floor finish.

If the stain has penetrated the floor, there is a possibility the floor is a soft oiled finish. The soft oiled finish is typical in old homes that’s has not been resealed.

  9. Hardwood floors: Cleaning Tips & Tricks Eraser: You can use the regular pencil eraser, though there are specialized hardwood-flooring rubber erasers that work well on stubborn marks. WD–40 type product: This is safe, and it makes your product shine after use. Make sure you wipe thoroughly after use to stay off the slippery floor. Toothpaste or baking soda: If the surface is scratched or pitted, toothpaste and baking powder can leave a chalky residue on your floor. Mineral spirits (Naptha): It would be best if you were careful while using this because it’s caustic and flammable. Fine steel wool: You can make use of fine steel wool (#00 or #000), though it can cause dulling and abrade the wood. If your floor is waxed, try and coat the wool in a waxing solution before you start.
