Properly maintained hardwood floors will keep them looking good and extend their lifespan. It is extremely important to remove all the dirt, dropped food, grit and other debris that can end up on and ground into your hardwood floors. Dirt that is not removed quickly can be "camouflaged" in the pattern or color of the wood; making it not only difficult to see, but easy to ignore. There are several basic tools that you can use to remove dirt:- Brooms: Make sure to use a broom that has "exploded" ends that can sweep up dust and fine grit.
- Vacuums: Any type of vacuum is fine, except an upright with a beater bar and brushes. These can cause damage to the floor.
- Dust mop: Dust mopping and vacuuming are the most effective methods of removing debris from floors. If using a dust mop, buy a high quality mop with an eighteen inch head. Treat the mop with a dust mop treatment so it grabs the dirt and doesn't just push it around.
