Does your floor need to be refinished?
An easy way to tell is if cleaning no longer restores your floors to an acceptable appearance. Besides the dull appearance, look for scratches, gouges and separation between boards. Repairing such damage is part of the Process.
Did you Know?
If floors and furnishings are neglected, the finish can wear through causing loss of stain color and damage to the actual wood. This will require extensive restoration including complete sanding, staining and refinishing. This process is expensive, time consuming and inconvenient. It may even require you to move out of your home during the process.
Most wood floors can accept only two or three of the treatments described above over a lifetime. The wood veneer can be sanded away and the floors will need to be replaced. It pays to maintain your floors.
The System is odorless, non toxic and dries in about an hour. You can walk on the floor in your stockings at that time. Furniture may be moved back in 4 hours and rugs after 12 hours. Don't allow shoes on the floor for the first 24 hours. After that, your new finish is hardened and ready for normal use.
Hardwood Floor Care
(As recommended by the National Wood Floor Association)
Use dirt trapping walk-off mats to all exterior doors.
Strong sunlight can cause fading of wood and wood stain. To avoid uneven appearance move area rugs occasionally and drape or shade large windows to avoid direct sunlight on the wood.
Apply fabric-faced glides to the legs of your furniture.
Vacuum or dust your wood floor as often as you vacuum your carpet.
Wipe up food and other spills immediately with a damp (not wet) cloth.
Standing moisture can damage poorly finished floors.
Avoid soaps. They can build up and create problems. For cleaning use cleaners, that are specifically formulated for wood floors like Wood cleaner.
We recommend using Florguards when moving appliances. Florguards will prevent damage to your floors from sharp edges an even the weight of the appliance. A heavy refrigerator can leave indentations in some floors.
