The New Year is finally here and it’s time to make some changes! Do your new year resolutions have anything to do with the condition of your home? If not, you might want to consider taking a good look around. Especially if you have a hardwood floor! And if it shows signs of damage to the finish, you’ll want to start your year off right by renewing your hardwood floor with The Steam Team!

Signs Of A Damaged Finish

A hardwood floor that you’ve owned for several years will normally start to show signs that the finish is wearing down. Remember these signs well, and if you spot them, don’t hesitate to have the floor renewed, otherwise the hardwood itself could become damaged and will need to be removed and replaced. One clear sign of a damaged finish is discoloration, lack of shine, or gray spots appearing on hardwood floors. Hardwood floor finish can only handle so much, and this discoloration means it has reached it’s limit and needs replacing. Another sign are cracks or splits in the finish. These are a little more difficult to spot, because some cracks might not pierce all the way through the finish, meaning it could potentially be left alone without any issue. So pay close attention to how deep any scratches or cracks in your hardwood floor are.
