Floor Maintenance
Hardwood floors will last forever with proper care. Wicks Wood Floors, Inc. uses the most advanced floor finish, so your hardwood floors are virtually maintenance free. Regular cleaning of your hardwood helps keep floors free of dirt, grit, food crumbs and dust, which are potentially damaging to wood floors. Below are a few important tips to help insure long lasting, brilliant floors.
  • Floors should be cleaned once every one to two weeks.
  • Remove wet spills promptly using a soft cotton cloth.
  • Never damp mop a wood floor.
  • Do not use wax, oil soap, vinegar or other household cleaners. These products can dull the finish      and make future cleaning and re-coating difficult.
  • Wicks Wood Floors, Inc. highly recommends using professional floor cleaning products such as      BonaKemi floor care and cleaning products.

    • Preventative Maintenance
    Preventative Maintenance goes a long way toward protecting your hardwood floor and helping it look great for a lifetime of enjoyment. Follow these important tips:
  • Use mats or throw rugs at entrances and heavy traffic areas.
  • Avoid rubber-backed or other non-ventilated rugs.
  • Install "EZ-Glide" protectors on feet of furniture. Never slide furniture across flooring.
  • Avoid walking on the floors with high heels or cleats.
  • Regularly trim your pet's claws.
  • Use a humidifier in the winter months.
  • Wicks Wood Floors recommends recoating your floors every 2-3 years. Recoating should be done      when your floor begins to show wear. A recoat will quickly rejuvenate the floors resilience.
  • Refinishing your floor is recommended when floors are show high wear patterns.

    • Newly Finished Floor Care
    The following is recommended care for your newly finished floor.
  • Wait 4 to 6 hours before walking on floors with stocking feet. After 24 hours you may walk on the floor      with soft sole shoes.

  • Allow 48 hours before allowing pets on the hardwood.
