What can damage a wood floor?

E-mail Print PDF
  • Water-Wet mopping or excessive water causes wood grain to raise and the wood to expand, crack, splinter and possibly, in extreme cases, to discolor or mildew.
  • Oil Soaps-Do not use commercial cleaners made for vinly, ceramic etc. or other waxes/polishes.
  • Ammonia Cleaners-Do not use ammonia cleaners or non-recommended cleaners because they will dull or damage your hardwood floor. Never use window cleaners with amonia.
  • High Heel Shoes-Heels that have lost their protective caps or shoes with any sharp exposed nail or stone will exert up to 8,000 lb per square inch of pressure on a floor. That's enough to damage any type of floor covering.
  • Sunlight-Exposure to the sun and its UV rays can cause wood floors to fade, change color, or experience surface checking, and even cause color changes in its protective polyurethane finish.

To avoid these problems we recommend using draperies or shades to help block out the sun's harmful rays.
