Preventive Maintenance
- Use
dirt-trapping, walk-off mats at all exterior doors to help
prevent dirt, grit and sand from getting inside on your
floors. Throw rugs or small area rugs just inside the
entrances are also helpful. Dirt and grit are any floor's
worst enemy.
- We
recommend putting EZ-Glides (small berber carpet buttons) on
the legs of all your furniture. Clean the glides
periodically so grit does not get caught on them; replace
occasionally as needed.
- Barrel
type roller casters are better than ball casters which could
cause damage. Avoid any type of plastic caster.
- Vacuum
regularly; as often as you would vacuum carpets; a brush
attachment works well. Dust mopping also works well, but DO
NOT use a household dust treatment on your mop as this may
cause your floor to become slick or dull the finish. It will
also leave a film that can impair bonding of future recoats.
- If you
wish to damp wipe your floors, we recommend and have
available the following products: Schmidt Floor Cleaner used with a ShmopTM.
Call our office for more information on these products. DO
NOT use wax, Murphy Oil Soap, Endust,
Pledge, etc. on the floors. Wipe up spills
immediately with a damp cloth.
- Keep high
heels in good repair. Heels that have worn down or lost
protective caps, exposing the steel support rod in the heel
can dent any floor surface.
Recommendations
For Care After Floors are Newly Finished:
-
Use NO
water for one week
-
Place
carpets or other area rugs after 1 week
-
Allow 48
hours for furniture and pets
-
Wait 4 to
6 hours before walking on floors with stocking feet and
after 24 hours for shoes
-
Have your
floors buffed and recoated every 2-3 years in high traffic
areas and 3-5 years in areas of lower traffic
