There are several main culprits responsible for damaging real hardwood flooring. UV rays from the sun, wet spills, overzealous cleaning and harsh contact with furnishings can all do significant harm.

Avoid the use of toys, large or small, with wheels. The wheels are often made of hard plastic that becomes rough with use.

When vacuuming, use the brush attachment. It’s even advisable to conserve one particular brush attachment for the real hardwood flooring and use a separate one for other areas of the house.

Sand and dirt are abrasive so keep mats at doorways to the rooms where hardwood flooring is in place. Wiping feet removes most traces.

Ask your flooring consultant about the correct cleaning agents to use on your floor. Different treatments on floors can require specialized products for cleaning.
