Preparing for your hardwood flooring installation
When it comes to any flooring installation, preparation is essential. You’ll need to take a few steps before your hardwood flooring even arrives at your home.
First, make sure you properly addressed your old flooring and your subfloor. The subfloor will need to be clean and flat before the installation can begin. We can advise you on this and can tell you what additional steps you’ll need to take. You’ll also need to remove all furniture and valuables from the work area. For this step, you may wish to consider hiring a professional moving company, as they are both thorough and experienced with a variety of jobs.
During & after your hardwood flooring installation
A member of your household who is at least 18 or older should be available to greet the installation crew and show them to the work area. For everyone’s safety, keep children and pets away from the work area until the job is done. Feel free to ask your lead installer any questions you might have about the finished product. You may also be instructed to stay off of your flooring for a set amount of time to allow any stain or varnish to properly cure. If this is the case, our team will inform you.
Once your hardwood flooring is installed, it’s up to you to develop a regular care routine that will keep your hardwood looking and performing well for many years. Follow the simple preventative maintenance tips.
Daily hardwood care & maintenance
Sweep, vacuum, and dry mop your hardwood flooring on a regular basis. Make sure to check with your manufacturer’s care and maintenance guide, in addition to their list of approved vacuum cleaners, before caring for your new floors. If your flooring needs more than just a dry surface clean, use a manufacturer-approved cleaning solution and follow their guidelines.
It’s also a good idea to take some extra steps to protect your hardwood flooring. Keep pets’ nails trimmed, and remove outdoor shoes before walking across your flooring. Investing in doormats and placing them throughout your home will help keep dirt off of your flooring. Finally, consider purchasing an area rug or two. Doing so will keep your hardwood protected while visually enhancing your living space!
Dealing with hardwood spills
Occasional spills and stains are inevitable, especially if you have pets or kids. Most liquid spills will wipe away simply with a cloth. You’ll want to do this as quickly as possible, as hardwood flooring is not water-resistant. Other spills, such as wax or nail polish, are more complex. For these, you’ll want to consult your manufacturer’s care guidelines.
