Timber Floor Maintenance Tips

DIY Tips:


  • Regular Sweeping and Vacuuming: Dust and dirt can scratch the surface of timber floors. Use a soft-bristle broom or a vacuum cleaner with a hardwood floor attachment.
  • Mopping: Use a damp (not wet) mop with a mild wood floor cleaner. Avoid excessive water to prevent warping.
  • Furniture Pads: Place felt pads under furniture legs to prevent scratches and dents.


Professional Maintenance:


  • Deep Cleaning: Periodically, a professional deep clean can remove built-up grime that regular cleaning misses.
  • Re-coating: Applying a fresh coat of finish every few years will protect the timber and maintain its shine.
  • Repairs: Professional repairs can effectively address deep scratches, dents and other damages.
