At TriArt Hardwoods, we have collaborated with the NWFA (National Wood Flooring Association) to create the TriArt Hardwood Floors Guide to Maintenance. This guide aims to assist you in maintaining the beauty of your hardwood floors for an extended period. In addition this article provides tips on cleaning and maintaining hardwood floors. Therefore emphasizes the importance of professional services.

•  Regular Dusting and Sweeping

  Atlanta’s dynamic climate can bring a myriad of challenges to your hardwood floors, including dust, dirt, and pollen. To protect your investment, make it a habit to dust and sweep regularly. Use a soft-bristle broom or a microfiber mop to minimize the risk of scratches and abrasions. In other words, consistent cleaning will prevent particles from grinding into your floor’s surface.

• The Welcome Mat Matters

  Keep Atlanta’s unique climate in mind by placing high-quality doormats at every entrance. The humid weather can lead to moisture damage, making doormats an essential line of defense. Regularly maintain and replace them to ensure their efficacy in trapping dirt, debris, and moisture.

• Employ Stylish Area Rugs

  Area rugs serve a dual purpose: they look great and provide an additional layer of protection for your hardwood floors. Consider placing area rugs in high-traffic areas to shield them from wear and tear. However, be sure to use rug pads underneath to prevent slipping and protect your floors.

• Manage Moisture

  Atlanta’s high humidity levels, particularly during the summer, can cause great damage on your hardwood floors, causing issues like warping, cupping, and buckling. Maintain a stable indoor humidity level between 30% and 50% using a dehumidifier. Be vigilant about wiping up spills promptly, and avoid using excessive water during cleaning.

• Choose the Right Cleaning Products

  For effective cleaning, select products formulated specifically for hardwood floors. Think twice before using harsh chemicals, strong cleaners, or excessive water, as these can harm the finish and the wood itself. TriArt Hardwoods recommends using a hardwood floor cleaner recommended by the manufacture of your floor or finish. In general the Bona wood floor cleaner and a dust mop are a great duo.

• Professional Maintenance: TriArt Hardwoods’ Expertise

  In Atlanta, trusting professionals like TriArt Hardwoods for hardwood floor maintenance is a wise choice. Our services include deep cleaning hardwood floors.

• Guard Against Scratches

  Pet owners and high heel enthusiasts take note: pet nails and stiletto heels can scratch the surface of your beloved hardwood floors. Keep pet nails trimmed and use area rugs in areas where they roam. In addition, encourage guests to remove their shoes or opt for softer-soled footwear indoors.
