Now that you have
sanded and refinished your floor you should now think about the proper maintenance of it.
The following will be some do's and don'ts to keep you floor looking great!
- Do not wax a urethaned floor. They will be less
slippery and you will not have a problem in the future if you want to recoat the floors in
years to come.
- Do be careful where you use furniture wax, overspray can
lead to problems with recoating the floor.
- Do use cleaners recommended or made by the urethane
manufacturer.
- Do clean the floors regularly, using a vacuum or dust mop
to remove heavy grit.
- Do clean dirtier floors with clear water on a damp mop,
but remember, water is the enemy of wood and do not get you floor too wet.
- Do place rugs at entrances to avoid dragging in excessive
grit.
- Do recoat the floor periodically, when it begins to show
signs of wear. If the finish wears off the floor completely you may have to sand and
refinish the floor again, due to staining in the bare spots.
