How to clean and maintain solid wood floors

Take care of hardwood floors.

1. The humidity in the room should not be too large, keep the floor dry and clean, and wipe it with a wrung out cotton mop for daily cleaning; In case of stubborn stains, wipe with a neutral cleaning solvent and then wipe with a wrung out cotton mop, and never use acid, alkaline solvent or organic solvents such as gasoline to scrub.

2. Pay attention to avoid scratching the floor by hard objects such as heavy metal sharps, glass porcelain tiles, and shoe spikes during daily use of solid wood flooring; Do not mop the floor surface when moving furniture; Do not expose the floor to an open flame or place a high-power electric heater directly on the floor; It is forbidden to place strong acidic and alkaline substances on the floor; Prolonged immersion is absolutely prohibited.

3. In order to maintain the beauty of the solid wood floor and prolong the service life of the paint surface, it is recommended to wax and maintain it twice a year. Wipe the floor clean before waxing, then apply an even layer of floor wax on the surface, and wipe it with a soft cloth after it has dried slightly.

4. If a large area of water is accidentally flooded, or the local area is soaked in water for a long time, it should be drained as soon as possible after discovery, and let it dry naturally, and it is strictly forbidden to use electric heaters to dry or expose to the sun.

5. Long-term exposure to strong sunlight, or the sharp rise and fall of the temperature in the room may cause the premature aging of the paint surface of the solid wood floor, which should be avoided as much as possible. There are many misunderstandings about the choice of solid wood flooring, for example, consumers generally believe that solid wood flooring is better than laminate flooring, which is debatable. Solid wood flooring on the tree species and age requirements are very strict, fast-growing tree species can not be used to make solid wood flooring, generally speaking, the age of the trees used to make solid wood flooring are over 80 years old, cut down a tree is less green, in the long run, will affect the ecological environment on the earth.

Consumers are also very picky when choosing solid wood flooring, requiring both no color difference and no scars. Solid wood flooring is a natural material, and it is completely normal for the tree to have a little color difference due to the influence of the environment during the growth process, and it is normal to produce scars, because the tree has to divide the branches, and there are scars in the place where the branches are divided. Now, many solid wood floor dealers are advocating that there is no color difference and no scars, which is misleading consumers that it is impossible for solid wood floors to have no color difference.

At present, some foreign consumers are more willing to choose some color differences and some scars when buying solid wood flooring, because they feel that this is natural.

Solid wood flooring, should use wood wax or floor essential oil, this question is only asked by Chinese (floor essential oil is only sold in China, and other countries do not sell floor essential oil).

The main components of floor wax are beeswax, palm wax, and orange oil, which is oily. The main components of floor essential oils are acrylic, brighteners, and water, which are water-based.

My opinion: solid wood floors should be cured with wood wax.

At present, there are two brands of better solid wood floor wax in the domestic market, one is an American brand, called "Huisman HOWARD" natural wood wax; The other is a British brand called "Harrells" natural wood wax.

Essential oils are good, of course! It is easy to use and the effect is good. Good to clean up, the white lightning brand floor orange oil sold by Taobao Baijie Home is very good, which can achieve the two major effects of decontamination and maintenance.

It is best to use essential oils, because floor wax is a previous product, it is more troublesome to use, essential oils are very convenient, and the effect is much better than floor wax, use Muli's essential oil to try it.

Now you use essential oils, spray it on the floor and plug it with a dry towel, generally you can ask the store to send an essential oil maintenance when you buy the floor, and the brand they use should have a good one,

Essential oils are good, of course! It is easy to use and the effect is good. Good cleanup, "Jiahe" brand wood essential oil is very good.

1. Waterproof.

If you accidentally spill water on the solid wood floor, wipe it clean with a soft cloth and keep it dry to avoid warping, cracking and mildew.

2. Moisture-proof. If the outdoor humidity is greater than the indoor humidity, you can close the doors and windows to keep the indoor humidity low. If the outdoor humidity is less than the indoor humidity, you can open the doors and windows to reduce the indoor humidity, and in humid and sultry weather, you can turn on the air conditioner or electric fan.

3. Sunscreen. In summer, if the curtains are not drawn, the floor will be exposed to strong sunlight for a long time, or the temperature in the room will rise and fall sharply, etc., which may cause the paint surface of the solid wood floor to deteriorate prematurely. If the temperature of the air conditioner is too low, the temperature changes too much during the day and at night, which will also cause the floor to expand or contract too violently, resulting in deformation and cracking of the floor.
