    I'm going to dry it right away, and I'm still asking here!! If you have air conditioning in your room, it's simple (you know it yourself). If not, keep it ventilated. After the wooden floor is flooded, the market will be damp, deformed, and distorted. Be sure to take care of it!

    Dry the water first and let the air circulate, but don't let the sun shine directly.

    The water must be wiped clean in time, the doors and windows must be opened for ventilation and drying, and it must not be directly exposed to the sun or baked by an electric stove, so as not to dry too quickly and crack the floor.

    If the area is small, you can use a hair dryer (cold air) and an electric fan to dry it, which can speed up the air flow;

    If you have a large area, it is recommended that you quickly find the person who installed the floor for you, and if you can dismantle it, it is best to dismantle it and dry it with heavy loads.

    Remember to wax the floor before it is completely dry, as this will seal the water that has soaked into the bottom layer of the floor, promote the erosion and deformation of the floor, and further affect the service life of the floor.

    Hope it helps!

    You're talking about water seeping into the floor, right? Notify the floor installer as soon as possible, and do not remove it yourself.

    Here are some ways to reduce losses:

    1. Regardless of the size of the soaked area, it is not recommended to pry it up to dry, so that the floor will not be able to be used again. The correct way to do this is to quickly drain the surface water of the floor, remove the baseboard, expose the expansion joints, and rely on the expansion joints to dissipate the moisture.

    2. If the solid wood floor enters the water in a small area, the water vapor can be sucked out with a high-power vacuum cleaner, but the floor needs to be pried up and dried in the shade for a large area of water.

    3. After the soaking floor is pried up, the surface water of the floor should be wiped dry, and the reverse side should be placed upwards according to the "well" shape to prevent the surface from drying out and cracking due to rapid drying.

If it squeaks, it may be because: the gap between the floor is smaller, if the weather is humid, the floor will expand when the humidity increases, so the bite of the floor (tongue and tongue and groove) is too tight and produces sound, usually after a year of climate change, the material of the floor will be stable, and it will not sound. If you feel uncomfortable with the noise, you can spray some wood oil essence in the gap to reduce friction. >>>More
