Flooring Cleaning and Maintenance Tips

Autumn in the southern hemisphere brings its own challenges, especially when it comes to keeping your floors clean. Here are some expert tips on cleaning and maintaining wood flooring, laminate floors, and SPC flooring.

Dust Absorption with a Woolen Wiper

Start by attaching a dry woolen wiper to a flat mop and spraying a dust adsorbent on it. Wipe the floor surface, allowing the woolen wiper to absorb hair and dust. Afterward, remove the wiper, wash it with water, and let it dry. No cleaning agents are necessary to prevent any potential damage to the floor surface.

Dry Mop for Gentle Cleaning

For solid wood floorboards or engineered wood timber, using a dry mop is the gentlest way to clean without impacting the floorboard surface.

Deep Cleaning with a Vacuum Cleaner

A vacuum cleaner is ideal for hand-crafted timber or homes with intricate corners. It effectively cleans deeper textures and side seams of the flooring, ensuring a thorough clean.

Floor Waxing for Protection (Recommended for Wax Oiled Wood Flooring)

Floor waxing, especially for waxed oiled wood flooring, provides essential care and maintenance. While it's commonly believed to have various effects such as cleaning, protection, glazing, and repairing, its primary function is protection. Floor waxing ensures the longevity of your flooring, especially for sensitive surfaces.

Floor Cleaners for Commercial Use

Floor cleaners, particularly those recommended for laminate and SPC floorboards, are suitable for commercial engineering floors. They work well on surfaces that are not sensitive to acid, alkali, or water immersion, such as plastic floors.

Proper cleaning and maintenance will ensure your wood flooring, laminate floors and SPC flooring retain their beauty for years to come. Happy cleaning!
