What Not to do.

Do not let sand, dirt or grit build up. They can act like sandpaper and actually abrade, dull and scratch the floor finish.

Never damp mop a wood floor. Excessive amounts of water can cause your wood floor to swell and cup.

Avoid walking on wood floors in high heels. They can severely damage wood floors. Keep heels in good repair.

Keep pets' claws properly trimmed to avoid excessive scratches and gouges.

Do not use wax, oil soap, or other household cleaners on your polyurethane finished wood floor. The use of these products can dull today's floor finishes and make refinishing difficult
