Struxtur Inc recommends that you:
• Sweep or vacuum regularly to rid your floor of dust and eliminate abrasives that can scratch the finish.
• Quickly wipe spills from floor to protect wood from excess liquid.
• Use mats outside and inside entrances to prevent sand and abrasives build- up on floor. Avoid rubber or other dense mat backings that prevent airflow beneath rugs and retain abrasives and humidity.
• Use mats near sink, dishwasher and workstations to protect floor from cooking utensils, water spills, detergents, oils and other kitchen mishaps.
• Stick felt pads under any furniture or chair legs to ease movement and prevent scratches. Keep pads clean at all times and regularly check for signs of wear.
• Opt for large soft polyurethane or rubber casters rather than narrow rigid plastic ones.
• Protect your floor when moving heavy object. Place on a reversed mat, a smaller piece of plywood. Place object on this and slide smoothly over floor.
• Be careful with pointed objects such as spiked-heeled and sport shoes that may damage the finish of your floor, especially if they are worn or damaged.
• Maintain relative humidity level around 45% for your good health, your wood floor and furnishings. Wood is a natural material that reacts to relative humidity variations when moisture is absorbed or released.
• The floor needs to be protected from sunlight and intense artificial lighting to reduce discoloration of exposed wood. This phenomenon with wood surfaces is normal and natural and varied according to specie.
• Occasionally move furniture and carpets around and reduce intense light sources to minimize color contrasts.
Things to avoid:
• Never pour cleaner or any other liquid directly onto floor surface.
• Do not use a wet mop that leaves excess water.
• Do not use wax, oil-based detergents or other household cleaning agents on your floors, since these products may dull or damage finish, leave a greasy film that makes floors slippery, make maintenance more difficult.
