| Are
hardwood floors difficult to maintain? |
|
No.
In many cases they are as easy or easier than carpet,
ceramic tile, laminate or vinyl. |
| What
do I use under my furniture to protect the hardwood
floor from scratching? |
|
Our
offers felt protector pads to use in place of the
hard metal or plastic buttons that are placed on
the legs of furniture. You should use these on all
the legs of your furniture to prevent damage to
the floor. |
| My
hardwood floors have lost their shine. How do I
get them to look like they did when they were new? |
|
We offers
a product called Fresh Finish that can be applied
to a urethane-finished floor to refresh the original
appearance. |
| Where
can I find all of these maintenance products? |
|
You
need to check with the retail outlet where you purchased
your flooring. They should have the full line of
maintenance products at their store. |
| What
should I use under my area rugs? |
|
A breathable
rug underlay. Mesh or grid patterns are best. |
| What
other cleaning products do you recommend for my
hardwood floor? |
|
We do
not recommend any alternative products for maintaining
your floors. Use only the recommended cleaners and
maintenance products that are manufactured by Bruce
Hardwood Floors exclusively for factory finished
hardwood floors. |
| Can
I roll heavy furniture across my hardwood floors? |
|
No.
When moving or rolling heavy pieces of furniture
or appliances, use protection, such as strips of
1/4" hardboard as a runner under the wheels
or legs. Always move items with caution (see denting
under general FAQ's). |
| Can
I mop my hardwood floors using hot, soapy water? |
|
No.
Water can prematurely age your hardwood floors and
cause them to crack and split. |
