Dusting and polishing your hardwood flooring daily

Flooring which is kept scratch and dust-free is considered to be the top hardwood. It is must for the wooden flooring installed in the house to be swept daily. Major signs that cause the damage of the hardwood flooring is the accumulation of dust particles in the fissures amidst the wooden tiles. You can polish your hardwood flooring with the help of an electric polisher containing revolving brushes or you can wipe off the hardwood surface regularly using a cotton rag, which enhances the deep red color of your hardwood flooring.

Weekly conditioning of your Hardwood Flooring

Your hardwood flooring needs a coat of floor conditioner or floor wax at least once in a week. Even though the floor wax does not smell good, it prevents your hardwood flooring from becoming over absorbent. Normally, the floor wax is put to set for a couple of days before using it for polishing. And once you are finished with your polishing, your hardwood flooring would look even more shiny.

Avoid exposure of wood to the moisture

Apart from the dust build-up and scratches, wooden floors are prone to damage by moisture. Ensure that you don't spill any water or any other drinking material on your wooden floor, if you want to take care of it. If, however, you drop water or any drink on it, be quick to clean and dry it up fully. . You can fix this problem by using the floor wax on your flooring and letting it remain for almost 24 hours before using the deep red color polish. Cleaning your hardwood flooring regularly would not only make it more glossy but will also make it last long. You should also clean your floor with a vacuum cleaner that is specially made for wooden or bare floors.

He deserves to stay just because he had the patience to write that all out. He wrote probably a good page and a half on just floors alone.

Usefulness aside, this is explicit spam. (There is an address in the profile for Chi sakes…)

If anyone does have a problem, a mod could just take the blog off of the front page.
