How to Care for Hardwood Flooring During the First 30 Days After Installation
The first few weeks after installation are a great time to establish good care habits that will help keep your new hardwood floors looking beautiful for years.
Here are a few important tips:
✔ Maintain stable indoor temperature and humidity levels
✔ Regularly remove dust and grit with a soft broom or hardwood-safe vacuum to help prevent scratches
✔ Wipe up spills and moisture promptly
✔ Place felt pads underneath furniture legs
✔ Never drag heavy furniture across your new floors - lift it or use appropriate floor protectors
✔ Follow the recommended cleaning instructions for your specific flooring and finish
If your hardwood was finished on-site, be especially careful to follow your flooring professional’s recommendations for curing time before placing rugs or allowing heavy use.
Proper care from day one can help your hardwood flooring stay beautiful and protected for many years.
