How to Care for your Engineered Hardwood Flooring?

Shaw Hardwood Flooring - Care & Maintenance 

With proper care and routine maintenance, your engineered hardwood floors can maintain their appearance and performance for years to come. Following these simple guidelines will help protect your investment and keep your floors looking their best. 

Routine Care Steps:

  1. Dry dust mop the floor to remove loose debris with a microfiber mop.
  2. Spray a pH-neutral hardwood floor cleaner onto a small area.
  3. Clean using a damp, flat microfiber mop - never a traditional mop and bucket.
  4. Ensure floors are completely clean and dry. Repeat if necessary.

Protect Your Floors:

  • Place mats at exterior entrances to trap dirt and moisture.
  • Use felt floor protectors under furniture legs.
  • Use area rugs in high-traffic areas.
  • Lift heavy furniture instead of dragging it.
  • Keep pets' nails trimmed.
  • Protect floors from prolonged direct sunlight whenever possible.

Avoid Using These Products:

  • Steam mops, wet mops, and excessive water
  • Abrasive cleaners
  • Oil soaps or paste wax
  • Citrus oil, tung oil, silicone, or ammonia-based cleaners
  • Two-in-one cleaners with polish additives
