What's the best way to clean wood floors?

Cleaning Advice - Check out our carpet and disaster recovery...
The best way to take care of any wood floors is to vacuum or dust mop them regularly. This will stop dirt from building up and damaging the floor. A safe way to clean all wood floors is with 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar in a gallon of warm water. Start with a white cleaning cloth and work on a small area at a time. Then, immediately buff dry the area before moving on. You never want to get wood floors too wet, or let them dry on their own.

Failure of the finish ususally occurs first at a sharp edge of the board or at the ends. Two hints: Round over all the sharp edges of the wood to at least 1/16" radius and more if you can. This will keep the coating from becoming thin on these areas.

What types of wood floors are best for kitchens, bathrooms and conservatories?

wood floor supplier - installation - timber flooring - south...
Humidity is the big enemy of wood floors. Do not install a wood floor in a wet bathroom, i.e. where a lot of showering and bathing takes place. In rooms where there is a risk of some humidity, or where the temperature can fluctuate a lot, choose a real wood laminate floor. If you want a wood floor in a conservatory we recommend you to keep the conservatory heated during the winter to avoid humidity building up. Never turn the heating up suddenly from low to full blast.

Are 'laminated' floors made of real wood?

wood floor supplier - installation - timber flooring - south...
Most floors calling themselves 'laminated' are just photographs of wood grain on plastic, mounted on MDF. Confusion can sometimes arise with Real wood laminate floors, which have a top layer of real hardwood - a method of construction sometimes called laminate because it is in layers. If you want a real wood floor, be careful that you're not just buying a photograph of one. The difference isn't always obvious, but it can be a costly mistake.

Why should I finish my wood?

Exterior Wood Care
Some people wonder why wood should be finished at all. After all, some wooden structures have lasted hundreds of years. This is true, but not all wooden structures will last hundreds of years. Weather and the wood itself can develop rot and deteriorate to the point of collapse. Another thing to consider is appearance. If you think natural wood will retain its color, you are wrong. Sunlight turns all woods yellowish or brownish, then gray.
