Care & Maintenance
Recommend you take your shoes off and enjoy the floor under your feet, this will help keep the surface clean. (Always remove shoes with spikes and sharp heels)
Always keep the floor dry, spills should be immediately cleaned up to prevent the timber absorbing moisture and distorting. Oil, food, drinks, and other household spills including pet accidents should also be cleaned up and wiped clean with a damp cloth to ensure staining does not occur.
Regular (aim for daily) sweeping with a soft broom and vacuuming will keep the floor free of debris preventing build up in the joins and grain where exposed. When vacuuming ensuring the head of the vacuum has felt on the underside, let’s not scratch a floor while aiming to look after it.
