Why maintaining real wood floors is a worthwhile investment

Sept. 21, 2011 - PRLog -- Homeowners who have wooden flooring fitted in their homes have been criticised by the manufacturers of wooden floors for neglecting to carry out the essential maintenance that is needed to keep the wood floors in good condition.  Because of this, the solid oak floors and other real wood floors are needing to be replaced much sooner than necessary, as they are being worn much quicker then if they were maintained properly.

Though some people who have wood floors in their homes do make the time and take the effort to Hoover or sweep their wooden flooring, in many cases this happens less and less once the novelty of having a new wood floor has worn off.  As well as carrying out the day to day maintenance, wood floors also need to be cleaned properly from time to time, to remove any dirt which cannot be quickly swept up.

While wood flooring is relatively easy to keep looking good, provided the right maintenance is carried out, carpets are somewhat more complicated to keep clean- which is a definite advantage of having a solid wood floor fitted in your home rather than having carpeting!

Though carpets need a vacuum on a weekly basis, they will also benefit from a deep cleaning treatment to penetrate and lift any stubborn stains and marks. Even if your carpeting isn’t stained it will still look much brighter and cleaner as a shampoo treatment will restore it to its original shade.  

Hiring a professional to clean your carpets and hardwood flooring can be an expensive task, however there is a wide range of flooring supplies available to buy on the market that you can use to do the job yourself.  There are products and flooring accessories which have been specially formulated to suit different types of flooring and finishes, making it crucial that you read the small print to make sure that you have selected the right product for your hardwood flooring.  While buying flooring accessories to clean and maintain your hardwood flooring may be an additional cost to purchasing your hardwood floor, investing in these products will pay off in the long run.  

And taking the time to clean your hardwood flooring may feel like a chore, but in doing so it means that your hardwood flooring will look beautiful for many more years.
