Importance of Maintenance
Unlike most floor coverings, wood floors are a
long-term investment that, correctly maintained,
will last the lifetime of the home. Fortunately
for consumers, today’s wood floors offer a
wide spectrum of product options that are easy to
maintain. Unlike times past, when people had to
get down on their knees to buff their wax floors,
taking care of wood floors today requires little
effort. The routine maintenance involves protecting
the finish from scratches and moisture. If consumers
avoid both of those things, they’ve got a
handle on most of their wood floor care.
