Proper Care for Parquet Flooring

Parquet flooring in interior design is one of the most beautiful floor coverings. Like all products made from natural materials, such flooring requires careful and thorough care. With proper care, the floor covering will serve for many years.

The process of caring for parquet flooring is not complicated at all. Care for oil and oil-wax finishes is quite simple and does not require any special effort.

Let us consider several recommendations for maintaining the beautiful appearance of parquet flooring. Even at the stage of installing parquet flooring, pay attention to the humidity in the room if you want to have a floor that will serve for a long time. A humidity level of 40% to 60% is optimal for rooms with parquet flooring, so it is advisable to monitor this indicator not only during the floor installation stage, but at all times.
Also, specialists recommend leaving the covering in the room where it will be installed for at least one day before installation. This way, the floor adapts to the conditions in which it will be used.

The next recommendation to follow is related to adding a small amount of oil finish care product to the bucket of water during wet cleaning, which softens the water and removes dirt well. Also, the cleanliness of parquet flooring can be maintained simply by vacuuming, sweeping, and periodically wiping with a slightly damp cloth. However, excess water when washing the floor can lead not only to loss of coating shine, but also to worse consequences.

Always use pads under heavy furniture and protective mats for chairs with wheels.

Also, using parquet flooring with shoes on heels will negatively affect the appearance of the floor. It is necessary to minimize contact of the wooden covering with walking in hard soles or on heels and not abuse such things. Be careful with the covering to extend its service life, avoid dropping heavy objects on the parquet flooring, and clean any stains or spilled liquid as soon as you notice them.

By following these simple rules, you will be able to maintain the perfect appearance of parquet flooring for many years.
