Floor maintenance and care – New

Although your hardwood flooring will show signs of wear over time, proper maintenance and care will increase the longevity and overall aesthetic of your floors.
Is life preventing your floors from looking their best? Between children, pets, furniture scratches, and general use, your floors will slowly start to show signs of wear over time.

Early intervention is the key to good maintenance practices. The Natural Wood Floors team uses the highest-quality machines—including our brand-new scrubber—to deep clean and rejuvenate your floors, keeping them looking as fresh as the day they were installed.

Recoating

Re-coating should be part of your long term maintenance plan.

A simple cut back and top coat extends the life of your floor and can bring it back to near new again. Keep in mind, this should be done before your floor shows signs of excess wear, it should be viewed as preventative maintenance as only a full re-sand can remove deeper scratches and marks.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between engineered floors and hardwood floors?
Solid hardwood floors are made from solid wood and are site-finished. Engineered flooring is made from a single piece of hardwood or plywood with a layer of hardwood veneer affixed to the top surface and is usually pre-finished.
How often should I clean my floors?
This depends on the foot traffic within your home, but you should sweep and vacuum regularly to remove grit. Mopping should be done no more than twice per week. You must use the recommended cleaning instructions advised by your contractor.
What kind of maintenance should I be undertaking?

Heavy furniture can leave marks on solid wood floors or engineered flooring. We advise using protective pads on the bottom of all furniture to avoid any marks. Please note – plastic casters may also leave marks. Avoid these to reduce scratching and scuffing.

 

No wooden floors are immune to scratches and dents, but there are a few extra things you can do to maintain your floor:

 

  • Wipe up any spills immediately – these can potentially stain the floor and/or impact the finish if left unchecked.
  • Place doormats and rugs at entrances and exits.
  • Make sure your furniture pads are properly maintained, these will need to be replaced from time to time.
  • Keep in mind that high-heeled shoes can cause dents.
  • Rearrange furniture and rugs regularly – particularly those that are exposed to a lot of sunlight to ensure the floor is exposed evenly.

Absolutely the best service I’ve ever seen (and I used to be a tradie).Got the quote done in the evening. Early morning, they were back with 3 people. The day after they were done (2.5 days total to do deep sanding, and 3 layers).My floor was in a really bad state (to the point I was considering putting floating floor on top of the hard wood), and it was really dark (as per the 2 photos). They brightened it up, and smoothed it outWould 100% recommend these guys, and will 100% use them again. The entire house feels more modern now, and is substantially brighter inside. In fact, the hardwood flooring looks 100% better than the floating floors I installed (and I am so happy I went this approach).Thanks guys.
