Regular cleaning of hardwood floors is necessary to retain their warmth and character but the cleaning needn’t be an onerous task.

Cleaning hardwood floors also includes taking care of them; this means not dragging furniture or heavy items across them without first protecting the floor. Before moving furniture you should clean the floor and then move the item on furniture pads which will let you glide it across the floor without scratching it.

You might want to consider using area rugs or carpet runners in high traffic areas. This will reduce wear and tear on the floor and also assist in preventing scratches. Vacuum any rugs regularly to prevent grit and dirt from working its way through the rug and scratching the floor.

Stick-on furniture pads can be placed under the legs of tables and chairs to protect your hardwood floor and one final word on protecting your floor: avoid stiletto heels! They can cause dents.
