Finally, rare woods like cherry or sandalwood are more expensive than traditional hardwood like oak or maple. Let the experts at Hardwood Plus find you the best flooring options in your budget!

Hardwood Flooring Maintenance

Hardwood floors need to be properly cared for if you want them to last. They are prone to scratching and water damage. To clean wood floors, use an oil-based wood floor cleaning soap. Try to clean up spills as soon as they happen instead of leaving them to evaporate or be absorbed by the wood. When you vacuum, avoid using the beater bar because it can cause scratches. Every few years, you may be interested in refinishing your wood floors. Refinishing is a process where the top layer of the wood is buffed and restrained to reveal almost brand new
looking floors.
