Protecting Hardwood floors



Protecting Hardwood floors from furniture weight
With a proper cleaning and maintenance, your hardwood floors should retain their shape and luster for years to come. However, because wood is more easily damaged than linoleum or carpeting, you should be cautions in protecting hardwood floors from heavy objects such as furniture or other decorating materials.
Maintaining
     Properly cleaning and maintaining your hardwood floors will help them to retain their strength, reducing the potential for damage. Place no rubber  floor mats at entrances and move them while cleaning to let the hardwood "breathe." Keep floors clear of dust and debris by vacuuming regularly with the soft brush attachment. Refinish hardwood floors every four to five years, or however frequently flooring specialists recommend the service.

Protection from heavy objects such as furniture or decorating statues

Attach cork pads and felt padding to the bottom of all furniture legs. When moving furniture, place a barrier such as a sheet of thin plywood or felt between the furniture and the floor. Use a dolly when moving furniture.
