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.
