Quality timber flooring products can last a lifetime and some basic maintenance steps always keep a timber floor looking better for longer.

All timber floors mark, dent and scratch from time to time. The use of felt floor protectors under furniture and dirt trapping mats at external entrances helps to keep scratching and premature wear to a minimum.Sweep or vacuum your timber floor regularly to remove grit and small stones. These can scratch and abrade your timber floors.

When washing your floor, use a barely damp mop and the recommended floor cleaner.When the coating on your floor begins to show signs of wear, it is advisable to re-coat your floor.

Re-coating is usually required every 5 - 10 years in most homes, depending on the level of traffic and wear and tear your floors are exposed to. In commercial areas, floors may need re-coating more regularly.Call Andersens Carpet Cleaning Services to obtain a quote for this service on 1300 664 843.
