LEAVE YOUR SHOES AT THE DOOR
The first thing you can do for your wood floor is get a good door mat to clean and dry shoes before coming in. Our best advice is to live like the Swedes and leave your shoes at the door! This makes cleaning a breeze since your floor likely won't need to be cleaned with our cleaner very often. Rather, it will just need to be vacuumed periodically.
LIGHT FLOORS NEED MORE ATTENTION
If you have light wood floors, you’ll need to clean them a little more often because they are more prone to show wear. Dirt can get down into the cracks of board edges or into the brushing of the floor finish. Like we say above, our best advice is to live like the Swedes and leave your shoes at the door!
CLEANING HARDWOOD FLOORS
Dry cleaning is the best way to clean hardwood floors. Vacuum and clean with a broom regularly and occasionally use a damp, well-wrung-out cloth/mop. Only dampen the floor slightly. The film of water left by the floor cloth must dry within a minute. For best results, use Kährs Spray Cleaner.
OILED FLOORS MAINTENANCE TIPS
Oiled floors should be re-oiled immediately after installation and prior to use with Kährs Satin Oil. We recommend re-oiling the floor once a year in high wear and tear areas like kitchens for example. Read our detailed instructions here.
