Cleaning
Cleaning your floor is important and it depends on the environment of your home. If you have kids and pets at home then you need to clean it more often to prevent scratches. Use a vacuum cleaner without a beater bar.
Water is an enemy of hard wood floors. Never put water directly on the floor instead use a damp mop if it is recommended by the professionals who installed your flooring or by the experts at the local hardware store.
Wipe away liquid spills immediately, else they penetrate and damage the flooring.
