Keeping hardwood floors clean is a difficult task. If you have hardwood floors in your home, but don't know how to properly clean it this is your lucky day because I created this blog post specifically for you.Read the following tips and put them into action.

1. Protect It From Water

Water can ruin hardwood floors by seeping inside it. This causes staining.That is why it's important to wipe up spilled water, close windows when it's raining, and put a tray under plant pots in case of leaking.

2. Use No-Wax Cleaner

The best wood floor cleaners are the No-Wax version. You should use this cleaner to clean up dirt and spills. Also, it is important to note that any type of spill found on the floor should be cleaned up immediately.First, wipe the spill up with a paper towel or rag. Second, apply the wood floor cleaner. It's imperative that you clean up spills as fast as possible to prevent your finish from being damaged or the floor from being stained.

3. Get A Big Door Mat

One of the most common ways dirt and other substances get tracked inside a house is through shoes. The best option is always taking your shoes off as soon as you enter the house, but some people don't always follow that rule. That is why you should keep a big doormat in front of the door, so people can wipe off their feet as soon as they walk through the door.In addition, even if an individual doesn't stop to wipe their feet, the big doormat ensures that residue on people's footwear will rub off.

4. Get A Long Rug

To protect a wood floor's finish, you should put a rug on areas that people walk on a lot. This will prevent wear and tear from occurring on your hard floor. Moreover, make sure the backing of your rug isn't rubber or vinyl. These types of backings soak up moisture and will run your floor's finish.
