Ten Causes of Wood Floor Damage

Wood floor maintenance is a headache, improper maintenance, renovation is a major project, but if properly maintained, it can extend the life of wood floor. The seemingly inadvertent little things in life may cause unnecessary damage to the wooden floor.
1. Accumulated water
Floor surface water, if not treated in time, will lead to discoloration of the floor, water stains and cracks and other phenomena. It should be wiped in time to keep dry.
2. Air conditioning
The humidifier will use air conditioning for a long time, the indoor air will become extremely dry, the floor is prone to contraction, which will lead to the floor gap and sound.
3. Rain
Wood flooring is essentially water-repellent. Such as rain, the floor surface will produce discoloration, cracks and other phenomena. Attention should be paid to preventing rain.
4. White and turbid
When water droplets leak to the floor, the surface of the floor will turn white. This is due to the poor durability of floor wax, the stripping of floor wax from the surface of the floor, resulting in diffuse reflection phenomenon.
5. Daylight
After direct sunlight, ultraviolet rays can cause cracks in the floor surface paint. Curtains or shutters should be used to shield and avoid direct sunlight.
6. Heater
Fan heaters, such as the floor, will crack after a long time blowing to the hot air, the surface coating will produce cracks, and the floor will shrink to produce clearances. The floor should be protected by cushions, etc.
7. Oil pollution.
Floor oil stains, if not treated in time, will produce oil stains and discoloration and other phenomena. Cleaner and water should be used to wipe carefully and then wax.
8. Medicament
The floor is covered with chemicals and should be wiped with detergent/sink water in time. After wiping, the surface gloss of the floor will be reduced, so it should be waxed and maintained in time.
9. Pets
Pet waste can cause alkaline corrosion of wood, discoloration of floors and stains.
10. Chairs
In order to minimize dents and scratches, and maintain the beauty of the floor for a long time, it is suggested that the chair foot cover be covered with cushions or pad under the chair.
