Be Aware of Liquids: Wood is a living substance that reacts accordingly to its environment; a presence of moisture will cause wood to expand, while drier climates will cause wood to contract.  Be especially careful of spilling liquids on your floors!  Hardwood flooring will absorb liquid, which can cause your floors to rot or buckle over time.  Some hardwood floors have water-resistant finishes, but liquids can still seep through the cracks.  Remember to soak up any spilled liquids immediately.

Be Careful of Furniture: Furniture fixtures such as couches our chairs often will have heels or glides on their feet, which allow for better movement across surfaces.  Unfortunately, these heels can scuff, tear and dent hardwood flooring.  It is best to distribute the weight of the furniture across wider feet, which can be achieved by using rollers of flat plastic cups.

Keep Your Floors Clean:  Immediately clean up after any spills with a washcloth.  For daily maintenance, vacuum or sweep up any dust and dirty.  Residual dirt and grit can scuff up hardwood flooring, causing it to lose its sheen.  When using cleaners, use only manufacturer-approved products.
