The solid wood floor is absolutely not finished after paving, but also have to regularly maintain the floor. The learning sister will introduce you to the elements and Tips that are required for the maintenance of solid wood flooring. If properly maintained, the service life will be greatly extended.
waterproof

Do not use the mop or soapy water that is still on the mop to mop the floor. It will have a direct effect on the paint and the sheet (dew, moldy, dark, etc.). If you really want to use a wet mop to mop the floor, try to dry the mop to the floor. 70% dry, prevent water molecules from infiltrating the wood floor and causing moisture and mildew.

If you accidentally sprinkle water on the solid wood floor, wipe it off with a soft rag and keep it dry to avoid warping, cracking, and mildew.

Moisture-proof

In the rainy season when the humidity is too high, it is best to open the dehumidifier and use the air conditioner to control the air humidity. Floors that are damp on the ground, especially the first floor and the basement, need to have a waterproof layer on the base before laying the wooden floor. It is best to apply a waterproof coating to the boards before laying.

Sun protection

To prevent strong and prolonged sunlight exposure to the floor, so as to avoid premature aging and cracking of the paint under ultraviolet irradiation. Avoid hot and cold air blowing and baking the floor.

In the dry season, it is better to increase the humidity. The easiest way is to put a pot of water in the corner, or use a humidifier to maintain the moisture in the air, so as not to cause the wood floor to breathe too dry and crack. It is appropriate to keep the relative humidity of the air between 40% and 70%.

Fire prevention

Do not casually throw unlit objects such as cigarette butts and matchsticks on solid wood floors. Do not rub dust, dirt, etc. on the floor with gasoline, etc., so as to avoid static electricity caused by friction and cause fire.
Damage prevention

Do not wear shoes with nails to walk on solid wood floors. Some items that are rough, bulky and have high hardness cannot be directly placed on solid wood floors to prevent scratches. If this happens, it should be repaired in time.

When placing heavy objects, they should be set aside as far as possible so that the other side of the floor can move freely without causing the floor to arch. It is also necessary to provide padding for protection.

Anti-fouling

Corrosive liquids, strongly acidic and highly alkaline substances such as toilet spirits, kitchen degreasers can not be used to clean the floor; high temperature liquids or objects, prohibited direct placement on the surface of the wooden floor, so as not to damage the surface layer.

If it is a general dirt left by water-soluble substances, you can wipe off the floating dust first, and then use a soft cloth to wipe with a little thick tea. For cleaners that do not understand the chemical properties, they should not be used arbitrarily to avoid causing unnecessary chemical reactions that can cause floor damage.

If you have pets at home, be sure to look at their excrement as it will cause alkaline corrosion of the wood, resulting in discoloration and stains on the floor.
Installation and maintenance tips

Waxing

Waxing the floor can be used to prevent moisture, prevent damage, increase surface luminosity, and facilitate cleaning. Carefully clean the floor before waxing. Remove trash and dust from the floor surface first. Use a vacuum cleaner or use a diluted neutral detergent to clean it. Do not use chemicals. This can cause bad floor wax adhesion.

Daily does not need frequent waxing too many times too much, will make wax wax layer superimposed, will cause some damage to the floor. The dosage is generally 500g/80m2, and it is recommended to conduct it once every 3-6 months.

Essential oil

When using the essential oil, adjust the nozzle into a mist form 50 centimeters from the surface of the floor, spray one or two times per square meter (1-2ml/m2), wring out the wet rag with water, and spread evenly the essential oil sprayed on the floor. After 5-8 minutes, it can be polished with a polishing cloth.

Essential oils contain crystallizable silica gel, which cannot be used in excessive amounts, nor can the essential oil be sprayed in the floor seams. Otherwise, floor noise may occur after floor maintenance. After maintenance with essential oils, you usually only need to dry the floor with a dry mop.

installation

In addition, if you install the floor in summer, if you do not stay for more than one month, you need to open the window and ventilate regularly to keep the indoor air circulation and avoid the occurrence of arching, tile-like appearance due to the indoor humidity, etc.; do not cover it with plastic paper or newspapers to avoid For a long time, due to poor air permeability, the surface paint film becomes sticky and loses luster; if it is installed in the winter, the ventilation of the window can prevent the floor from contracting or cracking the floor due to long-term unoccupied.
