1.
Keep grit off the floor
by using dirt-trapping,
walk off mats at all exterior doors to help prevent dirt
and grit from getting on the floor, and keep doormats clean.
Throw rugs inside the entrances are also helpful.
2.
Put fabric-faced glides
(preferably felt) on the legs of furniture. They
allow furniture to be moved easily without scuffing the
floor. Clean the guides regularly since grit can become
embedded in them.
3.
Vacuum floor regularly using
a brush attachment. You may also use a dust mop daily or
as needed.
4.
Wipe up spills promptly
with a dry cloth or paper
towel. Use slightly dampened cloth for sticky spills.
5.
It is good practice to keep
your floor as clean as possible. When
cleaning is needed, add one cup of white vinegar to one
gallon of warm water. Dip in a clean cloth or sponge mop
into mixture and wring nearly DRY before mopping. (NEVER
leave puddles or too much water on the floor.)
6.
Do not use any kind of chemicals
or abrasive cleaners when
mopping floor. Floor should be mopped with the vinegar and
warm water mixture listed above. Never use any kind of polish
such as Pledge or Endust on floor, or any other wax type
cleaners.
7.
Never wax a polyurethane
finish floor. Once waxed
the floor will have to be completely sanded down to raw
wood to restore the floor.
