12 Easy Tips to Extend the Life and Improve the Beauty of Your Hardwood Floor:

Never use water or bleach to clean your hardwood floor.
Always keep floor mats at all entranceways. This will keep moisture and dirt from reaching and harming your hardwood floor. Shake out, vacuum, or wash the mats frequently.
Wipe up spills immediately. Leaving spills on your hardwood floor can cause water marks.
Rotate area rugs occasionally. Leaving area rugs in one place too long can cause uneven discoloration from sunlight. Avoid rubber-backed or non-ventilated rugs.
In order to eliminate dust and debris from accumulating, vacuum or sweep your floor regularly.
To avoid denting or scratching your floor when moving heavy furniture or appliances, place them on a large blanket before moving them.
Avoid wearing high-heels on your floor. Spiked shoes of any kind can carry a load of approximately 1,000 pounds per square inch.
Use soft or felt covered furniture protectors under all furniture.
In order to minimize the expansion and contraction of the floor, try to keep humidity at 45%.
Always use a cleaner that is recommended for hardwood floors.
You can minimize damage from pets' nails by having them trimmed on a regular basis.
Do not use wax, oil soap or other household chemicals or cleaners on your hardwood floors.
