HARDWOOD FLOORING CARE AND CLEANING TIPS

PROPER CARE AND MAINTENANCE WILL HELP ENSURE YOUR FLOOR

ALWAYS LOOKS ITS BEST. SIMPLY FOLLOW OUR MAINTENANCE AND

PREVENTION STEPS OUTLINED BELOW.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE GUIDELINES:

For all Bruce

Hardwood Floors

1. DO NOT CLEAN WITH WATER OR STEAM. This may permanently damage the ﬂoor.

2. Area rugs are recommended in front of kitchen sinks, at all pivot points and within high-trafﬁc areas. Don’t use rugs with solid rubber or

vinyl backings. The rugs must be made of a breathable material to prevent moisture entrapment.

3. Use interior and exterior doormats at all entrances to collect dirt and moisture and prevent it from being tracked onto the ﬂoor.

4. Protect your ﬂoor from direct sunlight. Use curtains and UV resistant ﬁlm on large glass doors and windows. Move area rugs occasionally

as they block sunlight and may give the appearance of discoloring under the rug.

5. Keep animal nails trimmed to minimize ﬁnish scratches.

6. DON’T wear shoes with spike heels or heel taps on your hardwood ﬂoor. Remove shoes at the door to avoid potentially dragging in sharp

objects in your shoes treads.

7. Do not roll or slide heavy objects directly upon the ﬂoor. When moving appliances or heavy furniture, lay a plywood panel on your ﬂoor and

gently “walk” the item across it. Carpet or cardboard is not adequate to prevent surface compression scratches.

8. Use ﬂoor protectors or protective caster/caster cups on the legs of furniture to prevent damage to the ﬂooring. Make certain to keep them

clean and well maintained.

9. Certain types of casters on furniture may damage hardwood ﬂooring. Barrel-type caster wheels or wide, ﬂat glides are best for protecting

your hardwood ﬂoor. If your furniture does not have the right type of caster, we recommend that you change them. Replace hard, narrow

furniture rollers with wide rubber rollers.

10. Keep the relative humidity in your home between 35% and 55%.

HUMIDITY’S IMPACT ON YOUR FLOOR: To protect your investment and ensure that your floor provides lasting satisfaction, the following precautions should be taken to help control humidity levels in and around your floor. For best results, keep the relative humidity in your home between 35% and 55%. • Heating Season (Dry Conditions) – a humidifier is recommended to prevent excessive shrinkage in hardwood floors, which causes gaps between the boards, due to low humidity levels.

Minor Abrasions/Scratches • Use a Bruce® Touch-Up Kit or Bruce® Acrylic Filler, that blends with your factory stained floor color to make minor repairs. • Apply Bruce® Fresh Finish™ to recondition larger areas.
