Never Wax a Urethane Floor
If your hardwood floors has a polyurethane finish never use a paste wax on the floor’s surface. A paste wax may form a sticky film on your floor and allow tracked in dirt to stick to your wood finish.

Never Slide Heavy Objects Directly Over Your Wood Floor

Use a pad or a 6mm underlayment underneath the object when moving heavy objects over your wood flooring. It is wise to cover your wood floors while still under construction, or while moving your furniture into the home.
