Water and wood floors don’t mix ! Use only the “Toucan Eco Floors” recommended cleaning products on your hardwood floor.
Small stones, mud and gritty dirt tracked in from outside can scratch the finish of your wood floor’s finish. Use only soft bristle brush attachment.
Narrow wheels, sharp wooden legs or metal furniture legs can scratch and dent hardwood floors. Any furniture that rests directly on top of a hardwood floor should have felt protectors, or furniture coasters under all its feet.
Use non stainable doormats can help stop dirt and debr is from being tracked in on your hardwood floors.
There are many over the counter oil-based soaps and wax based cleaning products that may damage or full the finish of your wood floor. The best suggesting is to only use the manufacturers recommended cleaning products on your hardwood flooring.
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.
Use a pad or a 6mm underlayment underneath the object when moving heavy objects over your wood flooring. In new construction it is wise to cover your wood floors while still under construction, or while moving your furniture into the home.
When accidents happen and some liquid gets spilled on your hardwood floor, you should use a slightly damp white cloth, or paper towel to immediately clean up and dry the effected area. For more difficult spots, follow “Toucan Eco Floors” recommended cleaning procedure.
