Wood floor summer maintenance precautions
Summer is a critical season for maintaining wooden floors, as high humidity and temperature can cause various issues. To keep your wooden floor in great condition during the summer months, follow these essential tips.
First, ensure proper ventilation, especially in rooms that are not frequently used. Vacant spaces are more prone to warping and cupping due to stagnant air and moisture buildup. Regularly check and ventilate these areas to maintain a balanced environment.
Maintaining dryness and cleanliness is crucial. Avoid using wet mops or alkaline/soapy water, as they can dull the floor’s finish. If spills occur, clean them immediately. For oil stains, use a warm cloth with a little washing powder. For ink or pigment stains, act quickly before they penetrate the wood to prevent permanent damage.
It's recommended to mop the floor once a week rather than daily. When cleaning, make sure to wring out the mop thoroughly to avoid excess moisture. For dust, using a vacuum cleaner is the best option to keep the surface free from debris without introducing water.
Avoid wearing bath slippers inside wooden-floored rooms. After being in the bathroom, slippers can absorb moisture and transfer it to the floor, leading to warping or curling. Always remove slippers before entering such areas.
During rainy summers, keep windows closed if you have wooden floors. Rainwater can seep through open windows, causing unnecessary damage and increasing humidity levels indoors.
In hot and humid weather, use your air conditioner’s dehumidifier function to control indoor humidity. This helps prevent the floor from warping due to excessive moisture absorption.
If you notice any signs of warping, address the issue immediately. Don’t wait until the floor is severely damaged. Avoid walking on the affected area as much as possible to prevent further harm. Once warped, the floor may not return to its original state, so early intervention is key.
