Home is warm, and in winter, the future sunshine floor should also be taken care of with care
Warmth is an eternal theme, an irreplaceable person, a steaming hot food, and a home paved with future sunshine are enough to make time slow and gentle. In winter, due to low temperatures and large temperature differences between indoors and outdoors, the maintenance of wooden flooring is particularly important. The correct maintenance method can not only maintain the beauty of the floor, but also extend its service life.
1. Control indoor humidity
Winter heating can cause indoor air to become dry, and low humidity can cause the wooden floor to shrink and create gaps. Therefore, maintaining appropriate indoor humidity is the key to winter floor maintenance.
-Using a humidifier: Place a humidifier indoors to increase air humidity and prevent wooden floors from drying and cracking.
-Placing a water basin: Place a water basin near the heating system to increase humidity through natural evaporation.
-Avoid excessive humidification: Excessive humidity can cause the wooden floor to expand, so it is necessary to humidify moderately and maintain the humidity between 40% -60%.
2. Avoid direct sunlight and heat sources
Long periods of direct sunlight or close proximity to heat sources (such as radiators) can cause localized overheating of wooden floors, leading to deformation, cracking, or fading.
-Use curtains or blinds to block sunlight and reduce direct sunlight.
-Maintain a distance between furniture and heat sources to avoid uneven heating of wooden floors.
-Use insulation pads between the heat source and the floor, such as placing insulation pads under radiators.
3. Regular cleaning
Dust and stains are prone to accumulate in winter, and regular cleaning can maintain the appearance of the floor and extend its service life.
-Use a soft bristled broom or vacuum cleaner to remove dust.
-For stains, cleaning agents suitable for wooden floors should be used to avoid the use of corrosive chemicals.
-After cleaning, dry with a dry cloth to avoid residual moisture.
4. Avoid scratching and heavy pressure
Sharp objects and heavy objects can cause damage to wooden flooring.
-Use anti slip or soft pads under furniture feet to reduce friction.
-Avoid walking on the floor in shoes with hard soles.
-Be careful when handling heavy objects to avoid scratching the floor.
5. Proper waxing care
Waxing can provide an additional protective layer for wooden flooring, reduce water loss, and increase gloss.
-Choose a specialized wax suitable for wooden flooring.
-Ensure that the floor is clean and dust-free before waxing.
6. Handle floor gaps
If cracks are found on the floor, they should be dealt with promptly to prevent further expansion.
-Clean the dust and debris in the gaps.
-Use specialized sealant for filling.
-If the gap is large, it may require professional repair.
7. Avoid wiping directly with a wet mop
Wet mops may allow moisture to seep into the interior of the wood, causing deformation or mold.
-Wipe with a slightly damp mop and immediately dry with a dry cloth.
-If cleaning agents are needed, they should be diluted before use and ensure that the floor is dry.
Through these measures, future sunlit wooden flooring can be effectively protected from the harsh winter environment, maintaining its aesthetics and extending its service life. Future Sunshine Flooring is willing to fight against the cold with you, and may everyone be able to spend this winter warm.
