Hardwood Floor Refiniishing: Applying a Sealer</h2>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px;">
As we covered previously, <a data-mce-href="http://cleanrestoreprotect.com/?p=467" href="http://cleanrestoreprotect.com/?p=467">a base coat sealer should be used before the polyurethane finish to avoid discoloration</a>. Your base coat will take about three hours to dry if you pick water-based polyurethane, and closer to eight hours if you decide to use oil-based polyurethane. You'll need to work more quickly to avoid unsightly lap marks with water-based polyurethane, but the overall restoration will take less time.</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px;">
Since oil-based polyurethane takes longer to dry, it's much more forgiving when it comes to correcting mistakes; for this reason oil-based polyurethane is sometimes recommended for first-timers.An oil-based polyurethane will turn an amber color as it ages, whereas a water-based polyurethane will stay clear and preserve the original color of your hardwood floor. Water-based polyurethane also produces fewer noxious fumes than oil-based polyurethane. Although neither finisher is a poor choice, consider your experience and time constraints before making your selection for your <em>hardwood floor refinishing project</em>.</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px;">
Once your base coat is dry, apply two more coats of finisher, adhering to the above-mentioned drying times. Once your first coat of finisher is dry you have the option to re-sand and re-vacuum for the smoothest possible finish, but don't sand your final coat. Professionals recommend refinishing your floor every two years or whenever it starts to look worn.</div>
<h3 style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif;">
Why a Hardwood Floor Refinishing Service May be a Better Choice</h3>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px;">
A hardwood floor refinishing service may be a better answer as they have all of the equipment, the chemicals, and most importantly of all, the experience. How important is experience in hardwood floor refinishing? Well, first off, do you know what brand of sealer to apply? How about where to get it? What will you do if something goes wrong? A professional service wouldn't even balk at such a project. They'd get started immediately and guarantee their work. This is crucial for one reason. Have you priced a new hardwood floor lately? Here's a spoiler. They are kind of expensive. Oh you could go cheap, and go for laminate or some other floor choice, but an honest to goodness hardwood floor will set you back several thousand dollars.</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px;">
In addition, not only will their experience help you, it will help you to relax and not do hours of backbreaking work. So remember, the key is how to use your money. It's better to use your money<br />to <span data-mce-style="text-decoration: underline;" style="text-decoration: underline;">hire a hardwood floor cleaning service</span> instead.<br /><strong>Morris Cleaning & Restoration</strong><br /><strong>1007 N.Sepulveda Blvd. #1204</strong><br /><strong>Manhattan Beach, CA 90267</strong><br /><strong>(310) 545-8750</strong><br /><strong><a data-mce-href="http://cleanrestoreprotect.com/contact/" href="http://cleanrestoreprotect.com/contact/">Contact Us</a></strong></div>

Hardwood Floor Cleaning and Refinishing</h2>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px;">
One benefit that a <em>hardwood cleaning service</em> can offer you is hardwood floor refinishing.</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px;">
Want to dress up your hardwood floors and increase the value of your home? Sanding and refinishing a hardwood floor without hiring a professional is an affordable option, that often costs between $125 -$250 for a 15-by-15ft room. That expense covers the cost of sandpaper, a drum sander, an orbital sander, and a polyurethane finish.</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px;">
First sand the floor down to bare wood, using a drum sander. Sanders can be rented from most home improvement stores, like Lowe's or Home Depot. Most floors need to be sanded several times in order to remove the old finish. We recommend using progressively smaller sandpaper grits, starting with 36 grit, before moving to 60 grit, and finally 80 grit.</div>
<h3 style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif;">
More Hardwood Floor Refinishing Tips</h3>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px;">
You'll want to start with the drum sander, then go over the hard-to-reach places like corners and edges with a smaller, orbital sander. It's also a good idea to vacuum between each sanding to get rid of the dust. After vacuuming, dampen a cotton cloth with mineral spirits and wipe down the whole floor to make sure no lingering dust sticks to the new finish. Start in the area furthest away from the door to avoid getting trapped in a corner. You will only need to wait a few minutes for the mineral spirits to dry before proceeding with the base coat. This is why a <a data-mce-href="http://cleanrestoreprotect.com/?p=323" href="http://cleanrestoreprotect.com/?p=323">hardwood floor refinishing service</a> may be a better idea. There's a lot to know.</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px;">
A base coat sealer should be used before the polyurethane finish to avoid discoloration. With a 4 inch paintbrush, line the perimeter of the room with a base coat sealer before covering the rest of the floor. Apply the sealer in the same direction as the wood grain from wall to wall for the most even results. Remember to work slowly to avoid creating bubbles, which will remain in your base coat and be visible though your finishing coats.You'll want to use long-handled synthetic finish applicator to smooth out your base coat before letting it dry. Wait about two hours before proceeding with the next step.<br />For your finish, you can choose either a water-based polyurethane, or an oil-based polyurethane.</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px;">
Sounds like an awful lot of work. You might want to call a <span data-mce-style="text-decoration: underline;" style="text-decoration: underline;">hardwood floor refinishing service in Manhattan Beach</span> instead.</div>

Hardwood Floor Cleaning Services: Hiring the Best Ones</h2>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px;">
<a data-mce-href="http://cleanrestoreprotect.com/hardwood-floor-cleaning-in-the-south-bay-protecting-your-investment/" data-mce-style="text-decoration: none;" href="http://cleanrestoreprotect.com/hardwood-floor-cleaning-in-the-south-bay-protecting-your-investment/" style="text-decoration: none;">Continuing information from our previous list</a>, make sure that the hardwood floor cleaning service uses the right cleaning methods and solutions. To prevent any damages on the wooden surface, any solutions used should not contain any alkaline or ammonia. Bleach should also be avoided.</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px;">
The <em>hardwood floor cleaning service in South Bay</em> should also avoid using any oil based sprays and soaps like those used for spring-cleaning furniture. Why? Well, this is because oil tends to make the flooring surface slippery. In addition, it makes it difficult for you to re-coat the surface with vanish. While they provide a temporary shine and luster, wax and oil based cleaning products also leave behind residue that eventually dulls the shine of your floor. Wax and oil attract dirt, which makes your floor look grimy. Therefore, ensure that the hardwood floor restoration service uses cleaning products that are recommended by the manufacturer or a hardwood flooring expert.</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px;">
As with other types of contract work, it is important for homeowners to put in adequate time into hiring the <a data-mce-href="http://cleanrestoreprotect.com/contact/" data-mce-style="text-decoration: none;" href="http://cleanrestoreprotect.com/contact/" style="text-decoration: none;">best hardwood floor cleaning company</a>. For excellent results, property owners should determine the number of times they want the cleaners to come every month, their budget and the number of hours that the company should take to complete the work. This will ensure that they get excellent hardwood floor cleaning services.</div>
<h3 style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif;">
Hardwood Floor Cleaning in the South Bay: Final Thoughts</h3>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px;">
You want to make sure that you know what type of floor you have. Make sure that it is truly a hardwood floor and not a wood laminate. While there are some universal care regimens for floors, such as avoiding harsh chemicals, and sweeping, there are other things specific to each type of wood your floor is made of.</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px;">
Teak, for example, is naturally oily, so in keeping with what we posted above, don't use wax or oil based cleaning products on your teak floor. You also want to make sure that you put mats, or rugs at the entrance to every room with hardwood floors. This will help to trap grit between visits from your cleaning service.</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px;">
Ultimately, go with the company that can do the job. Hire a<span data-mce-style="text-decoration: underline;" style="text-decoration: underline;"> hardwood floor cleaning service in Los Angeles</span>.</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px;">

Hardwood Floor Cleaning: Vinegar, Yes or No?</h2>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px;">
There are a lot of myths out there regarding <em>hardwood floor cleaning</em>. One site will proclaim the benefits of a good floor waxing, while another site will tell you to avoid it at all costs. With so much misinformation out there, it's hard to know which things are true and which things aren't. Let's start with white vinegar.<br /></div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px;">
White vinegar is great for cleaning your hardwood floor. This one is actually true. A bit of white vinegar mixed in with some water is very effective in cleaning your hardwood floor between visits from a hardwood floor cleaning service. The key to this one working the best, however, is to get your mixture right. You want it to be mostly water, with just a little bit of white vinegar mixed in. You also want to spray the mixture onto a cleaning cloth rather than directly onto the floor. Large amounts of moisture should always be avoided on any wood floor as water can cause your floor boards to warp. There is another problem with too high a vinegar content in your mixture. Your floor will end up smelling like salad dressing or pickles. Another thing that you must be aware of, and this may sound like a no brainer, but only use distilled white vinegar. Any other type of vinegar may have things in it that causes your floor to stain. That pretty much covers vinegar, but what about wax or oil?</div>
<h3 style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif;">
Should I Use Floor Wax or Oil on a Hardwood Floor</h3>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px;">
Should you use floor wax or oil on a hardwood floor? In a word, no. Why? Well, several reasons. First off, you could end up in a nasty household accident. If you use oil or wax on a hardwood floor, you're going to increase the slip factor of the wood, making an accident all the more likely. In the case of a naturally oily wood like teak, the slippage will be even more pronounced. However, there is another reason not to use oil. Using wax on a hardwood floor causes residue to build over time to the point that the finish on your hardwood floor will be dulled.</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px;">
At that point, your only real option is to call for professional hardwood floor refinishing. So remember, you want to protect your hardwood floor.<br /></div>

Hardwood Floors and Why You Should Restore Them</h2>

<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;">
Let's say you bought a home in Manhattan Beach. You got it for a fairly good price, except for one thing: the hardwood floors. They're scratched up, and dingy looking. You're probably itching to have them yanked out and replaced with something newer, hipper, and much more you, right? Wrong! Have you ever heard of "sticker shock?" That's when you have a goal in mind and have to put it on hold when you see how much it is actually going to cost you. Unless you're going for a cheap and less than pretty solution such as linoleum or a cheap laminate, new flooring is very expensive, especially new hardwood flooring. That's where a <em>professional hardwood floor restoration service</em> comes in.</div>

Your best choice, therefore, is hardwood floor restoration. Another benefit of it is that it will make your flooring more attractive.</div>

What Can Damage a Hardwood Floor?</h2>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;">
<em>What can damage a hardwood floor?</em> Turns out a lot of things can. A woman's shoe that has a bit of the heel wearing out can really gouge a floor to the point of severe damage, as can a man's steel toed boot. If your dog or cat drags something, it can cause damage as can your pet's claws. That's why you want to protect your floor as well as clean it.</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;">
Although modern floors that are sealed with urethane are more durable than those with wax finishes, they are still vulnerable to scratches. Professional hardwood floor cleaning practices include some between visit tips.</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;">
For example, it's best to dry mop or vacuum your hardwood floors to keep them clean, and spot clean when necessary. The rules change slightly if you have laminate wood flooring. </div>
<h3 style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; line-height: 19px;">
How to Handle Laminate Flooring</h3>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;">
The easiest 'hardwood' to clean is engineered or laminate flooring, which really isn't hardwood at all, but a floor constructed to mimic the look of wood. Unlike authentic hardwood, damp mops or cloths can be used to clean this flooring with a much smaller risk of damage. Vacuuming or dry mopping should be done first before damp mopping to remove dirt and debris. It's important to note that even though laminate or engineered hardwood can have a damp cloth applied, like actual hardwood floor cleaning, very little water should be used, and immediate drying should be done after cleaning to avoid damage to the floor's surface.</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;">
So remember, you don't ever want to wet mop any sort of wood or wood-based floor. Instead, remember to damp mop and sweep.

Hardwood Floor Cleaning and Restoration: Clear Up the Confusion</h2>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;">
Part of the confusion where <em>hardwood floor cleaning</em> is concerned is due to the increasing types and variations of hardwood, as well as the different finishes and sealants that can be applied to this type of flooring. It is imperative that the proper equipment, cleaning solutions and method of cleaning are employed in order to clean your floors and maintain their integrity at the same time. The following are some of the different variations of hardwood floors, and the applicable professional hardwood floor cleaning methods for each.<br />
• Classic hardwood floor cleaning<br />
More recent hardwood is easier to clean and more durable thanks to the types of sealants that are used. However, in many older homes where original, classic hardwood flooring still exists, cleaning can be a bit more difficult. Since this type of flooring is sensitive to any moisture and liquids, you have to be very careful with the amount of cleaning solutions used. The first thing that should be done is remove any dust or dirt from the floor by vacuuming or mopping with a dry cloth in order to avoid scratches that the dirt and debris can potentially cause. Mopping with a wet or damp cloth is not recommended, as any residue left behind can cause damage to the floor. Professional hardwood floor cleaning include buffing and re-waxing to maintain their cleanliness and luster.<br />
• Urethane-Sealed Hardwood Floor Cleaning<br />
More modern hardwood flooring is typically sealed with urethane, which makes them a little easier to clean than their classic hardwood counterparts. However, as with the classic hardwood, using a wet or damp mop or cloth is not recommended as moisture can damage this type of flooring as well. Waxing is also not recommended, as it can ruin the floor's finish. If you do end up ruining your floor's finish, then there is nothing left to do but get restoration work done.</div>

Hardwood Floor Restoration: When to Call</h3>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;">
If your floor's finish is well, finished, then that's the time to call a professional hardwood floor restoration service. By no means should you ever try to restore your floor on your own. You could end up doing more damage to your floor.</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;">

Why Bamboo Flooring is Taking Off</h2>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 1.3em;">
<em>Why buy bamboo flooring? </em>Well, for one thing it is about 70% cheaper than other floor types such as oak, teak, walnut or hickory. In addition, it is much more ecologically sound. One of the biggest environmental problems that we are going to be facing in the 21st Century is deforestation. Without trees, the amount of carbon dioxide increases in the atmosphere. So cutting down teak to make wood adds to this problem. However, with bamboo, it grows incredibly fast, and as a result, can be re-established a lot quicker.</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 1.3em;">
In fact, according to this article from the New York Times: "bamboo is popular with some designers because of its sleek appearance. It is “more subtle, less ‘knotty’ ” than other wood, said Roger Ferris, an architect in Westport, Conn. “It’s not something you’re typically used to seeing. That makes it really suitable for contemporary and modern design schemes. Steve Appolloni, a designer in Albuquerque, N.M., likes it for its “durability, cost, eco-friendly qualities and, depending on the source, its thickness and quality. "Bamboo is much denser than oak, Mr. Appolloni said, so it makes for a stronger floor that doesn’t warp as much. It is also less expensive than many other woods. (The average bamboo floor costs about $5 to $7 a square foot, not including installation, whereas walnut or pine can cost nearly $10 a square foot.) Because bamboo plants take only about five years to mature, unlike many trees, which can take 50 years or more, bamboo is environmentally sustainable. Like most woods, though, it can vary in quality, depending on the manufacturer and the finishing technique. Solid bamboo floors, which are the most durable, tend to be more expensive, and can cost as much as $9 a square foot. Engineered bamboo floors, which have multiple layers, can run as low as $3 a square foot, but the quality might not be as high."

First off, there is one thing we have to point out. Technically bamboo is not a wood, it is actually more closely related to grass. As a result, it is a lot more fibrous than regular wood is and as such, if you wish to do hardwood floor refinishing on it, you must use more than the usual caution. You could find yourself tearing up the bamboo and shredding it.</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 1.3em;">
So remember, whether you have oak, hickory or bamboo, take care of your floor. And when in doubt, call in a professional<span style="text-decoration: underline;"> hardwood floor cleaning service in Los Angeles</span>. </div>

Hardwood Floors: More than One Type of Oak</h2>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 1.3em;">
Oak floors convey elegance and comfort at the same time. What most people don't know is that most of the oak flooring is made of one of three types of oak. If you have oak in your home it is either white oak, red oak, or black oak. Here is some information regarding oak from WIKIPEDIA.ORG: "Oak wood has a density of about 0.75 g/cm3, great strength and hardness, and is very resistant to insect and fungal attack because of its high tannin content. It also has very appealing grain markings, particularly when quartersawn. [<a data-mce-href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oak" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oak">READ SOURCE ARTICLE</a>]</div>

If you have a home with <em>solid oak flooring</em>, then you must know by now that it is worth a small fortune. And it is worth the price. Oak flooring brightens any room up. It is tough, durable, and keeps its looks for a long time. it is fairly easy to take care of, and clean. Another great benefit of oak flooring is increases your home's resale value. So with that said, make sure that you take proper care of it. </div>

<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 1.3em;">
Despite the fact that it is tough and durable, like all hardwoods, you must take care of it the right way. You either need to call in a hardwood floor cleaning service, or if you do it yourself, make sure you don't use harsh chemicals like bleach. You also want to avoid using anything oil based like furniture polish as it can leave a residue behind. Never wet mop your oak floor. Harsh chemicals can bleach your wood or even cause parts of it to dissolve, particularly softer sections. In addition, chemicals such as bleach can strip the finishing off the floor as well, and leave the floor vulnerable to stains, scratches and pits. </div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 1.3em;">
So remember, your oak floor is more than just floor. So whether you have oak plank flooring or solid oak, you want to make sure that you take care of it. It is an investment in your home both for now and for the future. Sweep it lightly once a week, and make sure you have mats at the entry points. Clean up spills immediately, and make sure you have a professional hardwood floor cleaning service come in every now and then to <span style="text-decoration: underline;">seal your hardwood floor</span>. </div>

Why Hire a Hardwood Floor Refinishing Service? </h2>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 1.3em;">
<em>Why hire a hardwood floor refinishing service? </em>For one, they are going to know what type of floor you have. Laminate flooring requires far different care than floor that is solid wood. You have to be careful what you use on a hardwood floor. You never want to use harsh chemicals for example, or use anything that is very watery, otherwise, you're going to soak your floor and end up warping your boards. However, there is also the risk that you take from something as simple as furniture polish. </div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 1.3em;">
How can furniture polish damage your hardwood floor? Well, for one, most furniture polish is either oil-based, or has wax in it. As a result, even though the polish will clean your hardwood floor, after a while, the hardwood will start to soak up the oil and/or wax, and as a result, your floor will look dingy. In addition, some hardwood floors such as teak have a naturally high oil content already, so adding more oil can discolor or even ruin your wood. If you end up with oil soaked wood, at that point, there is no amount of cleaning that you can do that will bring back your floor. What usually happens at this stage, is someone reaches for something acidic like bleach or vinegar to cut through the residue. While white vinegar in small amounts can hep clean your hardwood floor, in larger doses, it can cause more damage. That's where a professional hardwood floor cleaning service can help. They have access to cleaning solutions that you don't have, and can also recommend some general care advice between visits. </div>

<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 1.3em;">
It is important that you know what type of hardwood floor that you have. Why? Well, different types of hardwood floors require different types of care. Do you have hickory flooring or teak parquet? Is it heart of pine, or do you have oak? Is it a solid hardwood floor, or a veneer? The answers to these questions help you to narrow down what you're going to need to do where <em>hardwood floor cleaning </em>is concerned. However it isn't just knowing your floor type, you also have to know what type of finish your hardwood floor has.</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 1.3em;">
Hardwood floor finishes fit into two categories. Your hardwood floor either has a surface finish, or a penetrating one. A lot of times, hardwood floor comes from the manufacturer with a surface finish as a rule. Usually made of polyurethane, the finish fan be damaged if you use the wrong product or cleaning method. If your floor is glossy, it is most likely a surface finish. If the finish is more matte level, it is probably a penetrating finish. No matter what type of floor you have, there are certain no no's to avoid at all costs.</div>

How to Clean Your Hardwood Floor and Not Wreck It</h3>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 1.3em;">
For one thing, water is one of your hardwood floor's biggest threats, so never ever wet mop it. Damp mopping is okay sometimes, but again, use caution. Another thing you want to avoid is any harsh chemicals. You could strip off your floor's finish, which if you want to do hardwood floor refinishing isn't a problem, however, it is a problem when you just want to do a bit of cleaning.</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 1.3em;">
So remember, know what you're doing. Avoid water on your hardwood floor. Make sure people take off their shoes, particularly ones like high heels or boots that can scratch the floor up, and make sure that there are mats at every doorway. And above all else, if you don't know what you're doing, call someone in who does, such as a <span data-mce-style="text-decoration: underline;" style="text-decoration: underline;">hardwood floor refinishing service in Los Angeles</span>.</div>

<div style="margin-bottom: 1.3em;">
Should you use a store-bought product to clean your hardwood floor? First off, you have to a bit of homework. Check out the product online, plus any reviews. Read the ingredients carefully before you use it. Anything that is wax-based should be avoided. For one, it will likely make y our floor extremely slippery. For another, while wax can make your floor look wonderful at first, after a while the wax will accumulate dirt and end up looking dingy. Then you'll have to put more and more of this sort of product on, ultimately forcing you to call a <em>hardwood floor cleaning service</em>.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 1.3em;">
Another thing to think about is the fact that a lot of hardwood floor cleaning products have one thing in common. They are full of toxic chemicals, a great many of which are carcinogens. And sometimes going green is harder than you might think. Some environmentally-friendly hardwood floor cleaning products are all but useless, and others are effective, but are vinegar based, leaving your rooms smelling rather like salad dressing. Or as this article excerpt from Green Living shows: "If you use conventional cleaning products on your floor, well, think of it as swishing and swashing potentially toxic chemicals across the largest surface area of your home. And then consider the Environmental Protection Agency study showing indoor levels of pollutants (like formaldehyde, chloroform, and styrene) ranging from two to 50 times higher than outdoor levels—much of it from conventional cleaning supplies. Some floor cleaners include a surprisingly toxic ingredient list—people exposed to the heavy-duty cleaners often experience eye irritation, dizziness, loss of concentration, fatigue, wheezing, coughing, asthma attacks, respiratory infections, and hypersensitivity pneumonitis. Floor cleaners that give you shine also give you off-gassing of petroleum-based polymers. In addition, most of the fragrance that accompanies conventional floor cleaners are either indoor air pollutants on their own, or are inert on their own but mix with ozone to create formaldehyde and other toxic air contaminates [<a data-mce-href="http://www.care2.com/greenliving/natural-floor-cleaning-easy-greening.html#ixzz32x0Iwdxs" href="http://www.care2.com/greenliving/natural-floor-cleaning-easy-greening.html#ixzz32x0Iwdxs">READ MORE]</a></div>

<div style="margin-bottom: 1.3em;">
If you have children, they most likely have toys of some sort. Plush toys aren't anything to worry about, but what about hard plastic or metal ones with wheels. Racing one car across a hardwood floor can leave a very expensive scratch that you'll have to call in a <em>professional hardwood floor refinishing service</em> to get out. Solution: Have a play area, or make sure that there are soft rugs around. Any dirt or mud that is tracked in by your kids or your pets should be cleaned up immediately.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 1.3em;">
Here's one of our hardwood floor cleaning tips. Never wet mop your hardwood floor. Instead, damp mop, or spray a mop with a dusting agent to pull the dust and dirt up. You can vacuum your floor, just make sure that there aren't any metal attachments lowered that can scratch up your floor. You can also use electrostatic wipes that you can get at a grocery store. Whichever method you use, make sure you remove dirt and grit. If you don't, you could end up with scratches</div>
<h3>
Hardwood Floors and Entry Points</h3>
<div style="margin-bottom: 1.3em;">
Grit is the worst for your floor. You can't help to track it in, but it is a good idea to have rugs at each entry point and make it a household rule to wipe one's feet on the welcome mat. A foyer closet is a good place to put shoes and boots that can track mud or dirt in. Make sure that you clean all of your rugs too at least once a month. Another good policy to follow is to make sure that you clean up any liquid spills immediately. You may even wish to seal your hardwood floor. Call your hardwood floor cleaning service to see if this is an option.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 1.3em;">
Hardwood floor adds warm tones to any room that it is installed in. So take care of your hardwood floor. Never let puddles stand on a hardwood floor. Wipe them up immediately. If you have pets, particularly dogs, sealing your floor will help to protect it. And if you need help, get on the phone to the right people, a<span data-mce-style="text-decoration: underline;" style="text-decoration: underline;"> hardwood floor cleaning service in Los Angeles</span>.</div>
