Laminated Floors.

• We recommend that only formulated detergents specifically designed for laminated floors are used to clean surfaces of laminated flooring.
• The Dirt and gravel that subsides and remains underneath your shoes are a common threat to laminated floors, as the dirt that residues tend to scratch at the coat of the floors. To prevent this, leave mats at all exits and entrances of your home, this will minimize the sand and grit that you may be carrying inside, using two, to an entrance, will be handy at the fact that when you are cleaning one, use the other one in replacement and vice versa.
•  One generally overlooked factor of potentially harmful grazes and gouging are caused by everyday home furniture, especially heavy furniture, however this can be avoided by placing felt protector pads underneath the feet of your couches, tables anything you would consider to have the potential to harm your floor. * avoid dragging heavy furniture as this will result in deep gouging *
• Liquid spills must be cleaned up immediately as a result of the neglect of water interaction may cause water seepage in between joints, hence becoming weakened, damaged and even delaminated in severe cases.

Solid Timber Floors

• Frequent Vacuuming and light sweeping will assist greatly in preventing a dull timber finish caused by dust.
• Aim to maintain a consistent and reasonable humidity and moisture variation levels, if the temperature were to be constantly changing this would most definitely result in cupping, arising gaps etc.  
• Small rugs and hall runners are considerably helpful for collecting the dirt and grit that are very possible to scratch a solid timber floor.
• Sweep considerably high traffic rooms, as regular as possible, we recommend that you us a soft bristle broom or an electrostatic mop.
• All genuinely natural timbers will subtly alter their colour scheme over time. However direct exposure to sunlight immensely quickens this process, resulting in rapid colour change, however to prevent this from happening, we advise you to shade spaces that are more  vulnerable to sunlight with rugs, curtains or perhaps blinds.
• * TIP: remember to rotate rugs periodically to prevent irregular spotting.
• High heeled shoes and rugged soles of any shoes tend to be a common cause for denting and slight damage to solid timber surfaces.
• *take caution when removing shoes that have exposed heels that possess sharp points to avoid potential damage to a solid timber floor.
• To remove surface dirt and grit, regularly vacuum, with a soft bristle head or an electrostatic attachment, sweep often with an electrostatic mop.
• Regular cleaning of mats are encouraged, For stubborn dirt, continue to use a damp-mop on the specified area, * ensure that the mop is ridded of as much water as possible.
• * Over wetting a floor when mopping or cleaning can change the moisture balance and cause a floor to expand. For this reason, it is important to ensure that mops and cloths are well wrung so that as little water solution as possible wets the floor.
•  Refrain from using common household Detergents, Polishes, Cotton Wool Pads, Wax or any products within a similar category. Products in resemblance with these household cleansing products often consist of abrasive chemicals which tend to result in either scratching the surface of your floor, or cause hazardously slippery floor.
• * Never use Methylated Spirits, as any type of petroleum distillate will degrade the coating and irrevocably taint your floor dull.

steam mops are not recommended for cleaning timber floors. Steam (moisture) is forced into the joints of the timber and any small incisions, breaks or cracks on the timber floor surface resulting in unusual reactions in the timber such as cupping. The heat from the steam mop could also cause damaged to the coating on the floor.
