Quick Tips To Keep Wood Floors Looking Like New
 | STOP DIRT AT THE DOOR Grit, gravel and dirt are enemies of a floor finish. Use outside door mats. Use inside floor mats at each door. Clean these mats regularly by vacuuming or shaking. |
| VACUUM WITH A VENGEANCE Vacuum regularly. Do not use a beater-bar head or attachments intended for carpet. Use a dust mop. |
| WIPE UP SPILLS BEFORE THEY SPOT Use a damp cloth or paper towel to wipe up spills before they dry. |
| GET FURNITURE OFF THE FLOOR Use commercially made felt protectors or furniture coasters under all table and chair legs. (We stock Glide King Floor Protector Products) Extremely heavy items such as pianos should have weight disbursed at each leg by using weight cups. |
| GIVE PETS A PEDICURE & HOUSE-BREAK THEM Keep your pet's nails trimmed. Pet accidents will leave a black stain that will not sand out. |
| BE CAREFUL WITH CHEMICALS! Do NOT use Endust, Pledge, Mop'N'Glo, Murphy's Oil Soap, Formula 409, Fantastik, or similar products. Do NOT use ammonia or water. |
