Preventing Moisture Problems
•
Controlling humidity is the most important factor in preventing problems with moisture and
your wood floor. The correct maintenance also will go a long way in avoiding problems.
•
Clean your wood floor with a cloth lightly dampened by a recommended cleaning product,
using the manufacturer
’
s directions for use. It is best to buy a
“
floor care kit
”
recommended by your wood floor installer or retailer.
•
Do not clean your wood floors with water or water-based products on a regular schedule
—
clean only when necessary and clean only the soiled areas.
•
Never damp mop a wood floor. The water deteriorates the wood and the finish.
•
Never let a water spill dry on the floor.
•
In order to meet temperature requirements, use an air humidifier during the dry season,
and use an air conditioner to maintain acceptable humidity during humid summers. We
recommend buying a combined digital temperature/moisture meter in order to monitor
indoor conditions all year round.
