Cleaning and Care for Simba Floors
Your Simba Floors are crafted to last, but proper cleaning and care are essential to maintain their beauty and longevity. Follow our expert guidelines to keep your flooring looking its best for years to come.
Daily Maintenance
Regular cleaning helps prevent dirt and debris from scratching or damaging your floors. Here’s how to maintain them daily:
- Sweep or Vacuum: Use a soft-bristle broom or a vacuum designed for hard floors to remove dust and debris.
- Dry Mop: Use a microfiber mop to clean the surface gently and prevent scratches.
Weekly Cleaning
For a deeper clean, follow these steps:
- Use a Damp Mop: Lightly dampen a microfiber mop with water or a manufacturer-approved hardwood floor cleaner.
- Avoid Standing Water: Excessive moisture can damage the wood, so never leave standing water on the floor.
- Spot Clean: Address spills immediately with a soft cloth or paper towel.
Dos and Don'ts
- Do: Place rugs or mats in high-traffic areas to reduce wear and tear.
- Do: Use felt pads under furniture legs to prevent scratches.
- Don’t: Use harsh chemicals, abrasive cleaners, or steam mops, as they can damage the floor’s finish.
- Don’t: Drag furniture across the floor; lift and place it instead.
Seasonal Care
Wood flooring can expand and contract with changes in humidity. Keep these tips in mind:
- Maintain a humidity level between 40% and 55% to prevent cracking or warping.
- Use a humidifier in winter and a dehumidifier in summer to regulate moisture levels.
Dealing with Spills and Stains
Accidents happen, but prompt action can prevent permanent damage:
- Liquid Spills: Wipe immediately with a dry or slightly damp cloth.
- Sticky Substances: Gently scrape with a plastic scraper and clean with a damp cloth.
- Stubborn Stains: Use a manufacturer-recommended hardwood cleaner to address tough stains.
Long-Term Protection
Ensure your floors remain in excellent condition by following these additional tips:
- Recoat as Needed: Depending on wear, apply a new finish every few years to restore the floor’s luster.
- Prevent Sun Damage: Use blinds or curtains to protect floors from prolonged exposure to sunlight, which can cause fading.
- Trim Pet Nails: Keep pet nails trimmed to avoid scratches.
