• Sweep wood floors often with a soft, fine bristle broom.
• Vacuum once or twice a week to remove dirt and sand. Use a soft brush attachment to minimize scratching.
• Since water is one of a wood floors worst enemies, get rid of water right away! Remove wet spills ASAP with soft towels or a wet/dry vacuum, then dry thoroughly.

Tips:
1. Use area rugs in high traffic areas, shaking them out often so dirt and sand does not seep through and cause scratching.
2. Always remove spills promptly. While small drips of water may not harm the floor, be sure not to let excess amounts of water sit on the floor.
