Wide-Plank Knotty Pine Flooring Maintenance & Warranty
Maintenance
Keep your DuroDesign knotty pine floor clean, and it will last much longer – grit and dirt accelerate wear.
Your DuroDesign pine floor is very well protected by our high-traffice UV oil finish, but to prevent grit, sand and dirt from being ground into the floor and dulling and scratching the finish, as with any floor, keep the floor clean.
Your knotty pine floor should be routinely vacuumed.
Occasionally, clean the pine floor with a damp mop using wood cleaners formulated for pre-finished hardwood or laminate floors diluted in a bucket of water. These products are commonly found in any Home Depot, Lowes or any reseller of hardwood floors.
Never wax your DuroDesign pine floor.
Spills should be wiped up immediately, as water left for extended periods of time may damage the floor.
Use walk-off mats at entrance doors and in front of kitchen sink is encouraged. Avoid rubber backed or other non-ventilated mats or rugs.
Install proper protectors under "feet" of furniture.
Wheeled chairs should have wide casters.
Beware high heels! Due to the concentration of weight on such a small surface, an average size woman in high heels can exert 2000 pounds per square inch of pressure on the floor that could indent the floors permanently.
Maintaining an adequate temperature and relative humidity around 50%, you will minimize contraction and expansion of your pine flooring.
Observe re-finishing maintenance schedule, and re-finish the pine floor when high-traffic areas begin to show signs of wear.
