How to Maintain a Hardwood Timber Floor
“In this blog, we’ll guide you through easy ways to maintain (clean, resand, and recoat) your floors, ensuring they stay stunning for decades to come…“
Hardwood timber floors have long been loved for their natural beauty, timeless elegance, and durability. At Lifewood, our handcrafted timber floors not only enhance the aesthetic appeal of your home but are also incredibly easy to maintain.
1. Effortless Everyday Timber Flooring Cleaning
One of the best things about hardwood timber floors is how little effort it takes to clean them. Unlike carpets that trap dirt or tiles with grout that can discolor, timber floors are smooth and easy to wipe down. A quick sweep with a soft broom or a vacuum with a hard-floor attachment will remove dust and debris. For a deeper clean, simply use a damp microfiber mop and a timber-safe cleaner, like the one in our Lifewood Care Kit.
2. Managing Flooring Surface Scratches
Life happens—whether it’s pets, kids, or moving furniture, surface scratches can sometimes appear. The good news? These scratches are easy to manage. For minimal scratches, a simple touch-up using the Lifewood’s Care Kit includes tools that can restore your floor’s natural beauty in a minute.
3. The Power of Flooring Sanding and Polishing
One of the unique benefits of Lifewood’s Stabilised Solid® timber floors is the 4x resandable surface with premiun grade top hardwood floor and 9 layers of German coating system . Over the years, if your floor shows signs of wear or you want to refresh its look, a professional sanding and polishing service will make it look brand-new again. This process removes imperfections, rejuvenates the surface, and gives your floor a fresh finish that will last for years.
4. Recoat for Long-Term Protection
Recoating is another fantastic option to extend the life of your hardwood floors. Unlike replacement, recoating is cost-effective and minimally disruptive. It involves applying a fresh layer of protective finish to shield your floor from future scratches and wear. A recoat every 5–10 years ensures your floor remains in top condition, even in high-traffic areas
5. Low Maintenance for High Value
Compared to alternatives like carpet or vinyl, hardwood floors are far easier to maintain. They don’t trap allergens, they’re resistant to stains, and they won’t need frequent replacements. With just a little care, your hardwood floors will last for generations, making them a smart investment for your home
