Engineered flooring is made up of three to five layers of hardwood. Each layer is stacked in a cross-grain configuration and bonded together, resulting in a product that is less likely to be affected by changes in humidity and can be installed at all levels of the home.

Maintaining your wood floors is easy. New technology in stains and finishes call for regular cleaning that takes little more than sweeping and/or vacuuming, with occasional use of a professional wood floor cleaning product. You will want to use a cleaning product recommended by the flooring manufacturer. This will ensure that you use the proper cleaner for your type of flooring and finish.

Do not use any type of cleaner that is not specifically made for hardwood floors.
Use proper tools to clean your floor. Machine washable microfiber mops are best. Electrostatic action attracts dirt, micro-particles and common household allergens.
Avoid using water and vinegar which can dull floor’s finish overtime, soap-based cleaners which can leave residue, or steam cleaners which put heat and excessive water on your floor and can lead to cupping or long term damage.
Use floor mats at doorways to help prevent debris from being tracked in and scratching your floor.
Standing water can dull the finish and damage wood, which is why you should water mop your hardwood floors.
Wipe up spills immediately.
Use felt protectors under the legs of furniture to prevent scuffing and scratching. Replace these often as dirt and debris can become imbedded on the pad and scratch the surface of the wood.
To prevent scratches, do not slide heavy furniture on wood flooring to prevent scratches. It is best to pick up the furniture to move it.
For wood flooring in the kitchen, place an area rug at the kitchen sink to avoid water dropping on floors.
Exposure to UV sunlight will color loss and shading with all hardwood floors over time. Window treatments are recommended to shade and protect your wood floor.
