How to Care for Bruce Engineered Hardwood Floors

Daily and Weekly Care

Sweep or vacuum regularly. This will remove dirt and dust, which can scratch the floor if left on for too long.
Use a microfiber mop with a damp cloth. Do not use a wet mop, as this can damage the floor.
Wipe up spills immediately. If you spill something on the floor, blot it up with a clean cloth. Do not rub, as this can spread the spill and damage the floor.
Place mats or rugs under furniture. This will help protect the floor from scratches and dents.
Use furniture pads on the legs of your furniture. This will help prevent scratches and dents.
Avoid wearing shoes with heels on the floor. Heels can scratch the floor.
Protect the floor from sunlight. Sunlight can fade the floor over time. Use curtains or blinds to block out the sun.

Deep clean the floor. Use a hardwood floor cleaner and a microfiber mop. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for the cleaner.
Inspect the floor for scratches or dents. If you find any scratches or dents, you can repair them with a hardwood floor repair kit.
Apply a protective sealant. This will help protect the floor from scratches and damage.

Have the floor professionally cleaned. A professional cleaner will have the equipment and expertise to clean the floor thoroughly and safely.
Have the floor inspected by a professional. A professional inspector can identify any potential problems with the floor and recommend repairs.

Use a humidifier in the winter to prevent the floor from drying out.
Avoid using harsh chemicals on the floor.
