Keeping your floor clean will help maintain its beauty and luster between professional maintenance visits. Dirt & Grit, when combined with foot-traffic, will wear the flooring’s finish and cause scratches. You can remove dirt from the flooring using a dry, static cling dusting cloth (such as a Swiffer or Grab It), or vacuum cleaner. We recommend using Bona Wood Floor Cleaner, Bona Deep Cleaner for harder to treat spot/stains, and Bona Refresh to Maintain in between Professional Maintenance.
Vacuum: There are several vacuum models and styles that are suitable for your flooring. We recommend that the unit you select has a long hose with a soft bristled brush wand, or a Vacuum with Rubber Wheels [Electrolux or Dyson]. The model should have soft wheel, as plastic wheels may scuff the flooring.
Food and Liquid Spills should be cleaned immediately using a cloth lightly dampened with water. If the spill is oil-based, such as grease, and will not wipe up with water, apply a small amount of liquid dish soap or vinegar diluted with water to a rag and lightly wipe the area. Wipe the area dry with a clean soft cloth.
If you use soap for this solution, clean small spot only, not the entire floor. Please contact us if you have any questions regarding spills. (949) 645-1406.
Warren Christopher Flooring is finished with natural oil that must be periodically reapplied in order to maintain the flooring’s finish. This service should be
performed when the “traffic” areas look dry or dull when compared to the other areas. Traffic areas are the sections of your flooring that received the most foot traffic, and often include hallways and flooring around tables and kitchen islands. In most cases, professional care will be required approximately once per year.
However, it has been our experience that the first six months of living on your new floors may be the most challenging to the finish, particularly if the flooring has been installed as part of new construction. The extra wear and tear is usually the result of
(1) Incomplete landscaping (2) airborne debris from nearby construction (3) continued construction-related work in the home. Moving furniture into a new home can also put greater-than-normal stresses on the flooring’s finish.
Under normal conditions, we recommend that once every few years you have a full coat of finish applied to your flooring. Certified Warren Christopher Professionals experienced in oil finishes are available to provide this service. Our technicians have the tools and expertise to perform this method efficiently and thoroughly.
The purpose of maintaining your flooring in this manner is to ensure you have the correct amount of finish protecting the color. If you wear through this finish, you may damage the color, which can lead to extensive and specialized color repair procedures.
Please note: All work on Warren Christopher’s Flooring, staircases, or finish pieces must be completed by a Warren Christopher Professional. Any work done by someone other than one of our Professionals voids any warranty. Please call us for more information (949) 645-1406
Apply stick on felt glides to the bottoms of chairs, tables, couches, cabinets, and all heavy objects. These are available are most hardware stores. Do not use glides that require a nail or hard surface to attach it to a chair. These types of glides may wear and scratch your floor. Clean and/ or replace the glides on a regular basis.
Warren Christopher recommends the use of doormats in front of your main doors, back doors, and garage entries, particularly in those places where dirt is easily tracked onto the flooring.
Warren Christopher suggests the use of area rugs for especially easy use areas such as in front of the sink and hallways. If you are going to utilize a pad under an area rug to keep the rug from slipping, only use pads made from synthetic materials (such as polyester weave). Do not use pads made from latex or rubber, as prolonged contact with your flooring may damage the finish and/ or color.
Improperly maintained high heel shoes can cause significant damage to your flooring. The pressure from the exposed nail will cause small dents to occur where the person has walked. The exposed nail may also scratch the flooring, causing damage to the color and finish of the wood.
