Sablage Bergeron specializes in the installation, varnishing, staining and sanding of hardwood floors and offers valuable advice for effective, fast and long-lasting floor maintenance and cleaning!

HARDWOOD FLOOR MAINTENANCE, AN ESSENTIAL STEP FOR LONG-LASTING DURABILITY

The maintenance of a hardwood floor is simple and effective when it is done frequently and optimally. Indeed, some simple actions can be implemented to take care of your flooring:

  • Do not wear shoes when walking on a hardwood floor. The heels of your shoes can considerably damage your floor.
  • Trim your pets’ claws. Dog and cat claws affect the quality of your hardwood floor. If your faithful companion gets into the habit of scratching your floors, protect their paws or regularly trim their claws.
  • Place felt pads under your furniture. Furniture, tables and chairs are often moved. To prevent damage to your hardwood floors, placing felt pads is a simple and effective solution.
  • Monitor the humidity level in your home. If your humidity level does not stay between 40% and 50% at all times, you should equip yourself with a humidifier for regular humidity control.

When varnishing, staining or sanding floors, you must also respect the recommended time before moving or replacing your furniture on hardwood floors. For example, if you apply varnish, you must wait 10 hours before walking on your floor, 48 hours before returning your furniture and 30 days before replacing your carpets and rugs.

Proper maintenance of your wood floor will help you save on costly repairs and make your investment more profitable while maintaining the beauty of your floors!

HARDWOOD FLOOR CLEANING FOR OPTIMAL SHINE

If your floor lacks shine, has cracks and scratches, or if your floor warps, you are advised to call in professionals to stain, varnish, sand or repair your hardwood floor.

If you clean your hardwood floor regularly and thoroughly, you will improve the quality and durability of your floor.

For floor cleaning, you can equip yourself with cleaning kits that are specially designed for hardwood floors and are available in stores. You are advised to sweep your surface regularly.
