TAKE CARE OF ENGINEERED WOOD FLOORS
As with many other products, a certain amount of maintenance is required to keep a floor in good condition. With proper maintenance, your engineered wood floor will retain its beauty for years to come. Light floors, are typically more sensitive to wear-and-tear than dark ones, and therefore require more frequent cleaning and maintenance. Our wood floors are durable and easy to keep clean, but there are some things you need to think about.

CLEANING ENGINEERED WOOD FLOORS
Dry cleaning is the best way to clean engineered wood floors, rather than wet cleaning. Vacuum and brush regularly and occasionally use a damp, well-wrung-out cloth/mop. For best results, use Kährs Cleaner diluted in water or ready-mixed Kährs Spray Cleaner. The floor should dry within a minute if you’ve used the right amount of water. Remember that beech and hard maple floors are extra sensitive to moisture.
REMOVING MARKS
Remove marks as soon as possible using Kährs Cleaner diluted in water. Avoid cleaning fluids containing ammonia.
Oiled floors: Strong stain removing agents and hard scrubbing can lead to discolouring. Oil the cleaned area with Kährs Satin Oil. If there is a colour difference after removing the stain, you can use a coloured Kährs Touch-up oil.
Lacquered floors: Strong stain removing agents and hard scrubbing can affect the lacquer.
WOOD FLOOR MAINTENANCE TIPS
Oiled floors should be treated directly after installation and once a year thereafter. Both oiled and lacquered floors can be freshened up when the wood floor becomes hard to clean or if the surface gets scratched or dull.
Oiled floors: Use Kährs Satin Oil.
Lacquered floors: Use Kährs Lacquer Refresher.

REPAIRS - LACQUERED FLOORS
