- The most moisture in your home will come from your basement. Purchase a humidistat in order to track the levels of humidity in your home and place it in the basement for the most accurate calculation.
- Purchase a dehumidifier to put in the basement as well. This will remove the moisture from your home, which is beneficial since hardwood that absorbs too much moisture can cup and cracks.
- Keep the humidity in your home between 30-50%.
- In order to maintain the integrity and appearance of your hardwood, apply felt pads to the bottom of all furniture that is in direct contact with the flooring.
- If you have pets, ensure that their nails are kept short in order to avoid any surface scratches.
- When cleaning your floor, choose a cleaner that is specifically for hardwood flooring in order to avoid damages to the wood. A cleaner such as Bona is the ideal product for this. Use a dust mop for everyday cleaning.
- Do not let excessive water get on the floor because this can deteriorate the wood and the finish.
