In fact, most of these problems stem from the lack of understanding of solid wood flooring. Many people have the following two common misunderstandings about the maintenance of solid wood floors:
First, it's too delicate to take care of?
The first common cognitive misunderstanding is that solid wood flooring is very delicate and difficult to take care of. For example, in Zhihu, "Can the solid wood floor be mopped?" And other issues, indicating that people are too careful and worried about the cleaning and maintenance of solid wood floors. Many flooring vendors have issued dozens of notices, which also invisibly deepened people's impression that solid wood flooring is delicate and difficult to take care of.
It is true that the solid wood floor is physically processed from a whole log, and its wear resistance and waterproof performance can't be compared with those of ceramic tiles, stones or artificial materials, so it needs careful use and maintenance, but it is far from as troublesome as some people think. In the daily cleaning of solid wood floor, use broom or vacuum cleaner to clean dust, with semi-dry mop and neutral cleaning solvent. At the same time, solid wood flooring does not need to be waxed and essential oil frequently, but waxing will lead to more dust.
The degree of care and maintenance is also closely related to the product quality and processing technology of solid wood flooring. Good solid wood flooring has strong stability and convenient care. For example, the solid wood floor in Tian Ge adopts six-sided three-dimensional coating, which can effectively control moisture penetration, and cooperates with the world's top coating companies Fu Jian and Kunlun to use advanced resin coatings, which have excellent properties such as anti-pollution, wear resistance and colorfastness. The way of locking connection and hanging pavement realizes the same expansion and contraction, which deepens the stability of the floor and makes the product durable.
Second, if you don't pay attention, it will wear out quickly?
The second common cognitive misunderstanding, contrary to the first one, is completely ignoring the cleaning and maintenance of solid wood floors, which leads to accelerated floor wear and shortened service time. Although you don't need to be too careful in the use of solid wood flooring, you should still pay attention to avoid reducing the service life of solid wood flooring.
1. Moisture proof
The solid wood floor can be slowly absorbed and released, and the indoor temperature and humidity can be adjusted, which is beneficial to family health. However, environments that are too dry or too humid are not suitable for wood preservation. For example, in humid summer, when the indoor humidity is ≥75%, it is best to take dehumidification measures such as ventilation, air conditioning and dehumidifier to keep the floor dry and clean.
At the same time, in daily cleaning, it is necessary to remove the liquid spilled on the floor in time and wipe the floor with a semi-dry mop. If a large area or part of the accident is flooded for a long time, you should contact the local dealer immediately for handling.
Protect yourself from the sun.
Long-term exposure can easily lead to premature aging of the floor coating, and the rapid change of indoor temperature can also easily lead to cracking and deformation of the floor. Therefore, it is necessary to avoid sun exposure or electric heaters to dry the floor, and it is even more impossible to let the floor touch open flames. When floor heating is used, it should be heated and cooled slowly. It is suggested that the heating and cooling speed should not be higher than 3℃/24h, and the floor surface temperature should not exceed 27℃. Legless furniture should be avoided.
Step 3: Scratch protection
Hard objects are easy to scratch the floor, and falling heavy objects may hurt the floor. In the family, there are two main aspects of scratch prevention of solid wood floors: daily cleaning and furniture use. Because gravel may scratch the surface of the floor, it is necessary to clean it regularly or use a vacuum cleaner to remove dust. It is best to prevent the floor from being indirectly protected by the foot pad at the entrance. When moving heavy objects and furniture, handle them with care. Furniture that moves frequently can be placed under your feet.
