When used directly on a wood floor, products such as bleach, disinfectant<br />
aerosols or other “sterilising” cleaning products can break down existing<br />
finishes, resulting in premature wear. In addition, these products can<br />
discolour finishes and wood, leave a haze on the floor’s surface or cause<br />
irreversible damage to any type of wood floor.<br />
It is not advised to use a steam mop on a wood floor. Steam is the vapour<br />
form of water, which means it can travel deeper and faster between cracks<br />
and into the cells of the wood. Repeated use can permanently damage the<br />
wood and the floor’s finish.<br />
Finally, to decrease the potential for tracking germs inside, consider<br />
removing your shoes before entering your house. Place breathable throw<br />
rugs at doorways to help prevent dirt and debris from being tracked<br />
inside. P<br />
