The Do's and Don'ts of Cork Flooring

When you own beautiful cork floors there are several do's and don'ts you should follow in order to keep your cork floors looking like they've just been installed.

DO's:

1.Vacuum or sweep your cork floors regularly. 2.Immediately wipe up spills, using a soft cloth. 3.Use breathable floor mats in front of entryways and sinks. 4.Let your children or grandchild enjoy the freedom of playing on your cork floors. The little ones will not hurt your floors. 5.Do use area rugs in high traffic areas. If you prefer not to use rugs, then periodically check your cork floors for wear. 6.Do place felt pads on the feet of your furniture to protect your cork floors from scratches. 7.To prevent impressions, rearrange heavy furniture regular.

DON'Ts:

1.Don't use a wet or excessively damp mop a cork floor. Excessive amounts of water will cause cork floor to swell and warp, or cup.

2.Don't drag furniture across cork floors as sharp edges and corners can tear and severely mar cork floors. This also holds true for pet claws, which aren't regularly trimmed.

3.Never use wax, or an oily soap or other harsh household cleaners on polyurethane finished cork floor, as these products will dull the finishes.
