Caring For Your New Floor
Keep Your Floors Looking Like New!
At Architect, we hold our customers in the highest regard. Your satisfaction is our priority, and we are committed to ensuring a positive experience for you at every step of the way. Here’s what you can expect from us:
Wood Floors:
- Routine dusting is key: Regularly dusting your wood floors helps keep them clean and free from debris.
- Avoid wet mopping: Never use a wet mop on wood floors, as excessive moisture can damage the wood. Instead, opt for a professional wood cleaning product.
- Be cautious with cleaning products: Avoid using ammonia or other harsh floor cleaning products, as they can harm the finish of your wood floors.
- Act quickly on spills: Promptly wipe up any spills to prevent staining or warping of the wood. Keep damp items off the floor to avoid moisture damage.
- Use a soft brush attachment when vacuuming: To prevent scratches, use a vacuum with a soft brush attachment when cleaning your wood floors.
- Protect against sunlight: Prolonged exposure to sunlight can cause fading of wood floors. Consider using window coverings to help prevent sun damage.
- Use furniture protector pads: Place protector pads on the legs of furniture, especially on chairs that are frequently moved, to prevent scratches and dents on your wood floors.
Wool Rugs:
- Vacuum regularly: Use a vacuum to remove everyday dust and dirt from your wool rug. In the first year, we recommend vacuuming at least twice a week to eliminate excess fuzz that may accumulate on the surface. This fuzzing is normal and does not affect the lifespan of the rug; it’s simply loose fibers from the weaving process.
- Clean spills promptly: Immediately blot spills with a clean, dry cloth. Avoid rubbing, and use a wool-specific cleaning product if necessary. Avoid using “Oxy” cleaners as they can damage wool fibers.
- Professional steam cleaning: When needed, opt for professional steam cleaning for the most effective results.
Natural Fiber Rugs:
- Avoid wet cleaning methods: Do not steam clean or wet-shampoo natural fiber rugs.
- Prompt spill cleanup: Blot excess moisture from spills with a clean, dry cloth.
- Regular vacuuming: Remove dirt and dust by vacuuming frequently.
- Use entrance mats: Place mats outside entrances to trap soil before it enters your home.
